Editas Medicine announces preclinical success for EDIT401 with over 90 percent LDL cholesterol reduction in animal models
Editas Medicine Inc. has announced preclinical proof-of-concept data for its experimental therapy EDIT-401, which is designed to significantly reduce LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C). The results were presented at the 32nd Annual European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ESGCT) Congress. In preclinical studies involving non-human primates and mouse models, EDIT-401 achieved a mean reduction of at least 90% in LDL-C levels following a single dose, with effects maintained in mouse models over a three-month period. The therapy uses a CRISPR/Cas9-based approach to upregulate the LDL receptor (LDLR) by disrupting negative regulatory elements, leading to increased LDLR protein in the liver. The results were shared in an oral presentation by Editas Medicine's Chief Scientific Officer.
