  • NTLA-2002 is a single-dose treatment designed to prevent potentially life-threatening swelling attacks in people with hereditary angioedema (HAE)
  • NTLA-2002 is Intellia’s secondin vivocandidate to enter late-stage clinical development from its modular gene editing platform

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.,Oct. 07, 2024(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --Intellia Therapeutics, Inc.(NASDAQ:NTLA), a leading clinical-stage gene editing company focused on revolutionizing medicine with CRISPR-based therapies, today announced the initiation of HAELO, a global, pivotal Phase 3 study of NTLA-2002 for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (HAE). NTLA-2002 is a wholly owned investigationalin vivoCRISPR-based gene editing therapy in development as a single-dose treatment for this potentially life-threatening disease. Patient screening is active following Intellia’s successful end-of-Phase 2 meeting and submission of an Investigational New Drug Application amendment to theU.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA).

“Initiation of the HAELO Phase 3 trial is a significant milestone for Intellia as we enter the final stage of clinical development for NTLA-2002 for people living with hereditary angioedema,” said Intellia President and Chief Executive OfficerJohn Leonard, M.D. “Data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study showed great promise that a single-dose treatment can lead to a complete response – no more attacks and no further treatment required. We are working urgently to bring forward NTLA-2002 to address the real-world needs of people suffering from this disease and, ultimately, believe it will bring significant value to patients, physicians and payors.”

HAELO is a global, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of NTLA-2002 in 60 adults with Type I or Type II HAE. Patients will be randomized 2:1 to receive a single 50 mg infusion of NTLA-2002 or placebo. Patients randomized to the placebo arm will be eligible for optional crossover to NTLA-2002 at week 28. The primary endpoint is the change in number of HAE attacks from week 5 through week 28.

Intellia is initiating the Phase 3 study based on positive safety and efficacy data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 study (NCT05120830) of NTLA-2002. Interim Phase 1 clinical data showed dramatic reductions in attack rate, as well as consistent, deep and durable reductions in kallikrein levels. Intellia previously announced positive toplines results from the Phase 2 portion of the study. The Company plans to present the detailed results at the 2024American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology(ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting, taking placeOctober 24– 28 inBoston, Massachusetts.

About NTLA-2002Based onNobel-prize winning CRISPR/Cas9 technology, NTLA-2002 has the potential to become the first one-time treatment for hereditary angioedema (HAE). NTLA-2002 is designed to prevent HAE attacks by inactivating thekallikrein B1(KLKB1) gene, which encodes for prekallikrein, the kallikrein precursor protein. NTLA-2002 has received five notable regulatory designations, including Orphan Drug and RMAT Designation by theU.S. Food and Drug Administration, the Innovation Passport by theU.K.Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), Priority Medicines (PRIME) Designation by theEuropean Medicines Agency, as well as Orphan Drug Designation by theEuropean Commission.

About Hereditary AngioedemaHereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, genetic disease characterized by severe, recurring and unpredictable inflammatory attacks in various organs and tissues of the body, which can be painful, debilitating and life-threatening. It is estimated that one in 50,000 people are affected by HAE. Although there is no known cure for HAE, there are preventative and on-demand treatment options to help manage the condition, including long- and short-term prophylaxis used to prevent swelling attacks. Current treatment options often include life-long therapies, which may require chronic intravenous (IV) or subcutaneous (SC) administration as often as twice per week or daily oral administration to ensure constant pathway suppression for disease control. Despite chronic administration, breakthrough attacks still occur. Kallikrein inhibition is a clinically validated strategy for the preventive treatment of HAE attacks.
