목요일, 5월 9, 2024

LONDON, May 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  Freeline Therapeutics today announced new clinical data from its ongoing Phase 1/2 GALILEO-1 trial of FLT201, its adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy candidate for Gaucher disease, showing substantial reductions in glucosylsphinogsine (lyso-Gb1), one of the best predictors of clinical response, in patients with persistently high levels despite years of treatment with currently approved therapies, as well as early signs of clinical improvements in bone marrow burden and fatigue. FLT201 continues to demonstrate a favorable safety and tolerability profile. These data are being showcased in a late-breaking oral presentation at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 27th Annual Meeting taking place in Baltimore, Maryland.

Key Points: 
  • These data are being showcased in a late-breaking oral presentation at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) 27th Annual Meeting taking place in Baltimore, Maryland.
  • Reductions in lyso-Gb1 levels in the blood are highly correlated with substrate reduction in disease-affected tissues and positive clinical outcomes in Gaucher disease.
  • Currently approved treatments have made a significant difference for people with Gaucher disease, but there is not an existing cure.
  • Both the late-breaking oral presentation and the poster presentation are now available on the News & Events section of Freeline’s website.
