[]Editas Medicine (Nasdaq: EDIT) reported Q2 2025 financial results and business updates. The company plans to select its first in vivo development candidate in September, targeting an IND filing by mid-2026 and human proof-of-concept by year-end 2026. Key highlights include the acceptance of first IND/CTA for CD19 HD Allo CAR T program with Bristol Myers Squibb and presentation of promising preclinical data at multiple scientific conferences.
Financial results show a net loss of $53.2 million ($0.63 per share), improved from $67.6 million loss in Q2 2024. The company maintains a strong cash position of $178.5 million, providing runway into Q2 2027. Research and development expenses decreased to $16.2 million from $54.2 million year-over-year, while restructuring charges were $26.1 million related to the discontinuation of the reni-cel program.
Editas Medicine (NASDAQ: EDIT) announced the acceptance of new preclinical data for presentation at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2025 Congress in Milan. The study, conducted in non-human primates, demonstrates promising results for their in vivo hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene editing program targeting sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia.
Key findings include high-efficiency HSC delivery, therapeutically relevant editing levels in the HBG1/2 promoter region exceeding 25% threshold with a single dose, and favorable biodistribution using Editas' targeted lipid nanoparticle (tLNP) technology. The data shows significant liver de-targeting compared to standard LNPs, supporting further development of their proprietary HSC-tLNP platform.
In non-human primates, a single intravenous dose achieved up to 47% HBG1/2 editing levels in HSCs. In humanized mice, the treatment reached 48% editing in long-term HSCs. Both results exceeded the 25% threshold required for therapeutic benefit.
The company's tLNP formulation showed improved liver de-targeting compared to standard LNPs, and utilizes proprietary AsCas12a technology for high-efficiency editing while minimizing off-target effects. The approach mimics naturally occurring mechanisms of hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (HPFH).
- ~70% maximal liver editing and >80% disease biomarker reduction in mouse models
- >50% target gene editing and >15-fold protein upregulation in cynomolgus monkey hepatocytes
Editas Medicine (NASDAQ: EDIT) announced that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has partially affirmed and partially vacated the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's (PTAB) previous decision regarding CRISPR/Cas9 patent interference. The case involves patents between the University of California, University of Vienna, and Emmanuelle Charpentier versus the Broad Institute.
