(Nasdaq: EDIT), a clinical stage genome editing company, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Orphan Drug Designation to EDIT-301, an investigational, gene editing medicine, for the treatment of sickle cell disease. The FDA previously granted Orphan Drug Designation to EDIT-301 for the treatment of beta thalassemia and Rare Pediatric Disease designation to EDIT-301 for the treatment of beta thalassemia and sickle cell disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSickle cell disease is a devastating disease that leads to anemia, pain crises, organ failure, and early death. Receiving Orphan Drug Designation for EDIT-301 for sickle cell disease highlights the urgent need for new treatment options for patients and supports our belief that EDIT-301 can be a clinically differentiated, one-time, durable medicine that can provide life-changing clinical benefits to patients,\u201d Gilmore O\u2019Neill, M.B., M.M.Sc., President and Chief Executive Officer, Editas Medicine. \u201cI would like to thank the participants, their families, clinicians, and colleagues at collaborating institutions that contribute to the RUBY trial. We look forward to sharing further clinical updates and clinical data for the trial in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The FDA\u2019s Orphan Drug Designation program provides orphan status to drugs or biologics intended for the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of diseases that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Sponsors of medicines that are granted Orphan Drug Designation are entitled to certain incentives, including tax credits for qualified clinical trials, prescription drug user-fee exemptions, and potential seven-year marketing exclusivity upon FDA approval.<\/p>\n<p>EDIT-301 is currently being investigated in a clinical study in patients with severe sickle cell disease (RUBY trial, NCT04853576) and transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (EDITHAL trial, NCT#05444894). Editas Medicine will present clinical data updates from the RUBY trial twice this year, mid-year and again by year-end. Additionally, the Company is on-track to dose 20 patients in the RUBY trial by year-end.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Sickle Cell Disease<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder caused by a mutation in the beta-globin gene that leads to polymerization of the sickle hemoglobin (HbS). In sickle cell disease, the red blood cells are misshapen in a sickle shape instead of a typical disc shape. The abnormal shape causes the red blood cells to have shortened lifespan and to block blood flow causing anemia, pain crises, organ failure, and early death. There are an estimated 100,000 people in the United States currently living with sickle cell disease. Higher levels of fetal hemoglobin (HbF) inhibit HbS polymerization, thus reducing the manifestation of sickling.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About EDIT-301<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>EDIT-301 is an experimental cell therapy medicine under investigation for the treatment of severe sickle cell disease (SCD) and transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia (TDT). EDIT-301 consists of patient-derived CD34<sup>+<\/sup> hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells edited at the gamma globin gene (HBG1 and HBG2) promoters, where naturally occurring fetal hemoglobin (HbF) inducing mutations reside, by a highly specific and efficient proprietary engineered AsCas12a nuclease. Red blood cells derived from EDIT-301 CD34<sup>+<\/sup> cells demonstrate a sustained increase in fetal hemoglobin production, which has the potential to provide a one-time, durable treatment benefit for people living with severe SCD and TDT.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About RUBY<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>The RUBY trial is a single-arm, open-label, multi-center Phase 1\/2 study designed to assess the safety and efficacy of EDIT-301 in patients with severe sickle cell disease. Enrolled patients will receive a single administration of EDIT-301.
