Verve Therapeutics said Monday that the clinical hold and
clearance of its Investigational New Drug application by the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration has been lifted, allowing it to
conduct a clinical trial in the U.S. evaluating VERVE-101 for the
treatment of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
VERVE-101 is an investigational, in vivo base editing medicine
designed to be a single-course treatment that inactivates the PCSK9
gene in the liver to durably lower blood low-density lipoprotein
cholesterol.
The biotechnology company said it submitted interim clinical
data from the dose-escalation portion of the ongoing heart-1 Phase
1b clinical trial and addressed the FDA's preclinical questions in
its response to the clinical hold.
The heart-1 trial is evaluating the safety, tolerability,
pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of VERVE-101 in
patients with HeFH, and is currently being conducted at sites in
the U.K. and New Zealand.
