Verve starts trials of cholesterol drug in test of base editing technique

pharmaphorum

Verve Therapeutics has started dosing patients in a phase 1b trial of its in vivo gene-editing drug for high cholesterol, designed to permanently switch off the PCSK9 gene with a one-shot treatment. Other CRISPR-based therapies generate a DSB at a precise location, after which cellular processes carry out the editing function.

Beyond the Pill: The Rise of Biologics and the Evolution of Pharmaceutical Therapies

Cloudbyz

Unlike traditional small molecule drugs, which are chemically synthesized, biologics are produced through complex biotechnological processes, often involving recombinant DNA technology. This allows for the creation of highly specific and targeted therapies that can modulate biological pathways with remarkable precision.
