Recent press releases and 8-K filings for EDIT.
- Editas Medicine is advancing a CRISPR editing strategy focused on upregulating proteins, with its lead program targeting LDLR for hypercholesterolemia.
- Preclinical data for the LDLR program showed a 90% reduction in LDL cholesterol in non-human primates with 10%-40% allelic editing, and durability was observed in murine models.
- The company aims to file an IND or CTA in mid-2026 and achieve human Proof of Concept by the end of 2026, initially focusing on heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia patients.
- Editas Medicine's cash runway extends to Q3 2027, supporting the program through these initial clinical milestones.
- Editas Medicine is focusing its CRISPR editing efforts on upregulating the LDLR protein to treat hypercholesterolemia, aiming to deliver high-potency, low-cost therapies.
- Preclinical studies in non-human primates demonstrated a 6x increase in the LDL receptor and an unprecedented 90% reduction in LDL cholesterol, significantly surpassing the efficacy of current treatments like PCSK9s (60% reduction) and statins (40% reduction).
- The company anticipates filing an IND or CTA in mid-2026 and expects to achieve human proof-of-concept data by the end of 2026 for heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia patients.
- Editas Medicine's cash runway extends to Q3 2027, providing sufficient financial resources to advance the LDLR program through its initial clinical milestones.
- Editas is focusing on its LDLR program, a CRISPR editing therapy aimed at upregulating the LDL receptor to reduce low-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
- Preclinical data in non-human primates showed an at least 6x increase in LDL receptor, resulting in a 90% reduction in cholesterol, an unprecedented level of reduction.
- The company plans to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Clinical Trial Application (CTA) in mid-2026, with human proof-of-concept (POC) data expected by the end of 2026.
- The initial patient population for the first-in-human trials will be heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) patients.
- Editas's cash runway is projected to extend to Q3 2027, providing sufficient funding through these preliminary readouts.
- For the third quarter of 2025, Editas Medicine reported a net loss of $25.1 million ($0.28 per share) and collaboration and other research and development revenues of $7.5 million.
- The Company has extended its cash runway into the third quarter of 2027, partly due to $17.8 million in gross equity proceeds from its at-the-market (ATM) facility during Q3 2025.
- Preclinical data for its lead in vivo development candidate, EDIT-401, demonstrated over 90% LDL-C reduction in non-human primates.
- Editas Medicine is on track to submit an investigational new drug (IND) or clinical trial application (CTA) for EDIT-401 by mid-2026 and aims to achieve initial human proof-of-concept data by year-end 2026.
- The conference emphasized the coexistence and evolution of diverse gene editing technologies, with a focus on product profile and directing tools to their most effective applications.
- Delivery mechanisms are critical, with LNPs being a leading in vivo method, though requiring optimization. Non-viral approaches are highlighted for their potential to achieve lower cost of goods and enhance commercial viability.
- Companies reported strong clinical progress and commercial viability for one-time gene editing therapies, exemplified by Editas Medicine's EDIT-401 achieving a 90% reduction in LDL C and targeting human Proof-of-Concept by 2026.
- Several participants provided pipeline updates, including Yultech Therapeutics with 4-5 programs in the clinic and a Phase 3 program starting early next year (2026) , and Gen Edit Bio having dosed 4 patients in an IIT for TGFBI mutant corneal dystrophy with an FDA IND filing planned by year-end (2025).
- Editas is primarily focused on its EDIT-401 LDLR program, an in vivo gene editing therapy designed to achieve a 90% reduction in LDL-C.
- The company plans to file an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for EDIT-401 by mid-2026 and anticipates having human proof of concept data by the end of 2026.
- Editas emphasizes the differentiated efficacy of its upregulation strategy, which has shown a six-fold increase in LDL receptor levels in nonhuman primates, leading to a 90% LDL-C reduction, surpassing the 40-60% reduction seen with current standard-of-care treatments.
- The company has a cash runway that extends into Q2 2027, which is expected to fund the IND/CTA filing, human proof of concept, and further development.
- The initial target market for EDIT-401 is expected to be refractory heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia patients, with potential for expansion into broader hypercholesterolemia populations as long-term safety is established.
- Editas is an in vivo gene editing company primarily focused on its EDIT-401 LDLR program, which aims to achieve a 90% reduction in LDLC.
- The company plans to file an IND or CTA by mid-2026 and expects to have human proof-of-concept data by the end of 2026 for the EDIT-401 program.
- The EDIT-401 program is designed as a single-dose, durable therapy with a potentially superior efficacy and safety profile compared to current standards of care, utilizing lipid nanoparticles for cost-effectiveness and scalability.
- Editas has cash into Q2 2027, which is sufficient to fund the IND/CTA filing and human proof-of-concept for EDIT-401 and beyond.
- The company is also working on selecting a third tissue target to expand its platform, while its hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) program is being optimized for future development.
- Editas Medicine, Inc. reported in vivo preclinical proof-of-concept data for EDIT-401, an experimental gene-editing therapy aimed at significantly reducing LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C).
- Preclinical studies demonstrated ≥90% mean LDL-C reduction in non-human primates within 48 hours of a single dose and in mouse models.
- The LDL-C reduction was maintained in mouse models in a three-month study, indicating a durable effect.
- The therapeutic strategy involves a CRISPR/Cas9 nuclease and dual gRNAs with LNP delivery to upregulate the LDL receptor (LDLR), resulting in a ≥6-fold mean increase in LDLR protein in the non-human primate liver.
- Editas Medicine reported in vivo preclinical proof-of-concept data for its experimental therapy, EDIT-401, at the 32nd Annual European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ESGCT) Congress on October 9, 2025.
- EDIT-401 is a potential one-time therapy designed to significantly reduce LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) through the upregulation of the LDL receptor (LDLR).
- Preclinical studies demonstrated robust efficacy, achieving ≥90% LDL-C reduction in non-human primates within 48 hours of a single dose, and a durable effect maintained in mouse models over a three-month study.
- Editas Medicine nominated EDIT-401 as its lead in vivo development candidate, an experimental gene editing medicine targeting hyperlipidemia.
- EDIT-401 achieved approximately 90% mean LDL cholesterol reduction with a single dose in non-human primate studies, significantly outperforming standard-of-care therapies.
