After more than two decades of successes and failures, the promise of cell and gene therapy to treat the root cause of many human diseases is now starting to redefine modern medicine. CRISPR genome engineering technology is at the forefront of transforming next-generation cell and gene therapies and personalized medicine.
Reengineered viruses and nonviral vectors, which are used to deliver therapies, have mitigated some of the adverse reactions experienced in earlier studies. Patients receiving these therapies are experiencing greater benefit with fewer adverse reactions (Figure 1).
A lot of this progress has been enabled by the precision genome editing tool CRISPR. “Saying CRISPR has revolutionized gene therapy is not hyperbole,” says Scott Burger, MD, principal for Advanced Cell and Gene Therapy, a consulting firm specializing in cell and gene therapy product development. “Most gene therapy has focused on gene replacement until recently. CRISPR allows one to potentially approach gene therapy from the standpoint of editing: correcting mutations that cause disease.”
In recent years, CRISPR has shown great potential for developing safer and more effective CAR T-cell therapies, sickle-cell disease treatment, as well as targeted therapies for other genetic and nongenetic diseases. CRISPR gene editing technology may solve problems that have plagued cell and gene therapy development since its inception, as well as issues that have sprouted during the recent cell and gene therapy boom. However, teaming with the right partner is important for ensuring successful process development and safe translation of therapies in the clinic.
