<br>**WALTHAM, Mass., March 2, 2026** – Dyne Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: DYN), a clinical-stage company focused on delivering functional improvement for people living with genetically driven neuromuscular diseases, today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 and recent business highlights.

"Dyne is entering a critical period of transformation as we advance programs from our clinically validated FORCE platform toward commercialization, with our first potential launch in DMD in less than 12 months, if Priority Review is granted and approval is received. The positive topline results we reported in December for z-rostudirsen further demonstrate the potential of the FORCE platform to safely and effectively deliver drug payloads broadly and deeply into targeted tissues, all with the goal of providing functional improvement to patients in urgent need of new therapies," said John Cox, president and chief executive officer of Dyne.

"In 2026, we are focused on disciplined execution across our two lead programs with the goal of delivering potential best-in-class therapies to patients as quickly as possible. We are actively preparing a submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval of z-rostudirsen, positioning us for a potential launch planned for the first quarter of next year. We have added seven new sites since September to the ACHIEVE trial of z-basivarsen in DM1, and we continue to accelerate patient screening and enrollment, which we believe will enable completion of enrollment in the second quarter. At the same time, we expect to initiate two field-defining Phase 3 trials in DMD and DM1, as we continue to advance and expand our differentiated pipeline based on the FORCE platform," concluded Mr. Cox.

**Zeleciment rostudirsen (z-rostudirsen, also known as DYNE-251) in DMD** 

<u>Positive topline results from Registrational Expansion Cohort (REC) of DELIVER trial</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•In December 2025, Dyne reported that the REC (n=32) met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant change from baseline in muscle content-adjusted

------

dystrophin expression to 5.46% of normal at six months (p<0.0001), a 7-fold change from baseline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Improvement relative to placebo was observed across all six prespecified topline functional endpoints. Two of these measures, Time to Rise (TTR) Velocity and 10-Meter Walk/Run (10MWR) Velocity, both improved relative to placebo at six months with a nominal p<0.05, even though the trial was not powered to demonstrate statistical significance in any of the functional measures.<sup>1</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Lung function, the loss of which is a leading cause of mortality in DMD, as measured by Forced Vital Capacity Percent Predicted (FVC%p), was preserved at 6 months compared to a decline in placebo.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•In addition, positive long-term results from the DELIVER trial showed sustained functional improvement across the same six endpoints out to 24 months, for participants treated with z-rostudirsen in the 10 mg/kg Q4W cohort of the multiple ascending dose (MAD) portion of the trial who were dose escalated to 20 mg/kg Q4W in the open-label extension period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Z-rostudirsen continued to demonstrate a favorable safety profile, <sup>2</sup>and most related treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were mild or moderate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•These results, along with additional long-term data showing the potential preservation of cardiopulmonary function, will be presented at the 2026 Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) Clinical & Scientific Conference being held March 8-11, 2026, in Orlando, FL, and virtually.

<u>Key milestones for z-rostudirsen</u> 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dyne plans to submit a Biologics License Application (BLA) for U.S. Accelerated Approval in Q2 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dyne remains on track to initiate a global confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial of z-rostudirsen in Q2 2026. Dyne has aligned with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the Phase 3 trial design and protocol.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dyne continues to expect a potential U.S. launch of z-rostudirsen in Q1 2027, assuming the FDA grants Priority Review and approval is received on the anticipated timeline.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dyne also continues to pursue approval pathways outside of the U.S. for z-rostudirsen in patients with DMD who are amenable to exon 51 skipping.

**Zeleciment basivarsen (z-basivarsen, also known as DYNE-101) in DM1**

<u>Key milestones for z-basivarsen</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dyne expects to complete enrollment of 60 participants in the ACHIEVE REC in Q2 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Data from this cohort are planned for Q1 2027 to support a potential BLA submission for U.S. Accelerated Approval in early Q3 2027.

oDyne intends to use data from the REC and from the already enrolled patients in the MAD and ongoing long-term extension portions of the ACHIEVE trial to support a potential submission for Accelerated Approval in the U.S.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dyne expects a potential U.S. launch of z-basivarsen in Q1 2028, assuming FDA grants Priority Review.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dyne remains on track to initiate a global confirmatory Phase 3 clinical trial of z-basivarsen in March 2026. Dyne has aligned with the FDA on the Phase 3 trial design and protocol.

oThe design of this Phase 3 trial will be presented at the 2026 MDA Clinical & Scientific Conference being held March 8-11, 2026, in Orlando, FL, and virtually.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dyne also continues to pursue approval pathways outside of the U.S. for z-basivarsen in DM1.

**Other Exons in DMD** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•Dyne is advancing four development candidates (DYNE-253, DYNE-245, DYNE-244 and DYNE-255) for the potential treatment of DMD amenable to skipping of exons 53, 45, 44, and 55, respectively, into IND-enabling studies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•These programs are designed to enable the production of near full-length dystrophin in patients with DMD amenable to skipping of exons 53, 45, 44, or 55 by utilizing the same FORCE<sup>TM</sup> platform (Fab, linker, and payload chemistry) as z-rostudirsen.

**Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results**

**Cash position:** Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2025. The Company continues to expect that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of December 31, 2025, will be sufficient to fund its operations into the first quarter of 2028.

**Research and development (R&D) expenses:** R&D expenses were $95.4 million and $81.8 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. R&D expenses were $398.3 million and $281.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**General and administrative (G&A) expenses:** G&A expenses were $20.7 million and $15.3 million for the quarters ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. G&A expenses were $69.9 million and $62.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

**Net loss:** Net loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2025 was $112.0 million, or $0.76 per basic and diluted share. This compares with a net loss of $89.5 million, or $0.88 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2024.
