This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210909005318/en/
"Gene editing promises to fundamentally reshape the treatment landscape across numerous therapeutic categories. Today's in vivo gene editing R&D event showcases the power of our ARCUS genome editing platform – including key demonstrations of capabilities, such as gene insertion and mitochondrial DNA gene editing – which offers distinct advantages in this emerging field," commented Matt Kane, CEO and co-founder of Precision BioSciences. "We are excited to announce a new collaboration with iECURE which we expect to help us expedite clinical validation of the ARCUS platform for both gene knockout and gene insertion."
"Today, we are excited to share additional data highlighting the precision and versatility of our ARCUS platform, which is designed to enable safe, specific and efficient gene editing. Since ARCUS can be delivered via AAV or LNP, it has potential utility in treating diseases in the liver as well as many genetic diseases that affect tissues beyond the liver. In addition, the unique enzymology of ARCUS enables it to make complex gene insertion and gene repair edits more efficiently than other editing platforms," said Derek Jantz, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer and co-founder of Precision. "We believe these unique attributes of ARCUS support its differentiation for in vivo use and its potential to treat a broader range of genetic diseases than other editing technologies. We are very excited about our near-term pipeline and expect ARCUS to deliver on its full promise as we take on more challenging programs."
Precision expects that three of its preclinical programs will advance to investigational new drug (IND)/clinical trial application (CTA) in the next three years:
- As part of an agreement to expedite development, iECURE expects to advance Precision's PBGENE-PCSK9 candidate for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) through Phase 1 clinical studies with CTA filing expected as early as 2022.
- Precision has initiated IND-enabling activities and expects to submit an IND application for PBGENE-PH1 for primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) in 2023.
- Precision will pursue clinical development of its PBGENE-HBV candidate for chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) and expects to submit an IND/CTA in 2024.
Announced today in a separate release, Precision BioSciences has signed a license and collaboration agreement with iECURE, a mutation-agnostic in vivo gene editing company striving to cure devastating diseases with high unmet need, co-founded by James M. Wilson, M.D., Ph.D. Using Precision's PCSK9-directed ARCUS nuclease, iECURE plans to advance Precision's PBGENE-PCSK9 candidate into a Phase 1 study in FH and gain access to Precision's PCSK9-directed ARCUS nuclease to develop four other pre-specified gene insertion therapies for genetic diseases, focusing initially on liver diseases. Precision will retain rights to PBGENE-PCSK9, including for FH and all products developed for genetic indications except those licensed to iECURE. In return for its license grant, Precision will receive an equity stake in iECURE and is eligible to receive milestone and royalty payments on sales of iECURE products developed with ARCUS.
Presentations from Precision's in vivo Gene Editing R&D event will highlight the Company's clinical development strategy and updates on the following wholly-owned and partnered preclinical programs using ARCUS-mediated editing:
Featured Preclinical Data
- ARCUS for Gene Insertion into the PCSK9 locus: Due to the unique type of cut made by ARCUS nucleases, we believe ARCUS may be better suited for gene insertion than CRISPR-based gene editing tools. In non-human primates (NHPs), ARCUS was observed to be more efficient than CRISPR at inserting a Factor IX transgene into the PCSK9 locus. The Factor IX transgene is responsible for making the coagulation Factor IX protein associated with hemophilia B bleeding disorder.
"Research conducted by the Gene Therapy Program has shown ARCUS is capable of precise edits that can be applied broadly across genetic diseases in a mutation-dependent manner," said Dr. James M. Wilson. "Additionally, as reported today, ARCUS has demonstrated highly efficient gene insertion with a PCSK9-directed nuclease that will be foundational to iECURE in addressing rare genetic diseases, as well as long-term durability reflecting its curative potential with a single administration. Taken together, these findings continue to support what we have learned over years of collaborating with Precision: that the unique properties of ARCUS are differentiated versus other tools in this field."
