Precision BioSciences (Nasdaq: DTIL) announced a late-breaking poster presentation at the 30th Annual International Congress of the World Muscle Society in Vienna, Austria. The presentation will showcase preclinical data for PBGENE-DMD, their gene editing therapy for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD).
The preclinical results demonstrated significant outcomes, including up to 85% dystrophin-positive cells in the gastrocnemius muscle and improved muscle function sustained through 9 months post-treatment. The therapy, designed to treat up to 60% of DMD patients with mutations between exons 45-55, showed increased dystrophin expression in multiple muscles and evidence of satellite stem cell editing.
The company remains on track to file an IND and/or CTA by the end of 2025, with initial clinical data expected in 2026.
Precision BioSciences (Nasdaq: DTIL) presented clinical data from its Phase 1 ELIMINATE-B trial of PBGENE-HBV for chronic Hepatitis B at the ICE-HBV Cure Symposium in Berlin. The company reported that PBGENE-HBV has demonstrated the first evidence of substantial HBsAg reductions through its novel therapeutic approach targeting cccDNA elimination and integrated HBV DNA inactivation.
The trial has shown that PBGENE-HBV has been well-tolerated and active across two dose levels (Cohorts 1 and 2) following multiple administrations. The company has initiated dosing in Cohort 3 and plans to provide additional data updates in 2025.
Precision BioSciences (Nasdaq: DTIL) has announced the issuance of U.S. Patent No. 12,410,418, strengthening its intellectual property portfolio for PBGENE-HBV, its lead in vivo gene editing program for chronic hepatitis B treatment. The patent, expiring in March 2042, covers composition claims for the ARCUS nuclease used in PBGENE-HBV.
The company has made progress in its Phase 1 ELIMINATE-B trial, initiating dosing in Cohort 3 during Q3 2025 while continuing safe repeat dosing in Cohort 2. The trial aims to determine optimal dosing and scheduling for achieving complete cures in chronic Hepatitis B patients. Additional patents for PBGENE-HBV were previously granted in Europe and Hong Kong earlier in 2025.
iECURE (DTIL) announced upcoming presentations of additional clinical trial data for ECUR-506, their gene insertion therapy for ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, at two major medical conferences in Kyoto, Japan. The presentations will expand on previously reported data from January 2025 showing a complete clinical response in the first treated infant in the OTC-HOPE study.
The data will be presented at the 6th International Symposium on UCDs (September 1-2) and the 15th International Congress of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (September 3-6). The ICIEM presentation will include initial findings from the first four patients enrolled in the trial, highlighting that the first participant completed the 24-week study without hyperammonemic events.
Precision BioSciences (Nasdaq: DTIL) reported Q2 2025 financial results and significant progress in its gene editing programs. The company announced positive Phase 1 ELIMINATE-B trial data for PBGENE-HBV, showing substantial antiviral activity with 47-69% reduction in HBsAg across Cohort 1 patients and durable effects in one patient after 7 months.
The company's PBGENE-DMD program for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy received FDA Rare Pediatric Disease and Orphan Drug Designations. Preclinical data showed up to 85% dystrophin-positive cells in muscle tissue.
Financially, Precision reported $84.8 million in cash and equivalents, extending runway to H2 2027 through cost reductions of approximately $25 million annually for 2026 and 2027. Q2 revenues were under $0.1 million, down from $49.9 million in Q2 2024, while R&D expenses decreased to $12.8 million from $17.2 million.
Precision BioSciences (Nasdaq: DTIL) announced positive Phase 1 results from Cohort 1 of ELIMINATE-B, testing PBGENE-HBV for chronic hepatitis B treatment. The trial's lowest dose (0.2 mg/kg) demonstrated safety and efficacy across all three patients, with HBsAg reductions ranging from 47-69%.
Key highlights include durable HBsAg reduction of ~50% in one patient persisting 7 months after initial dosing. The drug was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events or dose-limiting toxicities. Cohort 2 (0.4 mg/kg) is progressing with similar safety profile. The company has extended its cash runway to second half of 2027 through a $25 million annual cost reduction program.
