On April 11, 2022, Editas Medicine announced the successful administration of EDIT-101, an experimental CRISPR gene editing medicine, to the first pediatric patient in the BRILLIANCE clinical trial. This milestone marks the first in vivo delivery of a CRISPR gene therapy to a child, targeting Leber congenital amaurosis 10 (LCA10), a severe genetic eye disorder. The company is on track to complete dosing of the pediatric mid-dose cohort in H1 2022 and initiate high-dose dosing this year.
EDIT-101 has received FDA Rare Pediatric Disease and Orphan Drug designations, emphasizing its potential to address unmet medical needs.
Editas Medicine (Nasdaq: EDIT) announced significant preclinical data demonstrating enhanced anti-tumor activity of edited iNK cells. In combination with trastuzumab, these cells achieved complete tumor clearance in 6 out of 8 treated mice, showing increased persistence and 100% survival by day 144. The data, presented at the AACR conference, supports the potential of these cells as off-the-shelf immunotherapy for solid tumors. Mark S. Shearman, Ph.D., highlighted the promising characteristics of these engineered cells, reinforcing their capability in cancer treatment.
Editas Medicine (Nasdaq: EDIT) received a favorable decision from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office affirming the Broad Institute's patents on CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing in human cells. This ruling concludes the U.S. patent interference case with the University of California and others, confirming Broad as the first inventor of this critical technology. The patents, exclusively licensed to Editas, underpin the development of medicines for serious diseases, including their lead program, EDIT-101, aimed at treating LCA10.
Editas Medicine (Nasdaq: EDIT) announced key developments in its gene editing pipeline on February 24, 2022. The company is progressing in its BRILLIANCE trial for EDIT-101, aiming to complete pediatric cohort dosing by mid-2022. EDIT-301 is set to begin dosing sickle cell patients in the first half of 2022, while IND-enabling studies for EDIT-202 are advancing. Financial results show a reduced net loss of $41.4 million in Q4 2021, down from $62.5 million year-over-year, despite a decline in revenue from $90.7 million in 2020 to $25.5 million in 2021. Current cash reserves are $619.9 million, expected to sustain operations through 2023.

Editas Medicine has received FDA clearance for the IND of EDIT-301, a gene editing treatment aimed at individuals with transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT). This milestone allows for the initiation of a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in 2022, assessing the treatment's safety and preliminary efficacy. EDIT-301 employs CRISPR/Cas12a technology to enhance fetal hemoglobin production, potentially reducing the need for regular transfusions and improving patient outcomes. The company is also progressing with other clinical programs.
Editas Medicine, Inc. (Nasdaq: EDIT) has presented significant preclinical data demonstrating enhanced tumor-killing capabilities of engineered iNK cell therapies utilizing proprietary AsCas12a gene editing. At the 63rd ASH Annual Meeting, the company reported that double knock-in iNK cells showed a 50% tumor clearance in mice and improved persistence. Additionally, double knock-out strategies exhibited enhanced anti-tumor activity. These findings underscore the potential of Editas's SLEEK technology in developing effective off-the-shelf immunotherapies for solid tumors and highlight advancements in the EDIT-301 program aimed at treating transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.