- ARCUS for Chronic HBV (PBGENE-HBV): Current standard-of-care treatments for HBV suppress viral replication, but often do not clear the virus, leaving covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) and integrated HBV genomes that enable viral persistence. Precision's gene editing program for HBV applies ARCUS to knockout this persistent cccDNA and potentially further reduce viral persistence.
New preclinical data to be presented today, and data previously presented at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy Annual Meeting, show that ARCUS efficiently targeted and degraded HBV cccDNA in HBV-infected primary human hepatocytes and reduced expression of HBV S-antigen (HBsAg) by as much as 95%. Similar levels of HBsAg reduction were observed in a newly developed mouse model of HBV infection following administration of ARCUS mRNA using lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery. Precision will pursue clinical development of its PBGENE-HBV candidate using LNP delivery and expects to submit an IND in 2024.
- ARCUS for Mitochondrial Genome Editing: Mitochondrial diseases frequently are caused by pathogenic mutations in the mitochondrial genome that reduce the ability of mitochondria to convert food and oxygen into energy to sustain life and support organ function. Mitochondrial diseases affect approximately 1 in 5,000 individuals.
Recent preclinical studies used mitochondrial-targeted ARCUS (mitoARCUS) to selectively eliminate mutant mitochondrial genomes that cause disease in cell and animal models. In work conducted by Precision BioSciences, a hybrid cell model with a mixture of wild-type (healthy) and mutant mitochondrial genomes, a single treatment with mitoARCUS mRNA converted the cells to >99% wild-type. Work led by Carlos T. Moraes, Ph.D., Esther Lichtenstein Professor in Neurology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and in a mouse model of mitochondrial disease and published online in Nature Communications on May 28, 2021, found that mitoARCUS delivered by AAV effectively targeted and depleted mutant mitochondrial genomes in multiple tissues. No editing of potential nuclear off-target sites could be detected, and liver and skeletal muscle showed robust elimination of mutant mtDNA with concomitant restoration of markers of mitochondrial function.
- ARCUS for FH (PBGENE-PCSK9): Precision's gene editing program for FH seeks to knockout expression of the PCSK9 gene. As published by Wang et al. in Molecular Therapy in June 2021, "Long-term Stable Reduction of Low-density Lipoprotein in Nonhuman Primates Following In Vivo Genome Editing," PBGENE-PCSK9 is supported by extensive NHP data over a three-year period, which demonstrates a long-term, stable edit accompanied by up to an 82% reduction from baseline in PCSK9 levels and up to a 62% reduction in LDL levels.
Data will be presented on the clinical nuclease which is expected to be delivered by AAVrh79 in a Phase 1 clinical study to be conducted by iECURE.
- ARCUS for PH1 (PBGENE-PH1): Precision's gene editing program for PH1 applies ARCUS to knockout the well-characterized HAO1 gene to prevent the production of a toxic metabolite called oxalate that causes extremely severe and potentially fatal kidney stone accumulation in patients.
NHP data supporting this approach has shown, on average, a 98.0% reduction in HAO1 mRNA and a 97.9% reduction in the encoded protein after a single administration of an AAV vector encoding ARCUS. Compared to published results with siRNAs targeting HAO1, Precision's approach appeared to provide an improved metabolic profile with the potential for long-term benefit from a single dose. Precision has initiated IND-enabling activities and expects to submit an IND application for this program in 2023 using LNP delivery.
- ARCUS for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) (PBGENE-DMD): ARCUS genome editing has previously been shown to increase expression of a shortened version of dystrophin in cultured myoblasts from a DMD patient. The approach uses two ARCUS nucleases delivered by a single AAV to simultaneously cut and delete a large segment of the dystrophin gene that encodes exons 45 through 55 of dystrophin – a region of the gene that accounts for more than 50% of DMD-causing mutations.
