The American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) defines cell therapy as a therapeutic modality that involves the administration of either normal or modified cells to patients for the treatment of various diseases. The major steps involved in cell therapy manufacturing have been briefly outlined below.
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.
Usually, only a single copy of the gene is required that too from the mother, however, in cases of AS, either the child does not get any copy, or the child receives two copies – each from mother and father. The present Angelman syndrome treatment market revolves around the management of symptoms rather than curing the condition. .
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.
