Skyhawk Therapeutics announced on July 14, 2026 that it has received regulatory approvals to expand its Phase 2/3 FALCON-HD pivotal trial for SKY-0515 in Huntington's disease to the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The trial now includes over ten countries and more than twenty sites, with over 175 patients enrolled. SKY-0515's Phase 1/2 enrollment is complete, showing 69% reduction in mHTT, 26% reduction in PMS1, and cUHDRS improvements from baseline. The drug is an orally administered small molecule RNA splicing modifier designed to reduce mHTT and PMS1 proteins. Huntington's disease is a rare, fatal neurodegenerative disorder with no approved disease-modifying therapies. Skyhawk plans to advance additional therapies from its SKYSTAR platform into clinical development by end of 2027.
