Abstract

In July 2019, Victoria Gray became the first patient with sickle cell disease to receive a CRISPR-based cell therapy as a volunteer in the exa-cel clinical trial, sponsored by Vertex Pharmaceuticals and CRISPR Therapeutics. Barely four years later, the ensuing therapy, branded as Casgevy, received approval from regulatory agencies in Europe, the United States, and the Middle East, ushering in a new era of CRISPR-based medicines. During this period, scores of other clinical trials have been launched, including many actively recruiting patients across phase 1, phase 2, and phase 3 clinical trials around the world. In this brief Perspective, we collate the latest information on therapeutic clinical trials featuring CRISPR, base and prime editing, across a range of both invivo and ex vivo gene and cell therapies.
