| Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On March 19, 2023, Solid Biosciences Inc. (the “Company”) presented one-year post-treatment data relating to safety, efficacy and microdystrophin expression in muscle biopsies for patients enrolled in the Company’s IGNITE DMD Phase I/II dose-ascending clinical trial evaluating SGT-001 in a poster presentation at the Muscular Dystrophy Association Clinical and Scientific Conference. Other than the required ongoing observation of patients in IGNITE DMD and the completion of already in process preclinical experiments, the SGT-001 program has concluded.
A copy of the Company’s poster presentation is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information provided under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Morris1, Perry Shieh2, Barry Byrne3 1 Solid Biosciences, Charlestown, MA; 2University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA; 3University of Florida, Gainesville, FL Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a fatal neuromuscular disease caused by mutations in the DMD gene that lead to the absence of functional dystrophin protein SGT-001 Capsid Promoter Transgene Skeletal and cardiac muscle tropism High skeletal and cardiac muscle expression Retains critical elements of full-length dystrophin including the nNOS binding domain AAV9 CK8 nNOS Microdystrophin nNOS Binding Domain Action Binding Domain Dystroglycan Binding Domain NH3 Hinge 1 R1 R16 R17 R23 R24 Hinge 4 COOH nNOS: neuronal nitric oxide synthase SGT-001 is an AAV microdystrophin gene transfer therapy evaluated for the safety, tolerability and efficacy in adolescents and children with DMD. SGT-001 was designed to deliver a unique, rationally designed dystrophin surrogate to replace absent protein in skeletal and cardiac muscles throughout the body Methods IGNITE DMD Phase I/II clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of SGT-001 (NCT03368742) Cohorts n=3 control subjects analyzed n=3 subjects at 5E13 vg/kg (Patients 1-3) n=6 subjects at 2E14 vg/kg (Patients 4-9) Safety Assessments Incidence of adverse events Biopsy Assessments Microdystrophin expression in muscle biopsies (2E14 vg/kg cohort) Clinical Assessments NSAA, 6MWT, FVC % Predicted, FEV1 % Predicted, PODCI Results presented as mean ± standard deviation for all control and treated subjects unless otherwise noted Enrollment in the study is complete and long term follow up to 5 years post-dosing continues Results: Biopsy Analysis Microdystrophin Expression and Protein Function in 3-Month and 12-Month Muscle Biopsies† Microdystrophin â-Sarcoglycan nNOS Activity Biopsy from Pt. 5 at 18 months 3 months 12 months 18 months 24 months Biopsy Results (2E14 vg/kg Cohort) (Mean % - (Mean % - (Pt. 5) † (Pt. 4) † Pts. 4-9) Pts. 6-9) % Normal Dystrophin (Western Blot) 6.6% 7.0% 69.8% BLQ* % Positive Fibers (Immunofluorescence) Manual Assessment 31% 22% 85% 10% Automated Assessment 40% 30% 84% 32% *BLQ: Below the 5% limit of quantification by Western blot BLQ values assigned 0.5*LLOQ for Mean calculations (=2.5%) †12-month biopsies for Pts. 4 and 5 collected at 24 months and 18 months, respectively, due to COVID-19.
