1/@LineageCell announced it entered an exclusive option & license agreement with $ERNA for the development of novel B2M deficient induced pluripotent #stem #cell #iPSC by using Eterna’s #GeneEditing technology thus developing therapies for #CNS diseases. #BioTech #CRISPR $LCTX Lineage Cell Therapeutics, ...
2/The new cell lines - to be developed by $ERNA, will support the creation of additional product candidates at $LCTX and specifically for the treatment of central #nervoussystem #CNS disorders & other #neurology targets via Eterna’s IP #CRISPR collaboration with @FactorBio The new cell lines to be de...
3/This agreement will also allow @LineageCell to enter the #CRISPR field and will provide $LCTX an option to obtain an exclusive license to utilize & sublicense $ERNA novel #GeneEditing cell lines for #preclinical, #clinical, & commercial purposes in the field of CNS diseases. This agreement will also al...
4/A feature of the starting #cell line is the targeted deletion of the B2M gene, which is designed to reduce the immunogenicity of product candidates derived from the lines by inhibiting rejection by CD8+ T cells. 4/A feature of the starting...
5/@LineageCell & $ERNA intend to initiate additional planned #GeneEditing platforms that may further differentiate the cell line from others currently in use by competitors. Financial terms of the collaboration between $LCTX & $ERNA were not disclosed.

1/@LineageCell presented promising data at the @FightBlindness Gene Therapy innovation summit - as part of #ARVO2024, from its clinical study of RG6501 (OpRegen) - a retinal pigment epithelial Cell therapy aimed to treat age-related macular degeneration dry AMD. $LCTX $RHHBY $XBI Lineage cell has presented promising data at the foundation fighting blindness Gene Therapy innovation summit - as part of ARVO2024, from its clinical study of RG6501 (OpRegen) - a retinal pigment epithelial Cell therapy aimed to treat age-related macular degeneration dry AMD
2/@LineageCell has developed a unique technology that enables it to transplant specific cell types from a single pluripotent cell line thus creating “off the shelf” cell transplants platform for multiple conditions. $LCTX most advanced program is its OpRegen ocular platform. $XBI Lineage cell has developed a unique technology that enables it to transplant specific cell types from a single pluripotent cell line thus creating “off the shelf” cell transplants platform for multiple conditions. Lineage’s most advanced program is its OpRegen ocular platform.
3/Dry AMD leads to the loss of retina cells thus creating an area of geographic atrophy-GA, which leads to impaired vision & blindness. By using a subretinal injection of RPE cells into the eye OpRegen will be able to preserve or improve a patient’s vision

1/@WaveLifeSci today announced the approval of its first clinical trial application (CTA) for its RestorAATion-2 clinical trial of $WVE-006, Wave’s first-in-class RNA editing oligonucleotide, which is being developed for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-AATD. $XBI Wave Life Sciences - a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on unlocking the broad potential of RNA medicines to transform human health, today announced the approval of its first clinical trial application (CTA) for its RestorAATion-2 clinical trial of WVE-006, the company’s first-in-class RNA editing oligonucleotide, which is being developed for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD).
2/WVE-006 is a first-in-class, GalNAc-conjugated RNA editing oligonucleotide aimed to correct the single base mutation in messenger RNA (mRNA) coded by the SERPINA1 Z allele, thereby enabling restoration and circulation of functional, wild-type alpha-1 antitrypsin (M-AAT) protein WVE-006 is a first-in-class, GalNAc-conjugated RNA editing oligonucleotide aimed to correct the single base mutation in messenger RNA (mRNA) coded by the SERPINA1 Z allele, thereby enabling restoration and circulation of functional, wild-type alpha-1 antitrypsin (M-AAT) protein
3/RestorAATion-2 is a Phase 1b/2a open label study designed to evaluate the safety & tolerability of WVE-006 in individuals with AATD who have the homozygous Pi*ZZ mutation. $WVE remains on track to deliver proof-of-mechanism data - restoration of M-AAT protein in serum, in 2024. RestorAATion-2 is a Phase 1b/2a open label study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacodynamics (PD) and pharmacokinetics (PK) of WVE-006 in individuals with AATD who have the homozygous Pi*ZZ mutation. The trial includes both single ascending dose (SAD) and multiple ascending dose (MAD) portions. The company remains on track to deliver proof-of-mechanism data, as measured by restoration of M-AAT protein in serum, in 2024.

1/@VerveTx announced that due to observed laboratory abnormalities associated with $VERV-101, it has decided to pause enrollment in its Heart-1 clinical trial. Verve is conducting an investigation & will work with regulatory authorities to define a path forward for VERVE-101 $XBI Verve therapeutics announced today that due to observed laboratory abnormalities associated with VERV-101, it has decided to pause enrollment in its Heart-1 clinical trial. Verve is conducting an investigation & will work with regulatory authorities to define a path forward for VERVE-101
2/VERVE-101 is being evaluated in the Heart-1 Phase 1b clinical trial with trial endpoints of safety and tolerability as well as changes in blood PCSK9 protein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in patients living with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and uncontrolled hypercholesterolemiaVERVE-101 is being evaluated in the Heart-1 Phase 1b clinical trial with trial endpoints of safety and tolerability as well as changes in blood PCSK9 protein and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in patients living with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), and uncontrolled hypercholesterolemia
3/6 participants have been dosed at 0.45 mg/kg of VERVE-101 from a total of 13 participants. For the first 5 in the 0.45 mg/kg cohort (with follow-up of >28 days) $VERV-101 demonstrated time-averaged LDL-C reductions ranging from 21% to 73%, & averaging 46% (cut-off date 3/18/24)
