同源药物将在即将举行的北京大学基因编辑和基因治疗计划会议上发表

BEDFORD, Mass., June 29, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Homology Medicines, Inc. (Nasdaq: FIXX), a genetic medicines company, announced today participation and presentations at the following conferences:

FASEB's The Genome Engineering Conference: Cutting-Edge Research and Applications on June 29, 2022 at 5:30 p.m. WET/12:30 p.m. ET in Lisbon, Portugal
Homology will deliver an oral presentation titled, "Molecular Characterization of In Vivo Editing in Human Hepatocytes and a PKU Mouse Model using rAAVHSCs," which confirms the precision of homologous recombination-based integration of HMI-103 nuclease-free gene editing candidate for phenylketonuria (PKU) using genome-wide assays.

2022 NPKUA Conference on July 7-10, 2022 in Vancouver, WA
Homology presentations include:

• "Gene Editing and Gene Therapy for PKU," during the panel session, "What's New in PKU? (Emerging Therapies, Research, Foods & Beyond)" on July 8 at 3:30 p.m. PT; and
• "Preclinical Data Supporting the First‐In‐Human Gene Editing Study For PKU, pheEDIT," during the poster session on July 9 at 3:00 p.m. PT.

Homology Medicines is conducting two clinical trials for adults with PKU. The pheEDIT trial is evaluating HMI-103, a one-time gene editing product candidate designed to integrate the PAH gene into the genome for a permanent correction. The pheNIX trial is evaluating HMI-102, a one-time gene therapy product candidate that is designed to deliver working copies of the PAH gene to liver cells.
