To honor Rare Disease Week and Rare Disease Day 2025, our team created butterfly artwork to brighten a hospital’s walls as part of a project with the Foundation for Hospital Art. The butterfly symbolizes Dravet syndrome, a rare disease community we deeply support. With enthusiasm, we contributed, knowing that adding color and beauty to care environments can make a difference for patients and families. #RareDiseaseDay2025 #StokedAboutStoke
About us
Stoke Therapeutics (Nasdaq: STOK), is a biotechnology company dedicated to addressing the underlying cause of severe diseases. The company is pursuing an entirely new approach to treating severe diseases. We are initially focused on diseases of the central nervous system and the eye, with an emphasis on haploinsufficiencies, which are diseases caused by a loss of about half of the normal protein function. Rather than replace, repair or edit faulty genes, we aim to increase – or stoke – protein output from healthy genes to restore functional protein levels using our proprietary TANGO (Targeted Augmentation of Nuclear Gene Output) platform. In all, Stoke has identified ~6500 genes with a TANGO signature, representing broad potential for our approach to help people with severe diseases. The early results have been promising. Stoke’s first medicine in development, STK-001 has demonstrated positive Phase 1/2 results for the treatment of Dravet syndrome, a severe and progressive genetic epilepsy that is associated with a number of debilitating non-seizure comorbidities. Behind that, is STK-002, a potential treatment for autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), the most common inherited optic nerve disorder. Clinical studies of STK-002 are anticipated to start in 2024. The company is pursuing potential treatments for three additional neurodevelopmental disorders, including Syngap1 and Rett syndrome, in collaboration with Acadia Pharmaceuticals. Stoke is headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts with offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

We are passionate about making a meaningful impact for people who are living with rare diseases. As part of that, we support the EveryLife Foundation for Rare Diseases' efforts to urge the U.S. Congress to continue its support of research funding and public health resources for rare diseases. If this is something you are passionate about, please review the petition - which will be shared with all members of Congress on Rare Disease Day - Friday, February 28.

Today marks the start of Rare Disease Week 2025. We are proud to work together with advocates, clinicians, and families to raise awareness, educate and advocate for the needs of the rare disease community. While individual rare diseases impact small populations, together these diseases affect ~300 million people around the world. An estimated 70% of rare genetic diseases begin in childhood. At Stoke, we are focused on improving outcomes for patients with Dravet syndrome, a rare genetic epilepsy associated with refractory seizures and neurodevelopmental impairments. #RareDisease #RareDC2025

On this International Epilepsy Day, we honor the journey of the families we know and those we have yet to meet. We are proud to support today’s effort to raise awareness and gather stories from the community. It has been our privilege to invite families living with rare genetic epilepsies to our offices. Learning about their journey has taught us that epilepsy is about more than just seizures, and reminds us of the importance of our work to develop disease-modifying therapies that will make a real difference for patients. #MyEpilepsyJourney #EpilepsyDay
