In other recent news, Taysha Gene Therapies has reported significant progress in its development of TSHA-102, a gene therapy for Rett syndrome. The company revealed details of its pivotal trial design, which received alignment from the FDA, allowing for a single-arm, open-label trial with primary endpoints focused on developmental milestone gains. Clinical data from the REVEAL trial indicated that all patients aged 6-21 years achieved at least one developmental milestone post-treatment, with high doses showing superior outcomes and no serious adverse events reported. Cantor Fitzgerald maintained an Overweight rating with a $7 price target, citing promising new data and a clear regulatory pathway as reasons for their confidence. JMP Securities also raised their price target from $5 to $6, highlighting the therapy’s 100% response rate and the FDA’s positive alignment as key factors. Additionally, Taysha announced a public offering of its common stock and pre-funded warrants, managed by Jefferies, BofA Securities, Piper Sandler, and Barclays (LON:BARC). The offering’s details are still subject to market conditions, but it marks a strategic move to advance their gene therapy pipeline. These developments underscore Taysha’s commitment to addressing severe neurological disorders and improving patient outcomes.
