CRISPR Therapeutics AG
CRISPR Therapeutics AG, a gene editing company, focuses on developing gene-based medicines for serious human diseases using its Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) platform. The company's CRISPR/Cas9 is a revolutionary technology for gene editing which is the process of precisely altering specific sequences of genomic DNA. It has a portfolio of therapeutic programs across a range of disease areas, including hemoglobinopathies, CAR T cell therapies, in vivo, and type 1 diabetes, as well as develops investigational CAR T programs, including an autologous, gene-edited CAR T program targeting glypican-3 (GPC3) for the potential treatment of solid tumors. The company's lead product candidate is CASGEVY, an ex vivo CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited cell therapy for treating patients suffering from transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia, severe sickle cell disease (SCD), and hemoglobinopathies in which a patient's hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are edited to produce high levels of fetal hemoglobin in red blood cells. It also develops CAR T cell therapies, including CTX112 targeting cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19) and CTX131 targeting CD70 for oncology and autoimmune indications; CTX310 and CTX320, in vivo gene editing to address the cardiovascular disease by disrupting the validated targets angiopoietin-like protein 3 and lipoprotein; and CTX211, an allogeneic, gene-edited, hypoimmune stem cell-derived product candidate for the treatment of T1D. It has strategic partnerships with Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated, Nkarta, Inc., and Capsida Biotherapeutics. CRISPR Therapeutics AG was incorporated in 2013 and is headquartered in Zug, Switzerland.

The company's products pipeline include TNX-102 SL (cyclobenzaprine HCl sublingual tablet), for the management of fibromyalgia; and is being developed to prevent and treat acute stress reaction, posttraumatic stress disorder, Alzheimer's disease, alcohol use disorder, and multi-site pain associated with Long COVID. It also develops TNX-1300, a double-mutant cocaine esterase, which is in Phase 2 clinical trials for the treatment of cocaine intoxication; and TNX-1900, an intranasal potentiated oxytocin for the treatment of binge eating disorder, adolescent obesity, and bone health in pediatric autism, as well as for social anxiety disorder. In addition, the company develops TNX-1500, an Fc-modified humanized monoclonal antibody indicated to prevent organ transplant rejection, as well as to treat autoimmune conditions; TNX-1700, a recombinant Trefoil Factor Family 2 fusion protein for the treatment of gastric and colorectal cancers; TNX-801 that is in the pre-IND development stage for protection against smallpox and mpox; and TNX-1800, a live virus vaccine for SARS-CoV-2. Its rare disease portfolio consists of TNX-2900, an intranasal potentiated oxytocin to treat for Prader-Willi syndrome. The company has collaboration agreement with Bilthoven Biologicals to advance TNX-801 and Makana Therapeutics, Inc. to study TNX-1500 for human-compatible organs and cells for the treatment of organ failure. Tonix Pharmaceuticals Holding Corp. is headquartered in Chatham, New Jersey.
