(NASDAQ:NTLA), a leading clinical-stage gene editing company focused on revolutionizing medicine with CRISPR-based therapies, today announced positive Phase 2 data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study of NTLA-2002 in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE), with results continuing to indicate that NTLA-2002 has the potential to eliminate HAE attacks following a one-time infusion. NTLA-2002 is an investigational in vivo CRISPR-based gene editing therapy in development as a one-time treatment for HAE, a rare genetic condition that leads to potentially life-threatening swelling attacks. Results were published online today in The New England Journal of Medicine and will be presented on Saturday, October 26 at the 2024 American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) Scientific Meeting in Boston, Massachusetts. “These positive NTLA-2002 Phase 2 results underscore the tremendous potential of our in vivo CRISPR gene editing therapy to be a functional cure and redefine the treatment paradigm for HAE,” said Intellia President and Chief Executive Officer John Leonard, M.D. “The Phase 2 data demonstrated that a majority of patients in the 50 mg arm experienced a complete response — no attacks at all and no further treatment needed — after a one-time infusion of NTLA-2002 through the latest follow-up, consistent with the long-term Phase 1 data. We are highly encouraged by these results, which we believe sets NTLA-2002 apart from other prophylaxis treatments. What was previously an ...
