CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Intergalactic Therapeutics, a company focused on transforming medicine through non-viral gene therapy, announced today positive preclinical results from its lead program IG-002 addressing all forms of ABCA4-related retinopathies. The data demonstrate for the first time that a single subretinal administration of a DNA payload encoding the human ABCA4 gene resulted in durable (12-month) expression of human ABCA4 protein in adult porcine retinas. The expression levels achieved are believed to be sufficient to result in therapeutic benefit in individuals living with ABCA4-related retinopathies. Based on the encouraging results, the company plans to advance its IND-enabling studies and future clinical development.
