AKOUOS
AK-OTOF has generated promising preclinical data and has the potential for rapid clinical readout using
auditory brainstem response (ABR) as an objective, clinically accepted efficacy endpoint, potentially leading to
platform validation
Disciplined indication and target selection: suitability for locally delivered AAV, clearly defined mechanism of
action/promising in vivo data, potential for rapid clinical readout, and high unmet need / meaningful
addressable patient population
Developing internal CGMP manufacturing with capabilities to supply vector for clinical trials
