Tailwinds

  • Announcement of first patient dosing with EDIT-101 (AGN-151587) expected in 1Q20
  • Plan to file IND for EDIT-301 for sickle cell disease by end of 2020
  • Research collaboration with Sandhill Therapeutics accelerates IND-enabling studies for allogeneic healthy donor NK program to treat solid tumors in mid-2020
  • Advancing broader pipeline of in vivo CRISPR medicines
  • Progressing engineered cell medicines for hemoglobinopathies and cancers

Headwinds

  • Uncertainties inherent in the initiation and completion of pre-clinical studies and clinical trials
  • Availability and timing of results from pre-clinical studies and clinical trials
  • Whether interim results from a clinical trial will be predictive of the final results of the trial or the results of future trials
