Pro­to­cols: Ed­i­tas gets a gene edit­ing col­lab­o­ra­tor; Reg­u­lus hus­tling up re­sponse to clin­i­cal hold; Sanofi drug OK’d

Gene edit­ing pi­o­neer Ed­i­tas has signed on with the ex­perts at the San Raf­faele Telethon In­sti­tute for Gene Ther­a­py (SR-TIGET) on a new al­liance to re­search and de­vel­op genome edit­ed hematopoi­et­ic stem cell and T cell ther­a­pies. They’ll fo­cus on rare dis­eases, with a spe­cial spot­light on blood and bone mar­row.

Be­dev­iled by a clin­i­cal hold, Reg­u­lus ex­ecs say they are now on track to an­swer­ing the FDA’s ques­tions so reg­u­la­tors can make up their minds be­fore the end of this year. “We are work­ing ex­pe­di­tious­ly to re­solve the is­sues out­lined in the let­ter and an­tic­i­pate a de­ci­sion from the FDA in the fourth quar­ter,” said Paul Grint, pres­i­dent and CEO of Reg­u­lus.
