BOSTON, Feb. 26, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entrada Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRDA) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025, and highlighted recent business updates.

“We have started 2026 with strong momentum, including a positive DMC recommendation to initiate the second cohort of ELEVATE-44-201 at the increased dose of 12 mg/kg. In the coming months, we will share multiple clinical readouts, including data from the first patient cohorts of the ELEVATE-44-201 and ELEVATE-45-201 studies, as well as the second patient cohort of the ELEVATE-44-201 study later in the year. We strongly believe these results continue to derisk our entire neuromuscular portfolio,” said Dipal Doshi, Chief Executive Officer at Entrada Therapeutics. “We are also advancing our growing development portfolio of genetic medicines, with the nomination of ENTR-801 for the potential treatment of Usher syndrome type 2A and the planned nomination of a second clinical candidate in inherited retinal diseases expected later this year. With a cash runway into the third quarter of 2027, we believe we are well-positioned to continue expanding our unique pipeline of intracellular therapeutics.”

Recent Corporate Highlights

Clinical-Stage Development Pipeline: Entrada continues to advance multiple clinical programs in people living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in the U.K., EU and U.S. In 2026, the Company expects to have four clinical-stage programs in its DMD franchise (ENTR-601-44, ENTR-601-45, ENTR-601-50 and ENTR-601-51), complementing the ongoing clinical progress of its myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) partnership (VX-670) with Vertex.

ELEVATE-44-201: Completed dosing of Cohort 1 of the global Phase 1/2 multiple ascending dose (MAD) portion of the clinical study of ENTR-601-44 in ambulatory patients living with DMD who are amenable to exon 44 skipping. An independent Data Monitoring Committee (DMC) has reviewed the data to date from the eight patients enrolled in Cohort 1 and recommended the initiation of Cohort 2 at the increased dose of 12 mg/kg without any protocol modification. All participants from Cohort 1 have transitioned into the open label, Phase 2 portion of the study. The Company is on track to report data from Cohort 1 (6 mg/kg) in the second quarter of 2026, data from Cohort 2 (12 mg/kg) by year-end 2026, and data from Cohort 3 (up to 18 mg/kg) to follow. Entrada intends to open an expansion cohort later in the year to increase the number of participants treated in the ELEVATE-44-201 study, as this study has been designed to support an accelerated approval in the U.S. In December 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Rare Pediatric Disease Designation to ENTR-601-44.
ELEVATE-44-102: The Company believes this clinical study, in the underserved adult patient population with advanced disease, would be best to initiate at the highest advisable starting dose. Following a review of safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic data from the ELEVATE-44-201 study in the U.K. and EU in Q2 2026, the Company plans to re-engage with the FDA to discuss increasing the planned doses in this clinical study. As such, the Company will provide an update on clinical study design and timing following interactions with the FDA.
ELEVATE-45-201: Initiated patient dosing in the global Phase 1/2 MAD clinical study of ENTR-601-45 in ambulatory patients living with DMD who are amenable to exon 45 skipping. The Company is on track to report data from Cohort 1 (5 mg/kg) in mid-2026, with data from Cohort 2 and Cohort 3 (up to 10 mg/kg and 15 mg/kg, respectively) to follow.
ELEVATE-50-201: The Company received regulatory authorization from the U.K.’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Research Ethics Committee to initiate a Phase 1/2 MAD clinical study of ENTR-601-50 in ambulatory patients living with DMD who are amenable to exon 50 skipping. The Company expects to submit regulatory applications and obtain authorization in the EU for ENTR-601-50 by year-end 2026.
ENTR-601-51: The Company expects to submit global regulatory applications for ENTR-601-51 in 2026.
VX-670: Vertex continues to enroll and dose the MAD portion of the GALILEO global Phase 1/2 clinical study of VX-670 in people with DM1. The study assesses both safety and efficacy and is on track to complete enrollment and dosing in mid-2026.

Expanding Preclinical Pipeline: The Company has generated compelling preclinical data from programs focused on ocular and metabolic diseases. The pipeline includes the advancement of two novel oligonucleotide-based programs for the potential treatment of inherited retinal diseases, where there exists high unmet need. The first ocular candidate, ENTR-801, for the potential treatment of Usher syndrome type 2A (USH2A) was announced in December 2025. The Company plans to announce a second clinical candidate in ocular disease in the second half of 2026.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results

Cash Position: Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $295.7 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to $420.0 million as of December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by cash used to fund operations. Based on current operating plans, the Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025 will be sufficient to fund its operations into the third quarter of 2027.

Collaboration Revenue: Collaboration revenue was $1.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $25.4 million for the full year of 2025, compared to $37.4 million and $210.8 million for the same periods in 2024. This decrease is primarily attributable to the substantial completion of the collaboration research plan activities associated with VX-670 during the first quarter of 2025.

Research & Development (R&D) Expenses: R&D expenses were $34.0 million for the fourth quarter and $142.3 million for the full year of 2025, compared to $33.4 million and $125.3 million for the same periods in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by additional costs incurred related to the Company’s DMD programs, as well as higher personnel costs (including non-cash, stock-based compensation).

General & Administrative (G&A) Expenses: G&A expenses were $9.6 million for the fourth quarter and $41.1 million for the full year of 2025, compared to $9.9 million and $38.5 million for the same periods in 2024. The annual increase was primarily due to higher personnel costs (including non-cash, stock-based compensation).

Net Income (loss): Net loss was $(39.2) million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $(143.8) million for the full year of 2025, compared to a net income of $1.1 million and $65.6 million for the same periods in 2024.
