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.
