Nuevocor to Present Pre-clinical Data on its Gene Therapy Candidate for LMNA Dilated Cardiomyopathy at American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2022
2022-10-28
合作基因疗法细胞疗法AHA会议
SINGAPORE, Oct. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Nuevocor, a pre-clinical stage cardiac gene therapy company, announced today that it will present new preclinical data on its adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene therapy for LMNA dilated cardiomyopathy at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions meeting on 5 – 7 November, 2022. This follows its maiden presentation at the American Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ASGCT) meeting earlier this year.
Mutations in the LMNA gene, encoding lamin A/C, are thought to be the 2nd most frequent cause of familial dilated cardiomyopathy, affecting approximately 60,000 people in the US and EU alone. Being an autosomal dominant disease characterized by gain-of-function of the mutant lamin A/C protein, conventional gene replacement therapies would be ineffective for LMNA DCM. Nuevocor's unique strategy for treating LMNA DCM instead targets a disease modifier, using AAV to overexpress a transgene that disrupts the Linker of Nucleoskeleton and Cytoskeleton complex to suppress the pathology of LMNA mutations.
Details of the presentation are as follows:
Sunday, Nov 6, 2022
5 - 6pm, CT
Room: S102A
Session: HF.AOS.470 - Novel Therapeutics in Heart Failure
Title: AAV Gene Therapy to Treat Underlying Cardiac Biomechanical Defects in Lmna Dilated Cardiomyopathy Improves Lifespan and Preserves Ejection Fraction in Lmna DCM Mouse Model
Presenter: Hendrijke Werner, Principal Scientist, Nuevocor
