Editas Shifts to In-Vivo Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell, Signs $238 Million Biobucks Pact
Oct 22, 2024, 12:22 PM
Editas Medicine has announced a significant strategic shift by halting the development of its ex-vivo treatment for sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta-thalassemia. The company will now focus on an in-vivo approach, which involves editing a patient's genes within the body using LNP delivery. This pivot is seen as a more scalable but riskier strategy. Editas aims to achieve proof-of-concept data and has signed a $238 million biobucks pact to support this new direction. The company is also seeking a partner for its more advanced ex-vivo sickle cell treatment, which has shown data equivalent to Casgevy and Lyfgenia.
