Free­line un­veils ear­ly ef­fi­ca­cy sig­nal for Gauch­er gene ther­a­py: #AS­GCT24

BAL­TI­MORE — Four pa­tients with Gauch­er dis­ease were able to stop their reg­u­lar treat­ments af­ter re­ceiv­ing a one-time in­fu­sion of a gene ther­a­py de­vel­oped by Free­line Ther­a­peu­tics.

The four pa­tients have main­tained or seen im­prove­ments in cer­tain bio­mark­ers of Gauch­er dis­ease fol­low­ing the gene ther­a­py, ac­cord­ing to new re­sults shared Thurs­day morn­ing by Free­line at the Amer­i­can So­ci­ety of Gene & Cell Ther­a­py an­nu­al meet­ing. None of the four have had to restart ei­ther en­zyme re­place­ment ther­a­py or sub­strate re­duc­tion ther­a­py, which are stan­dard treat­ments for the dis­ease.