In November 2020, Precision and Lilly announced an exclusive license agreement to utilize ARCUS genome editing for the research and development of up to six potential in vivo targets for genetic disorders. The collaboration initially included three gene targets, with the lead program targeting the dystrophin gene responsible for DMD (PBGENE-DMD). In addition, Precision will use ARCUS for one liver-directed target (PBGENE-LLY2) and one CNS-directed target (PBGENE-LLY3).
Dr. Jantz continued, "The versatility of our platform offers us the optionality to pursue numerous therapeutic applications through strategic partnerships, enabling us to capture more of the value of the ARCUS technology and accelerate key programs. For example, in addition to rapidly advancing PBGENE-PCSK9 to the clinic, iECURE will provide critical validation of ARCUS' gene-insertion capabilities. Lilly will help us research ARCUS-mediated editing in muscle and CNS. Even as we aggressively invest in wholly-owned programs, we will continue to leverage collaborations that enable us to explore novel applications of ARCUS and reach patients quicker."
The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents is approximately $167 million as of August 31, 2021. The Company continues to expect that existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund planned operations into 2023.

Precision Gains Access to Tiziana's Anti-CD3 Antibody, Foralumab, to Evaluate as a Lymphodepletion Agent with its Allogeneic CAR T Portfolio
Precision BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:DTIL), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic CAR T and in vivo gene correction therapies with its ARCUS® genome editing platform, and Tiziana Life Sciences plc (NASDAQ:TLSA), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on innovative therapeutics for oncology, inflammation, and infectious diseases, today announced an exclusive license agreement to explore Tiziana's foralumab, a fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb), as an agent to induce tolerance of allogeneic CAR T cells to potentially improve the clinical outcome of CAR T cell therapy.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20210901006026/en/
The Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 3 is a receptor on effector T cells and an anti-CD3 antibody, such as foralumab, has the potential to eliminate or tolerize patient effector T cells. Precision's manufacturing process, which uses ARCUS to knock out the TRAC gene and implements a CD3-depletion step, produces allogeneic CAR T candidates that are >99.9% CD3-negative. Thus, an anti-CD3 antibody, such as foralumab, might be used to enable the CAR T cells to expand, proliferate, and persist to maximize long term clinical benefits.
Under the terms of the agreement, Precision gains an exclusive license to use foralumab as a lymphodepletion agent in conjunction with its allogeneic CAR T therapeutics for the treatment of cancers. Precision will be responsible for the development, commercialization, and costs for use of foralumab, and Tiziana will receive upfront payment, certain milestone payments, and royalties for foralumab.
"We are building out an allogeneic CAR T platform with editing strategies and novel conditioning regimens, such as a lymphodepleting agent like foralumab, for a broad range of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors," said Alan List, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Precision BioSciences. "By combining Precision's know-how in constructing novel CAR T products with novel conditioning regimens, we will explore this approach to potentially improve durability of clinical responses to our therapeutic platform."
"We're pleased to offer Precision the exclusive opportunity to explore foralumab, our fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, for use as a potential lymphodepletion strategy with their allogeneic CAR T programs," said Kunwar Shailubhai, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of Tiziana Life Sciences. "While CAR T therapies have been clinically successful, relapse rates remain high, which continues to limit broad utility. We are impressed with Precision's novel approaches to CAR T development, offering the potential for a meaningful off-the-shelf solution. Further, given Precision's approach to manufacturing that produces CAR T cells virtually CD3-negative, we believe use of foralumab as a lymphodepletion or tolerizing agent has the potential, either alone or in combination with other co-stimulatory molecules, to improve the long-term success of CAR T in cancer treatment."
