The Significance of the MHRA Approval and Upcoming FDA Review of the First Gene Editing Treatment

Worldwide Clinical Trials

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.

Single-course in vivo base editing therapy proven to lower cholesterol

Drug Discovery World

FH is one of the most common genetic conditions, affecting around one in 300 people globally. It is caused by a single gene mutation that impairs the body’s ability to mediate LDL cholesterol. Since the mutation only affects a single gene, it makes it a prime candidate for genome editing treatments.

Intellia Gets FDA Clearance to Start First Ever Phase III Trial for an In Vivo CRISPR Drug

XTalks

Intellia said NTLA-2001 is the first investigational in vivo CRISPR-based gene editing therapy cleared to enter late-stage clinical development. As an in vivo therapy, it can edit genes inside the body rather than in cells extracted from patients. ATTR amyloidosis is a rare, progressive and fatal disease.

Researchers reverse the in vitro and in vivo effects of the mutation that causes Stormorken syndrome

Medical Xpress

They study gene variation and mutations that cause rare genetic diseases. A mutation is a permanent change in the genetic material. That was the case when Thilini Gamage was to carry out one of the studies in her doctoral work with Professor Eirik Frengen at the Institute of Clinical Medicine, University of Oslo.
