BOSTON, Nov. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Verve Therapeutics, Inc., a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering a new approach to the care of cardiovascular disease with single-course gene editing medicines, today announced first human proof-of-concept data for in vivo base editing from the ongoing heart-1 phase 1b clinical trial of VERVE-101. Treatment with VERVE-101 led to dose-dependent reductions of disease-causing low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in people living with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH), a life-threatening inherited disease characterized by lifelong elevations in blood LDL-C and accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). VERVE-101 is an investigational, in vivo base editing medicine designed to be a single-course treatment that inactivates the PCSK9 gene in the liver to durably lower blood LDL-C.

Key Points: 
  • The data showed that VERVE-101 could meaningfully and durably lower LDL-C in these patients.
  • The trial is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VERVE-101, with additional analyses for pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic reductions in blood PCSK9 protein and LDL-C.
  • Initial safety data reported are from all ten patients enrolled as of a data cut-off date of October 16, 2023.
  • VERVE-102 is an in vivo base editing medicine that aims to inactivate the PCSK9 gene in a similar way to VERVE-101.

Physicians, Nurses and Other Health Professionals Urge EPA To Quickly Release Stronger Pollution Standards

Retrieved on: 
Wednesday, November 15, 2023

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the American Lung Association delivered letters to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) signed by more than 1,000 physicians, nurses, public health and other health professionals to strengthen, and then quickly finalize the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter air pollution. The standards, which were supposed to be finalized last month, are overdue and urgently needed.

Key Points: 
  • In January 2023, EPA proposed new NAAQS for fine PM, which are much weaker than what scientists recommended and the public want and need to protect their health.
  • That's why we need the strongest standards possible, to fully protect health," said Anne Mellinger-Birdsong, MD, MPH, FAAP, who signed the letter.
  • "As health professionals, we do our best to help reduce the health harms impacting the communities we serve, but we cannot control the air quality.
  • Strengthening both the 24-hour and annual standards is important for achieving health and equity benefits," said one of the letters.
