Editas Medicine announced a significant milestone in gene editing, achieving a 58% mean editing level in hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) after administering a single dose of its proprietary targeted lipid nanoparticle (tLNP) system in non-human primates. This surpasses the 25% threshold necessary for therapeutic benefit, providing a new approach for treating sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. The findings will be presented on June 14, 2025, at the European Hematology Association (EHA) 2025 Congress in Milan, Italy.
The study’s data indicate efficient delivery and favorable biodistribution with minimal liver targeting, validating Editas’ innovative in vivo gene editing strategy aimed at increasing fetal hemoglobin levels. The results demonstrate the potential for developing transformative therapies utilizing this technology in clinical settings.
