The announcement, which follows recent regulatory setbacks for some of Intellia’s peers, is a “big win” for the gene editing field, according to one analyst.
Scribe will receive $40 million upfront from Sanofi in a collaboration initially focused on developing an in vivogene editing treatment for sickle cell disease.
The gene editing company will focus on “in vivo” medicines, while seeking to license out or find a development partner for its clinical-stage treatment reni-cel.
The longtime partners believe that, by combining their technologies, they can create “in vivo” genetic medicines for nervous system and muscular disorders.
The study, of Intellia’s treatment for hereditary angioedema, is the second Phase 3 trial the biotech has begun testing its “in vivo” gene editing medicines.
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals has collaborated with Mammoth Biosciences to develop in vivo clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-based gene editing therapies.
Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – 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. billion in funding.
The biotech said it has dosed the first participant in a Phase 3 study of its in vivogene editing treatment. Elsewhere, the FDA imposed a hold on Atara and lifted another on Amylyx.
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.

The reductions matched the efficacy of current therapies for ATTR amyloidosis that require chronic dosing such as Alnylam’s Onpattro (patisiran) and Ionis/Akcea’s Tegsedi (inotersen) – both gene-silencing agents which can cost around $450,000 a year. — Eric Topol (@EricTopol) June 26, 2021.
Moderna has entered a strategic research and development partnership with ElevateBio’s Life Edit Therapeutics to discover and develop new in-vivo mRNA gene editing therapies. Our novel editing systems have the potential to precisely modify gene targets for both in vivo and ex vivo therapeutic development.”
The study results, while only from three participants, offer a glimpse at how one of the few in vivo CRISPR therapies in U.S. human testing is working.
Takeda has announced that it will be pivoting away from its discovery and preclinical programmes in adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapies. Takeda’s announcement underlines the risk associated with gene therapy R&D at the preclinical stage and the fact that many current AAV programs are unlikely to reach late-stage trials.
Avista Therapeutics, a University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC) spinout, has entered a collaboration with Roche for developing new AAV gene therapy vectors for eyes. Roche will use these new capsids to carry out preclinical, clinical and marketing activities for gene therapy programmes. Avista is entitled to receive $7.5m
A custom-made, one-dose gene therapy, Zynteglo is indicated for such patients who need red blood cells (RBCs) transfusions on a regular basis. An ex-vivo lentiviral vector (LVV) gene therapy, Zynteglo’s every dose is made by genetically modifying the bone marrow stem cells of the patient to produce functional beta-globin.
MT-302 is a TROP2-targeting in vivo chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) that has been designed to express in the myeloid compartment. The financing will help to fast-track the development of other in vivo programming candidates into clinical trials. “We Cell & Gene Therapy coverage on Pharmaceutical Technology is supported by Cytiva.
All the new GD2 CAR designs developed through the partnership will be validated via in vitro screens and in vivo murine models. All the new GD2 CAR designs developed through the partnership will be validated via in vitro screens and in vivo murine models. Topic sponsors are not involved in the creation of editorial content.
Avrobio has received orphan drug designation for its gene therapy, AVR-RD-05, from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPSII) or Hunter syndrome. The company noted that this gene therapy is the fourth one to receive orphan drug designation.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted an Orphan Drug Designation to Editas Medicine’s gene therapy EDIT-301 in sickle cell disease, based on an April 27 announcement. Cell & Gene Therapy coverage on Pharmaceutical Technology is supported by Cytiva. The first patient had a total haemoglobin level of 16.4 g/dL and 45.4%
By Luisa Sterkel & Joana Loureiro , Tenthpin Consultants The promise and potential of cell and gene therapies (CGT) has emerged in the recent past and currently over 1.500 CGT are registered for clinical trials holding great hope for the treatment of challenging and uncurable diseases.
Pharmaceutical companies Xcell Biosciences (Xcellbio) and aCGT Vector have partnered to expedite the development of cell and gene therapies. The two companies will aim to improve the manufacturing and analytic procedures used to develop personalised cell and gene therapies to treat cancer patients.
The FDA has cleared a clinical trial of an ex vivo prime editing candidate in patients with a rare disease, Prime Medicine announced Monday. The technique taps CRISPR technology to rewrite defective genes without breaking DNA double helix strands.
Achieve Safe & Targeted In Vivo Delivery of Payloads with Clarity in Regulations & Appropriate Models to Advance the Next Frontier of In Vivo Editing from Research to Clinic
have announced a strategic collaboration and option agreement for the use of Mammothâs CRISPR systems to develop in vivogene-editing therapies. Bayer AG and Mammoth Biosciences, Inc.,
Verve Therapeutics and Eli Lilly and Company have entered an exclusive research partnership to advance the former’s preclinical stage in vivogene editing programme targeting lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) to treat atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Blood concentrations of Lp(a) are determined almost entirely by inheritance.
Formerly known as CTX001, exa-cel is an investigational, autologous, ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited therapy. Cell & Gene Therapy coverage on Pharmaceutical Technology is supported by Cytiva. The applications include requests for priority review. It is being assessed for the treatment of SCD or TDT patients.
In the last three years alone, there have been over 633,000 patents filed and granted in the pharmaceutical industry, according to GlobalData’s report on Innovation in Pharmaceuticals: Gene splicing using nucleases. They are engineered to cut specific genomic targets in order to modify the expression of single genes and proteins.
EDIT-101 targets a disease-causing mutation in the CEP290 gene that causes degeneration in ocular photoreceptor cells, which are critical for normal vision.
A one-time gene therapy, Skysona leverages ex-vivo transduction with the Lenti-D lentiviral vector for adding the ABCD1 gene’s functional copies into the hematopoietic stem cells of the patient.
