OUR GOAL:
Upregulate protein expression to treat
the underlying cause of severe genetic diseases
Stoke's pipeline offers potential first-in-class disease modifying new medicines
for diseases caused by protein insufficiency
STK-001 for | STK-002 for Autosomal | Rett syndrome, | And beyond… |
Dravet syndrome | Dominant Optic Atrophy | SYNGAP1 | ~6,500 additional genes |

Advantages of Stoke's Approach vs. Other Genetic Approaches
Selectively boosts expression | No observed unwanted | Utility across small and large |
only in tissues where the | off-target genetic effects | gene targets and mutations |
protein is normally expressed |
Does not | Ability to control dose level | Simple and scalable |

The Effects of Dravet Go Beyond "Just Seizures"
Intellectual Disability
& Developmental Delays
"Over time, we have seen slow, steady
decline in all areas, from speech, to mobility,
endurance, loss of energy, tolerance for
stimulation, stamina, etc."
Language & Speech
Disturbances
"At age 19, [our son] stopped talking, seemingly losing his capacity for speech
overnight. Most days he is silent, and though he can understand simple conversation he is
largely unable to express himself."
Source: Voice of the Patient Report Published by the Dravet Syndrome Foundation, May 2022
Movement & Balance
"We're disappointed when [our son's] physical activity is limited and the short walk or visit that we plan with his grandmothers must now be changed to a longer wheelchair ride."
Sleep Abnormalities
"Every single night, he has seizures in his sleep.
In addition to all of the other comorbidities of DS, he's robbed of the basic human necessity of getting a good night's sleep. This impacts our entire family, as it is hard to function on
so little sleep day after day."

Landmark New Data Support the Potential for STK-001 to be The First Medicine to Treat the Underlying Cause of Dravet Syndrome
Reductions in seizures and improvements in cognition and behavior that support the potential for disease modification
Phase 1/2a Study Data: 70mg doses demonstrated substantial & sustained
reductions in convulsive seizure frequency of:
85% at | 74% at | |
3 months | & | 6 months |
(n=10)(n=9)
on top of the best available anti-seizure medicines
OLE Studies (30mg, 45mg): | ||
Clinically meaningful, | ||
durable reductions in | ||
seizures and improvements | Recent FDA clearance | |
in multiple measures of | for 3 doses of | |
cognition & behavior over | 70mg and continued | |
12 months | dosing at 45mg | |
Next Steps: Meet with regulatory agencies to discuss
registrational study of 70mg followed by 45mg
