Today we reported our third quarter financial results and shared recent operational progress across our portfolio. A key highlight is receiving the FDA Commissioner’s National Priority Voucher (CNPV), designed to shorten the NDA review process of #Bitopertin in #ErythropoieticProtoporphyria (#EPP) to 1-2 months from NDA acceptance. Looking ahead, we’ll be presenting initial data from our Phase 2 RALLY-MF trial of DISC-0974 in patients with #Anemia of #Myelofibrosis at #ASH25, and data from recently completed multiple-dose cohorts of our Phase 1b study of DISC-0974 in patients with anemia of non-dialysis-dependent chronic #KidneyDisease at ASN #KidneyWk. We also initiated a Phase 1b study of DISC-3405 in #SickleCellDisease in October, and we’re progressing an ongoing Phase 2 study of DISC-3405 in #PolycythemiaVera.

We are excited to share the publication of new preclinical study with Boston Children's Hospital showing bitopertin’s potential to lower PPIX levels and prevent liver disease in #ErythropoieticProtoporphyria. Thank you to the team for advancing this important science. Read here: https://lnkd.in/e4CCbguW
Erythropoietic protoporphyria causes phototoxicity and can also involve the liver due to the accumulation of protoporphyrin IX in red blood cells. Mark D. Fleming & team now show bitopertin treatment reduces PPIX accumulation and mitigates liver disease in EPP models: https://lnkd.in/e4CCbguW

We are on track to submit an NDA for #Bitopertin in #ErythropoieticProtoporphyria under the accelerated approval pathway in October, supported by a successful pre-NDA meeting. We also initiated a Phase 2 study of DISC-3405 in #PolycythemiaVera, with initial data expected in 2026. Looking ahead, we anticipate data readouts for DISC-0974 in Q4 2025, including initial data from the Phase 2 study in patients with #Anemia of #Myelofibrosis and multiple dose data from the Phase 1b study in patients with anemia of non-dialysis-dependent chronic #KidneyDisease.

Disc is proud to announce our new campaign to raise awareness for Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (#EPP), including X-Linked Protoporphyria (#XLP), a rare, often underdiagnosed genetic disorder driven by the buildup of Protoporphyrin IX (#PPIX). This accumulation is not only responsible for the hallmark symptom of painful light sensitivity, but can also lead to progressive liver damage, affect bone health, and drive disease-related impact on quality of life, mental health, and emotional wellbeing. We built a site specifically for people living with EPP and their caregivers. It is here to help with: • Understanding EPP • Tips for managing symptoms • Resources to help build your care plan • Links to support networks and resources We also launched an HCP-focused site offering dedicated resources to support clinical practice, including: • Disease education on EPP • Guidance on diagnosis and testing • Information on long-term management We’re committed to deepening understanding of these conditions. Visit our site and explore what’s available: • Patients: PPIXiswhy.com • HCPs: PPIXiswhyhcp.com Additional resources: • Facebook: https://lnkd.in/e3N4xwn6 • Instagram: https://lnkd.in/e523CcTd #ErythropoieticProtoporphyria #XLinkedProtoporphyria #ProtoporphyrinIX #PPIXisWhy
