Announcement
Intellia Therapeutics, presented new data demonstrating for the first time the potential for redosing with an investigational, in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing therapy.
AI Summary
Intellia Therapeutics has revealed promising new data showing for the first time that redosing with an investigational, in vivo CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing therapy is possible. In their ongoing Phase 1 study of NTLA-2001, an experimental treatment for transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis, patients who initially received a lower dose were later given a follow-on 55 mg dose. This second dose resulted in a 90% median reduction in the serum TTR protein by day 28, and a cumulative 95% reduction from baseline, demonstrating an additive effect when the redose was administered. The 55 mg dose was generally well tolerated, with only one patient experiencing a mild infusion-related reaction. Although redosing is not planned for the current ATTR amyloidosis program, these findings highlight the potential of Intellia’s non-viral, lipid nanoparticle (LNP)-based delivery platform for future therapies where multiple doses could be beneficial.

Announcement
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced interim results from the ongoing Phase 2 COURAGE trial investigating novel combinations of semaglutide (GLP-1 receptor agonist) and trevogrumab (anti-GDF8/anti-myostatin) with or without garetosmab (anti-activin A) for the treatment of obesity.
AI Summary
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals recently announced interim results from its ongoing Phase 2 COURAGE trial focused on treating obesity. The study is testing innovative combinations of semaglutide—a GLP-1 receptor agonist—with trevogrumab, an antibody that blocks GDF8/anti-myostatin, with or without garetosmab, an anti-activin A agent. The trial found that about 35% of the weight loss from semaglutide alone is due to loss of lean mass. However, when semaglutide was combined with trevogrumab (with or without garetosmab), patients preserved much of their lean muscle while achieving greater fat loss.
These results indicate that combining semaglutide with muscle-preserving antibodies can improve the quality of weight loss by sparing crucial muscle mass and increasing fat loss. The full data set is expected later this year to help optimize dosing regimens in future trials.
