Forward guidance

Viridian Therapeutics is focused on advancing its clinical programs for VRDN-001 and VRDN-002, with anticipated data readouts in the coming quarters. The company believes its current cash position is sufficient to fund operations into 2024.

Tailwinds

  • VRDN-002: The Company has completed dose escalation and expects to announce top line data from this Phase 1 trial in the third quarter of 2022.
  • The company believes a low-volume subcutaneous injection would improve convenience for patients and physicians, mitigate treatment burdens, and expand the settings of care for TED therapies.