About Precision's Allogeneic CAR T Platform
Precision is advancing a pipeline of cell-phenotype optimized allogeneic CAR T therapies, leveraging fully scaled, proprietary manufacturing processes. The Company's allogeneic CAR T platform is designed to maximize the number of patients who can potentially benefit from CAR T therapy. Precision carefully selects high-quality T cells derived from healthy donors as starting material, then uses its ARCUS genome editing technology to modify the cells via a single-step engineering process. By inserting the CAR gene at the T cell receptor (TCR) locus, this process knocks in the CAR while knocking out the TCR, which is designed to create a consistent product that can be reliably and rapidly manufactured and is designed to prevent graft-versus-host disease. Precision optimizes its CAR T therapy candidates for immune cell expansion in the body by maintaining a high proportion of naïve and central memory CAR T cells throughout the manufacturing process and in the final product.
About Foralumab
Foralumab (TZLS-401, formerly NI-0401), the only entirely human anti-CD3 mAb, shows reduced release of cytokines as compared to other anti-CD3 mAbs after IV administration in patients with Crohn's disease with decreases in the classic side effects of cytokine release syndrome and improves the overall safety profile of Foralumab. In a humanized mouse model (NOD/SCID IL2γc-/-), it was shown that while targeting the T cell receptor, orally administered Foralumab modulates immune responses of the T cells, enhances regulatory T-cells (Tregs) and thus provides therapeutic benefit in treating inflammatory and autoimmune diseases without the occurrence of potential adverse events usually associated with parenteral mAb therapy (Ogura M. et al., 2017 Clin Immunol 183, 240-246). Based on animal studies, the nasal and oral administration of Foralumab offers the potential for the immunotherapy of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in a safe manner by the induction of Tregs.

DURHAM, N.C. and NEW YORK and LONDON, Sept. 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Precision BioSciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:DTIL), a clinical stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic CAR T and in vivo gene correction therapies with its ARCUS® genome editing platform, and Tiziana Life Sciences plc (NASDAQ:TLSA), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on innovative therapeutics for oncology, inflammation, and infectious diseases, today announced an exclusive license agreement to explore Tiziana's foralumab, a fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody (mAb), as an agent to induce tolerance of allogeneic CAR T cells to potentially improve the clinical outcome of CAR T cell therapy.
The Cluster of Differentiation (CD) 3 is a receptor on effector T cells and an anti-CD3 antibody, such as foralumab, has the potential to eliminate or tolerize patient effector T cells. Precision's manufacturing process, which uses ARCUS to knock out the TRAC gene and implements a CD3-depletion step, produces allogeneic CAR T candidates that are >99.9% CD3-negative. Thus, an anti-CD3 antibody, such as foralumab, might be used to enable the CAR T cells to expand, proliferate, and persist to maximize long term clinical benefits.
Under the terms of the agreement, Precision gains an exclusive license to use foralumab as a lymphodepletion agent in conjunction with its allogeneic CAR T therapeutics for the treatment of cancers. Precision will be responsible for the development, commercialization, and costs for use of foralumab, and Tiziana will receive upfront payment, certain milestone payments, and royalties for foralumab.
"We are building out an allogeneic CAR T platform with editing strategies and novel conditioning regimens, such as a lymphodepleting agent like foralumab, for a broad range of hematologic malignancies and solid tumors," said Alan List, M.D., Chief Medical Officer at Precision BioSciences. "By combining Precision's know-how in constructing novel CAR T products with novel conditioning regimens, we will explore this approach to potentially improve durability of clinical responses to our therapeutic platform."
"We're pleased to offer Precision the exclusive opportunity to explore foralumab, our fully human anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody, for use as a potential lymphodepletion strategy with their allogeneic CAR T programs," said Kunwar Shailubhai, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Scientific Officer of Tiziana Life Sciences. "While CAR T therapies have been clinically successful, relapse rates remain high, which continues to limit broad utility. We are impressed with Precision's novel approaches to CAR T development, offering the potential for a meaningful off-the-shelf solution. Further, given Precision's approach to manufacturing that produces CAR T cells virtually CD3-negative, we believe use of foralumab as a lymphodepletion or tolerizing agent has the potential, either alone or in combination with other co-stimulatory molecules, to improve the long-term success of CAR T in cancer treatment."
