NTLA's Recent Pipeline Updates
Intellia has collaborated with Regeneron for the development of its investigational in vivo genome-editing candidate, Nexiguran ziclumeran (nex-z, also known as NTLA-2001), which is being studied for two indications, ATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (ATTRv-PN) and ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM).
Nex-z is part of the company’s co-development and co-promotion agreement with Regeneron. While NTLA is the lead party in the deal for nex-z, REGN shares 25% of the development costs and commercial profits.
The phase III MAGNITUDE study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of nex-z in patients with ATTR amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy. Enrollment is currently ongoing in the study.
The phase III MAGNITUDE 2 study is actively screening patients with hereditary ATTR amyloidosis with polyneuropathy, with the first patient expected to be dosed later in the first quarter of 2025. The FDA granted the Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy designation to nex-z for the treatment of ATTRv-PN in November 2024.
Intellia is developing another pipeline candidate, NTLA-2002, for the treatment of hereditary angioedema (“HAE”). The pivotal phase III HAELO study is actively enrolling patients evaluating NTLA-2002 for treating HAE. Intellia dosed the first patient in the HAELO study in January 2025. Enrollment in the same is likely to be completed in the second half of 2025.
The company plans to submit a potential biologics license application for NTLA-2002 in HAE in the second half of 2026.
As a part of the reorganization, Intellia decided to stop the development of its in vivo gene insertion candidate, NTLA-3001, for the treatment of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency associated lung disease.
Also, with the strategic reorganization, the company is looking to reduce its current workforce by almost 27% in 2025.
