Casgevy, the commercial product formerly known as exa-cel, is administered by taking stem cells out of a patient’s bone marrow and editing a gene in the cells in a laboratory, with the modified cells then infused back into the patient after conditioning treatment to prepare the bone marrow. In June 2023, the U.S.
Moderna has entered a strategic research and development partnership with ElevateBio’s Life Edit Therapeutics to discover and develop new in-vivo mRNA geneeditingtherapies. Our novel editing systems have the potential to precisely modify gene targets for both in vivo and ex vivo therapeutic development.”
Verve Therapeutics and Eli Lilly and Company have entered an exclusive research partnership to advance the former’s preclinical stage in vivogeneediting programme targeting lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) to treat atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Topic sponsors are not involved in the creation of editorial content.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted an Orphan Drug Designation to Editas Medicine’s genetherapyEDIT-301 in sickle cell disease, based on an April 27 announcement. The US agency previously granted the Orphan Drug Designation to EDIT-301 for its study in beta thalassemia, in May 2022. g/dL and 45.4%
Formerly known as CTX001, exa-cel is an investigational, autologous, ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editedtherapy. Cell & GeneTherapy coverage on Pharmaceutical Technology is supported by Cytiva. The applications include requests for priority review.
Novartis has shouldered its way into the in vivogeneediting category via a deal with US biotech Precision BioSciences, focused on a therapy for sickle cell disease (SCD). The Swiss pharma group is paying $75 million upfronting cash and equity to get the ball rolling on the collaboration, with another $1.4
A gene-editing drug developed by CRISPR Therapeutics and Vertex Pharma has continued to show impressive results in clinical trial, with an update at the EHA congress showing long-term effects on the symptoms of both beta thalassaemia and sickle cell disease. billion product if it gets approved for both indications.
Vertex Pharma and partner CRISPR Therapeutics will start a rolling marketing application in the US for their gene-editing drug for sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta thalassaemia later this year. The time places exa-cel in pole position to become the first drug developed based on CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology to reach the market.
In this episode, Ayesha spoke with John Finn, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Tome Biosciences , a company developing programmable gene insertion (PGI) technology. PGI is a cutting-edge geneediting technology that allows for the insertion of large sequences of DNA with site-specific precision.
The messenger RNA (mRNA) specialist Moderna has teamed up with ElevateBio-owned Life Edit Therapeutics to develop geneeditingtherapies that are delivered into patients in vivo.
Vertex Pharma has ramped up its involvement in gene-editing medicines for the third time in a matter of months, agreeing a partnership with CRISPR specialist Arbor Biotechnologies that could be worth up to $1.2
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.
After spending almost an entire day deliberating the safety of Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ and CRISPR Therapeutics’ CRISPR-based genetherapy exa-cel for sickle cell disease, a US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) advisory panel appears to be satisfied with what it saw. CRISPR works as genetic scissors to edit parts of the genome.
Bayer has bolstered its cell and genetherapy platform by securing access to a CRISPR-based gene-editing platform developed by US biotech Mammoth Biosciences. CRISPR drugs can be used to modify the expression of disease-associated proteins in the body, for example, by correcting a mutation in a specific gene.
A gene-editing drug developed by CRISPR Therapeutics and Vertex Pharma has achieved “remarkable” improvements in patients with beta thalassaemia and sickle cell disease in an early-stage trial reported at the American Society of Haematology (ASH) annual meeting.
CRISPR GeneEditing Therapeutics CRISPR/Cas-9 technology makes lists like this almost every year, and for good reason. Given its ability to precisely editgenes, there is tremendous promise for the revolutionary technology to offer cures for genetic disorders and to treat various diseases.
The global genome editing market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 12.6% How is the genome editing market landscape evolving: Currently, there is an evident increase in demand for complex biological therapies (including regenerative medicine products), which has created an urgent need for robust genome editing techniques.
those that modify the expression of an individual’s genes or repair abnormal genes) has entered clinical practice, including 11 RNA therapeutics, 2 in vivogenetherapies, and 2 gene-modified cell therapies. Genetic literacy among clinicians may not be as high as you think.
Vittoria Biotherapeutics is a clinical-stage cell therapy company that incorporates the latest advancements in cell therapy and geneediting with a unique approach that potentially overcomes some of the issues with this therapeutic modality. Its therapeutic pipeline targets unmet needs in oncology and autoimmune disease.
“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 Prior to joining EdiGene, he was Vice President of KLUS Pharma and focused on cell therapy and new technologies.
According to a recent review published in Nature , as of April 2022 almost 1,800 active cell therapy clinical trials were listed in ClinicalTrials.gov, a 33 percent increase from 2021. The rapidly expanding landscape of cell therapy trials has put an operational strain on many clinical sites due to limited resources and infrastructure. “In
Genome editing is an exciting but still nascent field, and companies in the area face as many obstacles as they do opportunities. Maybe in 50 years’ time we’ll be using geneediting to lower cholesterol, but it won’t replace statins in anyone but those with life threatening mutations for a long time”. Zinc fingers.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the first genetherapies for the treatment of sickle cell disease, approving two on the same day. Both genetherapies are approved for individuals 12 years of age and older with sickle cell disease. It also affects Hispanic Americans, but at a lower prevalence.
of Children’s Hospital at TriStar Centennial in Nashville, Tennessee, and colleagues found that geneediting using CRISPR-Cas9 is safe and feasible and can provide clinical benefit to patients with sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent ß-thalassemia. In one study, Haydar Frangoul, M.D., Abstract No.
Bayer strengthens genetherapy portfolio with lipid nanoparticle technology from Acuitas Therapeutics Bayer AG is joining forces with Acuitas Therapeutics, Inc., “Accessing state-of-the-art LNP technology through this collaboration will add momentum to our geneediting efforts for the benefit of patients.”
In other areas of the industry (such as cell and genetic medicine development) progress continued at an impressively brisk pace despite the pandemic. Regarding OWS’s support for vaccine development, Dr Slaoui noted that 5 of the 6 vaccines selected (from a total of 94 programs) are currently in phase 3 development or approved.
