The gene therapies AMT-060 and AMT-061 both restored coagulation factor IX levels in a primate model of hemophilia B, but AMT-061 resulted in greater coagulation activity at the same dose, a new study reports. The study, “Enhanced Factor IX Activity Following Administration of AAV5-R338L “Padua” Factor IX…

Data from the first two patients treated with FLT180a, Freeline’s single-infusion gene therapy for patients with hemophilia B, showed a rise in levels of clotting factor IX to 40%, with levels remaining stable for over a year. Pratima Chowdary, principal investigator for the FLT180a program, presented the data…

uniQure has achieved its target patient enrollment goal ahead of schedule for its ongoing Phase 3 HOPE-B trial. The trial is assessing the safety and efficacy of AMT-061 (etranacogene dezaparvovec), the company’s investigational gene therapy for the treatment of patients with moderate and severe…

The ongoing Phase 1/2 Alta trial continues to show that a single infusion of SB-525, an investigational gene therapy, leads to stable and clinically relevant improvements in clotting factor VIII and marked reductions in the need for replacement therapy in patients with hemophilia A. This preliminary follow-up data…

Sigilon Therapeutics’ candidate cell therapy for hemophilia A, called SIG-001, delivers sustained production of factor VIII for over six months and corrects bleeding in a hemophilia A mouse model. These results were shared at the 2019 American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) Annual Meeting, in a…

A single infusion of AMT-061, an investigational gene therapy for hemophilia B, continues to maintain clinically significant increases in clotting factor IX (FIX) up to six months after its administration, as demonstrated in all three patients enrolled in uniQure…

Advate is an effective and well-tolerated treatment among patients with hemophilia A, according to an observational, long-term, Japanese study. The treatment showed better results when used as a preventive, rather than an on-demand, therapy. The findings were reported in an article titled “Inhibitor development, safety and efficacy of…

A single administration of AMT-061, an investigational gene therapy for people with severe and moderately severe hemophilia B, increased therapeutic levels of factor IX (FIX) in all patients enrolled in uniQure’s ongoing Phase 2b trial, the company announced. Ultimately, this trial’s purpose is to confirm the dose of AMT-061…

Cell therapy with endothelial progenitor cells and stem cells genetically engineered to produce a functional clotting factor VIII (FVIII) may provide a stable and long-term treatment for hemophilia A, a mouse study has found. The study shows that the transplant of cells…
