What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director, Regulatory Labeling Development and Advertising & Promotional Review position at Stoke Therapeutics?
About Stoke:
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 levels. 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.
We recently announced landmark data that support the potential for STK-001 to be the first disease-modifying medicine for Dravet syndrome, a severe and progressive genetic epilepsy that is characterized by frequent, prolonged and refractory seizures, beginning within the first year of life. The disease is classified as a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy due to the developmental delays and cognitive impairment associated with the disease.
Stoke is also advancing STK-002, a potential treatment for autosomal dominant optic atrophy (ADOA), the most common inherited optic nerve disorder. Currently there are no approved treatments for ADOA. Clinical studies of STK-002 are anticipated to start in 2024. The company is pursuing potential new medicines for three additional neurodevelopmental disorders, including Syngap1 and Rett syndrome, in collaboration with Acadia Pharmaceuticals.
Position Purpose:

This position will report into the Sr. Vice President, Regulatory Affairs.

We embrace diversity within a unique culture that is defined by our values. Our employee-led Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Committee (DIB) underscores the importance of DIB to who we are and what we do.
