Global CRISPR and CAS Gene Market – Insights
CRISPR technology is a simple tool, which is used for gene editing. It is a powerful nucleic acid-targeting editing tools for genome, which allows researchers to easily alter DNA sequences and modify gene function. In this technology, protein Cas9 or CRISPR, which is an enzyme that acts as a pair of molecular scissors that is capable of cutting strands of DNA. It has many potential applications including correcting genetic defects, treating and preventing the spread of diseases, and improving crops. It is faster, cheaper, and more precise than previous techniques of editing DNA like ZFNs (Zinc Finger Nucleases) and TALENs (Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases). Researc

About the INO-4800 INNOVATE Phase 2/3 Clinical Trial
The lead Principal Investigator for INNOVATE is Dr. Pablo Tebas, Professor of Medicine at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The Phase 2 segment of the clinical trial is designed to evaluate safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of INO-4800 in a 2-dose regimen (1.0 mg or 2.0 mg), in a three-to-one randomization (in a planned total of 400 subjects) to receive either INO-4800 or placebo, to confirm the more appropriate dosing level for each of three age groups (18-50 years, 51-64 years and 65 years and older) for the subsequent Phase 3 efficacy evaluation. The company strives to ensure diversity in enrollment, targeting specific populations that are working or residing in environments with high risk of exposure to SARS-CoV-2, for whom exposure may be relatively prolonged or for whom personal protective equipment (PPE) may be inconsistently used, especially in confined settings.
