Capsida Biotherapeutics to Present Preclinical Data for Parkinson's Disease Associated with GBA Mutations Showing High Levels of GCase Enzyme Supplementation Following IV Administration

金曜日, 5月 10, 2024

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., May 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Capsida Biotherapeutics ("Capsida") today announced new preclinical data that demonstrate the potential of its next-generation intravenously (IV) administered gene therapy candidate, CAP-003, to safely and effectively treat Parkinson's disease (PD) associated with GBA mutations (PD-GBA). Collectively, the findings strongly support the best-in-class profile of CAP-003 and Capsida's plans to advance the therapy into clinical trials in the first half of 2025.

Key Points: 
  • Mutations in GBA, the gene expressing the GCase enzyme, are the most common genetic risk factor for PD.
  • Other treatments for PD-GBA have been limited by their inability to cross the blood-brain barrier and supplement GCase enzyme activity in sufficient quantities to impact the disease.
  • Capsida's wholly owned novel gene therapy offers the potential to supplement the GCase enzyme with a single IV infusion, enabling long-term disease modification and substantially slowing disease progression.
  • "Our novel wholly owned PD-GBA gene therapy demonstrates the potential to provide long-term significant decrease in disease progression safely with a single IV infusion," said Capsida CEO Peter Anastasiou.

Creyon Bio to Present Clinical Data on Rapid AI-Enabled Engineering of Oligonucleotide-Based Medicines at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 27th Annual Meeting

SAN DIEGO and RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., May 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Creyon Bio, Inc. ("Creyon"), a clinical stage drug development company that engineers Oligonucleotide-Based Medicines (OBMs) with industry-leading efficiency creating novel, best-in-class gene-centric medicines to treat rare and common diseases, today announced encouraging clinical data highlighting the use of its custom designed data set paired with artificial intelligence (AI) to rapidly engineer an investigational antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) therapy. Within one year of project initiation in partnership with The TNPO2 Foundation, Creyon developed a novel allele-selective Locked Nucleic Acid (LNA) treatment candidate for an ultra-rare and severe neurological disease caused by a single nucleotide variant in the Transportin-2 (TNPO2) receptor, and an investigator-initiated clinical trial received approval to dose a patient. Initial data from this trial demonstrate that the investigational treatment successfully reduced seizures, restored developmental milestones, and was well-tolerated over nine months. Creyon will share these results during an oral presentation at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 27th Annual Meeting in Baltimore on Friday, May 10, 2024, between 5:15-5:30 p.m. EDT in Room 307-308 of the Baltimore Convention Center.

Key Points: 
  • Initial data from this trial demonstrate that the investigational treatment successfully reduced seizures, restored developmental milestones, and was well-tolerated over nine months.
  • Creyon will share these results during an oral presentation at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 27th Annual Meeting in Baltimore on Friday, May 10, 2024, between 5:15-5:30 p.m. EDT in Room 307-308 of the Baltimore Convention Center.
  • “We developed predictive models that guide our molecular engineering from the outset and help mitigate potential safety concerns.
  • “Inflammatory reactions to oligonucleotide therapies have caused serious adverse reactions in other early clinical-stage therapies delivered directly to the central nervous system.

Capsida Biotherapeutics Presents New Preclinical Evidence Indicating Novel First-in-Class IV-Administered Gene Therapy Effectively Treats Genetic Epilepsy Due to STXBP1 Mutations

火曜日, 5月 7, 2024

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., May 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Capsida Biotherapeutics ("Capsida") today announced new preclinical data supporting the potential of Capsida's gene therapy candidate, CAP-002, to achieve levels of gene supplementation necessary to correct neurological phenotypes associated with genetic epilepsy due to syntaxin-binding protein 1 (STXBP1) mutations.

Key Points: 
  • Gene therapy for genetic epilepsy due to STXBP1 mutations has not been previously possible because earlier generation adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) or wild-type AAVs could not achieve the level of widespread neuronal transduction required to modify the disease.
  • CAP-002 is a first-in-class next-generation intravenous (IV)-administered gene therapy that achieves brain-wide neuronal expression while simultaneously detargeting the liver.
  • Capsida's wholly owned program is currently in IND-enabling studies and is expected to enter the clinic in the first half of 2025.
  • This level of gene expression raises neuronal STXBP1 protein to levels comparable to those that reversed disease phenotype in the mouse model.
