GENETIX has pioneered a curative therapy for hereditary blood disorders, currently in Phase I/II EU clinical trials. As published in Science and PNAS, LentiGlobin hemoglobin gene therapy has demonstrated 100% correction in animal models of sickle cell disease and thalassemia major, the two most prevalent human genetic disorders, with large orphan markets. GENETIX' proprietary LentiGlobin vector is based on ten years of research at Harvard and MIT. GENETIX holds exclusive patents for lentiviral gene transfer, a critical therapeutic gene, and the only gene regulator capable of high level gene expression. With encouraging preliminary clinical data, a clear path to commercialization, the potential to expand to additional high-value indications, an experienced team and committed US and European investors, GENETIX Pharmaceuticals is positioned to bring to market the first curative therapy for hereditary blood disorders.
