Intellia Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NTLA) has initiated HAELO, a global Phase 3 study of NTLA-2002, an investigational in vivo CRISPR gene editing treatment for hereditary angioedema (HAE). NTLA-2002 is designed as a single-dose treatment to prevent potentially life-threatening swelling attacks in HAE patients. The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of NTLA-2002 in 60 adults with Type I or Type II HAE, with patients randomized 2:1 to receive a single 50 mg infusion of NTLA-2002 or placebo.

The primary endpoint is the change in number of HAE attacks from week 5 through week 28. This initiation follows positive safety and efficacy data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study, which showed dramatic reductions in attack rate and consistent, deep, and durable reductions in kallikrein levels. Detailed results from the Phase 2 portion will be presented at the 2024 ACAAI Annual Scientific Meeting in October.

Intellia Therapeutics (NASDAQ:NTLA) ha avviato HAELO, uno studio globale di fase 3 su NTLA-2002, un trattamento sperimentale di editing genomico CRISPR in vivo per l'angioedema ereditario (HAE). NTLA-2002 è progettato come un trattamento a dose singola per prevenire attacchi di gonfiore potenzialmente fatali nei pazienti affetti da HAE. Lo studio valuterà l'efficacia e la sicurezza di NTLA-2002 in 60 adulti con HAE di Tipo I o Tipo II, con i pazienti randomizzati in un rapporto di 2:1 per ricevere un'infusione singola di 50 mg di NTLA-2002 o un placebo.

Il criterio primario è il cambiamento nel numero di attacchi di HAE dalla quinta alla ventottesima settimana. Questa iniziativa segue dati positivi di sicurezza ed efficacia dal corrente studio di fase 1/2, che ha mostrato riduzioni drammatiche nel tasso di attacchi e riduzioni costanti, profonde e durature nei livelli di callicreina. I risultati dettagliati della parte di fase 2 saranno presentati alla Riunione Scientifica Annuale ACAAI 2024 in ottobre.

인텔리아 테라퓨틱스(NASDAQ:NTLA)는 유전성 혈관 부종(HAE)에 대한 인체 내 CRISPR 유전자 편집 치료제인 NTLA-2002에 대한 글로벌 3상 연구인 HAELO를 시작했습니다. NTLA-2002는 HAE 환자에서 치명적인 부종 발작을 예방하기 위해 단일 투여 치료로 설계되었습니다. 이 연구는 I형 또는 II형 HAE를 가진 60명의 성인을 대상으로 NTLA-2002의 효능과 안전성을 평가하며, 환자들은 NTLA-2002 50mg 단일 주사 또는 위약을 투여받기 위해 2:1로 무작위 배정됩니다.

주요 목표는 5주째부터 28주째까지 HAE 발작 수의 변화입니다. 이 연구의 시작은 현재 진행 중인 1/2상 연구에서 안전성과 효능에 대한 긍정적인 데이터를 바탕으로 하며, 이 연구에서는 발작 발생률의 극적인 감소 및 카리클레인 수치의 일관되고 깊으며 지속적인 감소가 나타났습니다. 2상 부분의 자세한 결과는 2024년 10월에 열리는 ACAAI 연례 학술대회에서 발표될 예정입니다.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Oct. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTLA), a leading clinical-stage gene editing company focused on revolutionizing medicine with CRISPR-based therapies, today announced the initiation of HAELO, a global, pivotal Phase 3 study of NTLA-2002 for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE). NTLA-2002 is a wholly owned investigational in vivo CRISPR-based gene editing therapy in development as a single-dose treatment for this potentially life-threatening disease. Patient screening is active following Intellia’s successful end-of-Phase 2 meeting and submission of an Investigational New Drug Application amendment to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

“Initiation of the HAELO Phase 3 trial is a significant milestone for Intellia as we enter the final stage of clinical development for NTLA-2002 for people living with hereditary angioedema,” said Intellia President and Chief Executive Officer John Leonard, M.D. “Data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study showed great promise that a single-dose treatment can lead to a complete response – no more attacks and no further treatment required. We are working urgently to bring forward NTLA-2002 to address the real-world needs of people suffering from this disease and, ultimately, believe it will bring significant value to patients, physicians and payors.”

HAELO is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NTLA-2002 in 60 adults with Type I or Type II HAE. Patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive a single 50 mg infusion of NTLA-2002 or placebo. Patients randomized to the placebo arm will be eligible for optional crossover to NTLA-2002 at week 28. The primary endpoint is the change in number of HAE attacks from week 5 through week 28. 

Intellia is initiating the Phase 3 study based on positive safety and efficacy data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study (NCT05120830) of NTLA-2002. Interim Phase 1 clinical data showed dramatic reductions in attack rate, as well as consistent, deep and durable reductions in kallikrein levels. Intellia previously announced positive toplines results from the Phase 2 portion of the study. The Company plans to present the detailed results at the 2024 American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place October 24 – 28 in Boston, Massachusetts.

About NTLA-2002
Based on Nobel-prize winning CRISPR/Cas9 technology, NTLA-2002 has the potential to become the first one-time treatment for hereditary angioedema (HAE). NTLA-2002 is designed to prevent HAE attacks by inactivating the kallikrein B1 (KLKB1) gene, which encodes for prekallikrein, the kallikrein precursor protein. NTLA-2002 has received five notable regulatory designations, including Orphan Drug and RMAT Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Innovation Passport by the U.K. Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), Priority Medicines (PRIME) Designation by the European Medicines Agency, as well as Orphan Drug Designation by the European Commission.

About Hereditary Angioedema
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, genetic disease characterized by severe, recurring and unpredictable inflammatory attacks in various organs and tissues of the body, which can be painful, debilitating and life-threatening. It is estimated that one in 50,000 people are affected by HAE. Although there is no known cure for HAE, there are preventative and on-demand treatment options to help manage the condition, including long- and short-term prophylaxis used to prevent swelling attacks. Current treatment options often include life-long therapies, which may require chronic intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) administration as often as twice per week or daily oral administration to ensure constant pathway suppression for disease control. Despite chronic administration, breakthrough attacks still occur. Kallikrein inhibition is a clinically validated strategy for the preventive treatment of HAE attacks.
