CRISPR Therapeutics AG (CRSP)
Company Description
CRISPR Therapeutics AG, a gene editing company, focuses on developing gene-based medicines for serious human diseases using its Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) platform.
Its CRISPR/Cas9 is a gene editing technology that allows for precise directed changes to genomic DNA.
The company has a portfolio of therapeutic programs across a range of disease areas, including hemoglobinopathies, immune-oncology and autoimmune, in vivo, and type 1 diabetes.
The company's lead product candidate is CASGEVY, an ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited cell therapy for treating patients suffering from transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia, severe sickle cell disease, and hemoglobinopathies in which a patient's hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are edited to produce high levels of fetal hemoglobin in red blood cells.
It also develops CAR T cell therapies, including CTX112 targeting CD19 and CTX131 targeting CD70 for oncology and autoimmunune indications; CTX310 and CTX320, in vivo gene editing to address the cardiovascular disease by disrupting the validated targets angiopoietin-like protein 3 and lipoprotein; and VCTX211, an allogeneic, gene-edited, hypoimmune stem cell-derived product candidate for the treatment of T1D.
It has strategic partnerships with Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, ViaCyte, Inc., Nkarta, Inc., and Capsida Biotherapeutics.
