In 2015, Adaptimmune and Universal Cells signed an agreement to drive the development of technologies leveraging gene-edited Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC) lines, towards the development of allogeneic, or ‘off-the-shelf’, T-cell therapies.
Nedisertib is under clinicaldevelopment by Merck and currently in Phase I for Neuroendocrine Tumors. Merck also provides a wide range of products including lab water systems, geneediting tools, cell lines, antibodies and end-to-end systems. The company serves healthcare, performance materials, and life sciences markets.
Nedisertib is under clinicaldevelopment by Merck and currently in Phase I for Head And Neck Cancer Squamous Cell Carcinoma. Merck also provides a wide range of products including lab water systems, geneediting tools, cell lines, antibodies and end-to-end systems.
Clinical-stage genome editing company Intellia Therapeutics has received clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its Investigational New Drug (IND) application to start a pivotal phase III trial of NTLA-2001 for the treatment of transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy.
Bayer strengthens gene therapy portfolio with lipid nanoparticle technology from Acuitas Therapeutics Bayer AG is joining forces with Acuitas Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company specializing in the development of lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery systems for molecular therapeutics. Financial details were not disclosed.
Differences in regulatory sentiments and industry sponsors’ subsequent clinicaldevelopment strategies historically restricted access based on geography. Additional research is underway using geneediting via CRISPR, primarily investigating genes with known relationships to ALS, such as SOD1 and C9orf72.
“Our company and R&D portfolio are entering into an exciting phase, as evidenced by the recent close of Series B financing and submission of the first geneediting product IND in China,” said Dong Wei, Ph.D.?CEO He received his B.S. degree from Henan Normal University, M.S. degree from Chinese Academy of Sciences and Ph.D.
As a result, the company settled on four areas of focus – iPSC, allogenic CAR-T, genome mutations and geneediting. Each of the companies met strict criteria that includes assets in clinicaldevelopment, an industry-leading platform and in-house manufacturing capabilities. The platform is already bearing fruit.
As per the company, dbDNA is suitable for rapid, scalable manufacture of GMP DNA and can incorporate gene sequences of sizes ranging from 500bp to 20kb, which are typically unstable as pDNA. Rapid production will potentially enable researchers to overcome an industry bottleneck.
those that modify the expression of an individual’s genes or repair abnormal genes) has entered clinical practice, including 11 RNA therapeutics, 2 in vivo gene therapies, and 2 gene-modified cell therapies. Almost two decades after the human genome was sequenced, a trickle of new genetic medicines (i.e.,
EDIT-301 is an experimental, ex vivo geneediting cell medicine in development for the treatment of sickle cell disease. Previously, the Company received Rare Pediatric Disease designation from the FDA for EDIT-301.
VOR33 was created through Vor’s genome eHSC platform combined with multiple therapeutic modalities to create treatment-resistant transplants that can improve the potential of targeted cancer therapies through cell therapy and geneediting. REX-001 is an MCT product in clinicaldevelopment as patient-specific cellular immunotherapy.
ERS Genomics – Ireland’s ERS Genomics Limited, and Germany’s Vivlion GmbH, announced a non-exclusive license agreement granting Vivlion access to ERS Genomics’ CRISPR/Cas9 patent portfolio, to enhance Vivlion’s geneediting reagents and screening services. for its cGMP-compliant CHOSOURCE platform. in Mainland China.
To sum it, Chinook will manage clinicaldevelopment and commercialization of product candidates while Evotec will be eligible for an undisclosed upfront payment, research funding, progress-dependent milestone payments, and tiered royalties on net sales for targets identified through the collaboration.
According to the FDA, the purpose of Fast Track designation is to get important new drugs to patients earlier by facilitating the development, and expediting the review, of drugs to treat serious conditions and fill an unmet medical need. LogicBio is also developing a Next Generation Capsid platform for use in geneediting and gene therapies.
Bottlenecks in the manufacturing process, supply chain issues such as accessibility of good manufacturing practice (GMP)-grade reagents, and shortages of qualified scientists and engineers have caused many therapies to fail at critical stages of the clinicaldevelopment pipeline.
To complement the internal capabilities, Aruvant is partnering with world-leading contract development manufacturing organizations. The strategic long-term manufacturing agreement with Lonza is a critical step to advancing the clinicaldevelopment of ARU-1801 for sickle cell patients.
Jeff Vassallo, Senior Director of Clinical Trial Management, at the global clinical contract research organization (CRO) Medpace. These details must be thoughtfully considered early in clinicaldevelopment to ensure studies are completed within the projected timeline and budget,” added Dr. Vassallo.
Notably, we never modify the DNA of these cells, which avoids some of the safety concerns that have been reported with certain gene-editing technologies. From these cells we apply proprietary methods to manufacture pure populations of only the cell types which we wish to use in patients. Forward-Looking Statements.
