Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. reports operational highlights and financial results for the second quarter ended 30 June 2022. In vivo program update regarding HAE:
NTLA-2002 leverages Intellia’s proprietary in vivo LNP delivery technology to knock out the KLKB1gene in the liver with the potential to permanently reduce total plasma kallikrein protein and activity, a key mediator of HAE. This investigational approach aims to prevent attacks for people living with HAE by providing continuous reduction of plasma kallikrein activity, following a single dose, and to eliminate the significant treatment burden associated with currently available HAE therapies. NTLA-2002 is being evaluated in a Phase 1/2 study in adults with Type I or Type II HAE.
Intellia is progressing the single-ascending dose portion of its first-in-human study. The Company anticipates presenting interim data in the second half of 2022, including safety, kallikrein reduction and HAE attack rate data. These initial results are expected to characterize the emerging safety and activity profile of NTLA-2002 and potentially demonstrate the modularity of Intellia’s proprietary CRISPR-based, LNP platform.
