Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 17, 2023, Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has reviewed and agreed to a protocol amendment to the Phase 1/2 study of GTX-102 in pediatric patients with Angelman syndrome that enables the Company to harmonize dose ranges in the U.S. with those being used in ex-U.S. cohorts of the study. The Phase 1/2, open-label, dose-escalating study is evaluating the safety and tolerability of GTX-102 in pediatric patients with Angelman syndrome with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of full maternal UBE3A gene deletion. The study is also looking at clinical response as measured by a panel of efficacy assessments for the functional domains impacted in Angelman syndrome. Patients in the earlier dose-escalation cohorts of the study have moved into long-term maintenance dosing, and the study is now enrolling the new expansion cohorts to verify the GTX-102 dose range and treatment regimen that will be used in the Phase 3 program. As of May 4, 2023, thirteen patients have had more than 12 months of exposure to GTX-102, with the longest more than 18 months.
