    Recent popular reports from Yimaike ★ Sanofi has invested 1 billion US dollars on new targets, which is the best multiple myeloma track Yimai Meng broke the news ★ 2021 UCTD How does general cell medicine break through? Click on the picture to register now July 10, 2021/eMedClub News/--Recently, ASC Therapeutics announced that the US FDA has approved its research second-generation gene therapy ASC618 IND application for the treatment of severe or moderate A hemophilia
    .

    ASC618 is a gene therapy AAV, carrying the codon-optimized B-domain deleted Factor VIII gene and the minimum length of the liver-specific promoter can be endogenous production of factor VIII, thereby treating hemophilia A
    .

    Preclinical studies show, at significantly lower than other hemophilia A gene therapy dosages, ASC618 still able to produce a sufficient level of factor VIII
    .

    According to reports, ASC618 uses ASC's "high secretion" protein optimization strategy
    .

    When constructing the gene, special genetic modification was made and a series of optimizations were made to the unfold protein response (UPR), which greatly improved the secretion efficiency of intracellular therapeutic protein in the process of gene therapy.
    Only 1/10 of the traditional AAV vector can be used.
    The dose can reach the same therapeutic protein secretion
    .

    This strategy greatly reduces the dose level of AAV gene therapy, directly reduces hepatotoxic side effects caused by gene therapy, and improves the safety of gene therapy
    .

    Dr.
    Jiang Ruhong, founder and CEO of ASC Therapeutics, said: "The FDA's IND approval of ASC618 is an important recognition of our discovery, preclinical, analytical, clinical, regulatory, quality, manufacturing and overall capabilities
    .

    This milestone marks us.
    Transition to a clinical stage gene and cell therapy biopharmaceutical company
    .

    "ASC Therapeutics ASC Therapeutics was established in 2008 and is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, with strategic deployments in the United States and China
    .

    Since its establishment in 2008, ASC Therapeutics has received tens of millions of US dollars in Series A and Series B financing from several internationally renowned bio venture capital institutions during its development.
    "Biotechnology (Nature Biotechnology)" was named "Global Top 10 Companies Leading the Application Technology of Precision Gene Editing"
    .

    ASC owns TARGATT™, TARGATT™-Alt and CRISPR technology platforms, and has developed a variety of cell and gene therapies for blood diseases based on these technology platforms
    .

    ▲ ASC Therapeutics’ R&D pipeline (picture source: company’s official website) ASC’s fastest-growing product pipeline is ASC-930, an allogeneic ecdysis for the treatment of steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGvHD) Membrane stromal cells (DSC) are currently in phase 2 clinical studies
    .

    ASC's core products also include ASC-518, a gene editing therapy for children and all ages of hemophilia
    .

    ASC-518 can overcome the limitations of traditional AAV gene therapy (persistence problems caused by cell division/loss).
    ASC-518 can directly edit the DNA in the nucleus and permanently retain it in the patient's body
    .

    ASC Therapeutics expects to advance ASC-518 into clinical trials in the second quarter of 2022
