NEW YORK, April 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cellectis (the “Company”) (Euronext Growth: ALCLS - NASDAQ:  CLLS), a clinical-stage biotechnology company using its pioneering gene-editing platform to develop life-saving cell and gene therapies, will present first data exploring novel TALEN® editing processes in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) being held on May 7-11, 2024.

Key Points: 
  • “These two posters showcase the potential and versatility of the TALEN® technology to promote efficient gene insertion in HSPCs.
  • Cellectis has developed a TALEN® mediated promoter-less intron editing technology that enables the expression of a therapeutic transgene exclusively by monocyte derived from edited HSPCs.
  • This novel editing approach is an important addition to the HSPC gene editing toolbox that might unlock new strategies for the treatment of metabolic and neurological diseases.
  • Cellectis has developed and optimized a novel gene editing process, leveraging the TALEN® technology and circular single strand DNA template delivery, enabling highly efficient gene insertion in HSPCs.

The presentation also included data from preclinical studies which evaluated the combination of MN-166 (ibudilast) and anti-PD1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy in GBM models.

Key Points: 
  • The presentation also included data from preclinical studies which evaluated the combination of MN-166 (ibudilast) and anti-PD1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy in GBM models.
  • MN-166 (ibudilast) and TMZ combination treatment was safe and well-tolerated, and no unexpected adverse effects were reported.
  • We are eager to evaluate MN-166 (ibudilast) in combination with anti-PD1 and anti-PD-L1 therapies in a future clinical trial.
  • MediciNova is grateful to the patients and families for their invaluable participation in our trial.”

    Intronic editing enables lineage specific expression of therapeutics relevant for HSPC gene therapy.
  • TALEN®-mediated intron editing of the CD11b locus results in the lineage-specific expression of a reporter transgene in myeloid cells, with negligible expression in HSPC or other cellular subsets in vitro and in vivo.
  • We believe this intron editing approach could be disruptive in HSPC gene therapy and brain delivery of multiple therapeutics.
  • Using a combination of scRNA sequencing and multiple genomic read out methodologies, we demonstrate that the mutant HBB gene can be efficiently corrected in HSPCs by TALEN®-mediated gene editing coupled to non-viral gene delivery (ssODN) with a low risk of generating β-thalassemic RBCs.

InflaRx Announces Positive Topline Results from the Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Phase I Study with C5aR Inhibitor INF904

The main objectives were to assess safety and tolerability of single ascending doses under fasting conditions.

Key Points: 
  • The main objectives were to assess safety and tolerability of single ascending doses under fasting conditions.
  • We look forward to seeing the results from the MAD part of the study and advancing INF904 in development,” commented Renfeng Guo, M.D., Chief Scientific Officer and Founder of InflaRx.
  • Analysis of INF904 PK in subject plasma samples revealed sustained exposure to INF904 with six hours to maximum concentration (tmax).
  • INF904 plasma levels were dose proportional for systemic exposure (AUClast) and nearly dose proportional for maximum concentration (Cmax) over the dose range used in the study.
