Proceeds will support the clinical development of EPI-321, a first-in-class, disease-modifying therapy for facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD), a genetic neuromuscular disease, as well as continued advancement of the company’s broader pipeline.
The financing was led by Ally Bridge Group, with participation from SOLVE FSHD, the venture philanthropy organization founded by Chip Wilson, founder of Lululemon Athletica and FSHD patient, along with other new and existing investors.
