Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to geneediting – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because these technologies involve literally cutting DNA at a specific point in the genome. Zinc fingers. That would just slow the whole field down.

Scribe Therapeutics, a start-up focusing on gene-editing using CRISPR/Cas9, has burst onto the biotech scene with a $415 million deal with Biogen. Further back in development are drugs that will be administered to editgenes within the body, but the first of these candidates are now in clinical trials.
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.
Formerly known as CTX001, exa-cel is an investigational, autologous, ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited therapy. The BLAs are supported by data obtained from the ongoing Phase III CLIMB-111 and CLIMB-121 trials, along with an ongoing long-term follow-up CLIMB-131 trial.
The trial, which is the first late-stage study of an in vivo CRISPR treatment in the U.S., will start by the end of 2023. Intellia's NTLA-2001 is a treatment candidate for transthyretin amyloidosis cardiomyopathy.
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.
The first ever clinical data with a CRISPR/Cas9 drug used to edit the genomes of cells within the body has yielded impressive results in patients with ATTR amyloidosis, a life-threatening rare disease. . Intellia and Regeneron’s phase 1 trial looked at patients who had nerve damage (polyneuropathy) as a result of the disease.
A single dose of a gene-editing drug being developed by Intellia Therapeutics almost eliminated attacks in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) in a clinical trial, pointing to the potential of CRISPR-based drugs delivered in vivo to treat diseases.
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. dosing of *first patient* with VERVE-101, an in vivo CRISPR base editing medicine. Today: we are announcing.
Gene therapy is a new therapeutic approach in which genes are used to treat or prevent diseases. It is a comprehensive term which encompasses a large variety of therapy products including viral and bacterial vectors, plasmid DNA, human geneediting technology, and patient-specific cellular gene therapy.
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 If approved, it could mount a challenge to bluebird bio’s gene therapy Zynteglo, which is already approved in Europe.
A lead product candidate of the company, GTP-506 is a single-dose geneediting therapy. The ARCUS nuclease vector (GTP-506A) targets geneediting in the PCSK9 gene locus that is well characterised, while the therapeutic donor vector (GTP-506D) introduces the OTC gene to provide the required genetic correction.
