Demonstrates modularity of Intellia’s in vivo
liver insertion technology to durably restore protein, compared to traditional gene therapy
Single-course administration of genome editing system provides potentially curative approach to AAT deficiency
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Dec. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTLA), is presenting the first demonstration of physiological protein levels of human alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) in non-human primates (NHPs) following a single administration. Compared to traditional adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy, Intellia’s targeted liver gene insertion technology has the ability to achieve therapeutic levels of protein expression, in a stable and durable manner, after a single course of treatment. The company is presenting these data today at the Alpha-1 Foundation’s 20
