Prime Medicine to Highlight New Preclinical Data, Including In Vivo Data in Wilson’s Disease, at Upcoming Scientific Meetings
15 October 2024 - 11:00PM
Prime Medicine, Inc. (Nasdaq: PRME), a biotechnology company
committed to delivering a new class of differentiated one-time
curative genetic therapies, today announced the Company will
highlight advances from across its Prime Editing pipeline and
platform at the upcoming European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy
(ESGCT) 31st Annual Congress, being held October 22-25, 2024 in
Rome, and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases
(AASLD), being held November 15-19, 2024 in San Diego.
“At the ESGCT and AASLD meetings, we will present
new preclinical data from across our pipeline, including from our
efforts in liver disease,” said Jeremy Duffield, M.D., Ph.D., Chief
Scientific Officer of Prime Medicine. “We are particularly excited
to share in vivo data from our Wilson’s Disease program, as well as
from our universal liver-directed lipid nanoparticle (LNP)
platform. Together, these data reinforce our strategy of
prioritizing Wilson’s Disease – a large, genetically defined
condition for which there are no currently approved
disease-modifying treatments, and which we believe is uniquely
suited to a Prime Editing-based approach – and reinforce the
potential for our modular universal LNP to be used broadly across
current and future programs. We look forward to advancing our
Wilson’s Disease program into IND-enabling studies later this year
and, longer term, to potentially leveraging the modularity of our
platform to expand into numerous follow-on indications.”
Details of the presentations are as follows:

About Prime Medicine
Prime Medicine is a leading biotechnology company
dedicated to creating and delivering the next generation of gene
editing therapies to patients. The Company is deploying its
proprietary Prime Editing platform, a versatile, precise and
efficient gene editing technology, to develop a new class of
differentiated one-time curative genetic therapies. Designed to
make only the right edit at the right position within a gene while
minimizing unwanted DNA modifications, Prime Editors have the
potential to repair almost all types of genetic mutations and work
in many different tissues, organs and cell types. Taken together,
Prime Editing’s versatile gene editing capabilities could unlock
opportunities across thousands of potential indications.
Prime Medicine is currently progressing a
diversified portfolio of investigational therapeutic programs
organized around our core areas of focus: hematology, immunology
and oncology, liver and lung. Across each core area, Prime Medicine
is focused initially on a set of high value programs, each
targeting a disease with well-understood biology and a clearly
defined clinical development and regulatory path, and each expected
to provide the foundation for expansion into additional
opportunities. Over time, the Company intends to maximize Prime
Editing’s broad and versatile therapeutic potential, as well as the
modularity of the Prime Editing platform, to rapidly and
efficiently expand beyond the diseases in its current pipeline,
potentially including additional genetic diseases, immunological
diseases, cancers, infectious diseases, and targeting genetic risk
factors in common diseases, which collectively impact millions of
people. For more information, please visit
