CRISPR Plummets After Gene Editing Trials Paused By FDA

CRISPR Therapeutics was preparing to treat patients using its gene editing tool later this year But the Biotech company is hitting a snag. Namely: The Food and Drug Administration. The FDA just put a hold on one of the first trials to test CRISPR gene-editing in humans. The trial had hoped to look at how gene-editing may affect patients with sickle cell disease. The trail was to be conducted by CRISPR Therapeutics in conjunction with Vertex Pharmaceuticals. It is on hold "pending the resolution of certain questions that will be provided by the FDA."
