PTC Therapeutics To Host Call To Discuss Results Of PTC518 Phase 1 Study For Huntington's Disease Program Thursday, Sept. 23, 2021 At 8 a.m. EDT

PTC Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PTCT) will host a conference call to discuss the positive results from the PTC518 Phase 1 healthy volunteer study. The new results include HTT mRNA and protein lowering, as well as PTC518 exposure levels in the cerebrospinal fluid, consistent with the compound penetrating the blood-brain barrier and not being effluxed out of the brain.



The conference call will be held on Thursday, Sept. 23 at 8:00 a.m. ET. During this call, the company will also provide an update on the PTC518 Phase 2 study, to be conducted in Huntington's disease patients, which PTC expects to initiate by the end of the year.

Huntington's disease is a progressive brain disorder that causes uncontrolled movements and cognitive loss. There are currently no approved disease modifying therapies for this debilitating disease.

The call can be accessed by dialing (877) 303-9216 (within the U.S.) or (973) 935-8152 (outside of the U.S.) five minutes prior to the start of the webinar and providing the passcode 2587770. A live, listen-only audiocast will be available on the Events and Presentations page of the Investor section of PTC Therapeutics' website at www.ptcbio.com. A replay will be available approximately two hours after completion of the call and will be archived for 30 days.
