Taysha Gene Therapies Announces Positive Clinical Data Across Adult and Pediatric Patients from Low Dose Cohort in Ongoing REVEAL Phase 1/2 Trials Evaluating TSHA-102 in Rett Syndrome
Durable improvements across consistent clinical domains in both adult and pediatric patients, including motor skills, communication/socialization, autonomic function, seizures, and an encouraging safety profile seen across adult (up to 52 weeks) and pediatric (up to 22 weeks) patients with different genetic mutation severity
Longer-term data from both adult patients showed sustained and new improvements across multiple efficacy measures and clinical domains following the completion of steroid taper (patient one: sat unassisted for first time in over a decade, normalized sleep, stabilized seizures; patient two: improved hand stereotypies and breathing, seizure-free for 8.5 months at 25% lower anti-seizure medication)
Initial data from first two pediatric patients showed improvements across multiple efficacy measures and clinical domains, with early evidence of developmental gains (patient one: improved hand function, grasp and gross motor coordination, gained visual reception and receptive language skills; patient two: gained ability to stand up from chair and walk up a stair, increase in seizure-free days)
IDMC approved Company’s request for early advancement to cohort two (high dose) in the REVEAL pediatric trial; dosing expected in Q3 2024 following IDMC review of initial safety data from the first high dose patient in the adolescent and adult trial

DALLAS – June 18, 2024 – Taysha Gene Therapies, Inc. (Nasdaq: TSHA), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on advancing adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapies for severe monogenic diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), today announced positive longer-term clinical data from the ongoing REVEAL Phase 1/2 adolescent and adult trial and initial clinical data from the REVEAL Phase 1/2 pediatric trial evaluating TSHA-102 in Rett syndrome.
“We are highly encouraged by the safety profile and broad clinical response observed across multiple domains in both the adult and pediatric patients with different genetic mutation severity treated with the low dose of TSHA-102,” said Sean P. Nolan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Taysha. “The longer-term follow up data indicate a durable response with sustained and new improvements across multiple clinical domains in both adult patients, and importantly, both pediatric patients showed initial improvements across consistent clinical domains, with early evidence of developmental gains following treatment with TSHA-102. We believe these improvements in adult and pediatric patients further reinforce the potential of TSHA-102 to be transformative for a broad range of patients with Rett syndrome.”
Elsa Rossignol, M.D., FRCP, FAAP, Associate Professor in Neuroscience and Pediatrics at the Université de Montréal and Principal Investigator of the REVEAL adolescent and adult trial at the CHU Sainte-Justine added, “TSHA-102 was well-tolerated in both adult patients treated, with no serious adverse events or dose-limiting toxicities as of week 52 and week 36 post-treatment for the first and second patient, respectively. It’s encouraging that we continue to see improvements across multiple clinical domains in the longer-term assessments with no diminution of effect. The first adult patient sustained improvements at week 52 post-treatment after the completion of her steroid and sirolimus taper, including regaining movement in her legs, the gained ability to sit unassisted for the first time in over a
