Gene therapy DB-OTO restored hearing in most children with genetic deafness, potentially replacing cochlear implants.
A gene therapy called DB-OTO led to significant, lasting hearing improvements in children with profound genetic hearing loss due to OTOF gene mutations, according to results from the CHORD trial.
Of 12 participants, 11 showed clinically meaningful hearing gains within weeks, with three achieving normal hearing levels.
Nine met the primary endpoint of hearing thresholds at 70 dB or better, potentially eliminating the need for cochlear implants.
Speech perception improved in all assessed children, and the treatment was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events.
Regeneron plans to submit a U.S. regulatory application later in 2025.
La terapia génica DB-OTO restauró la audición en la mayoría de los niños con sordera genética, potencialmente reemplazando los implantes cocleares.
