A Visual Guide to Genome Editors

Codon

The treatment, now known as Casgevy, became the first CRISPR-based therapy to gain FDA approval, in 2023. The core of the CRISPR immune response is a guide RNA (gRNA) that binds to a CRISPR-associated (Cas) protein. Collectively, these repeat-protospacer regions are known as CRISPR arrays.

Regeneron’s Casirivimab and Imdevimab Antibody Cocktail for COVID-19 is First Combination Therapy to Receive FDA Emergency Use Authorization

The Pharma Data

The clinical evidence from Regeneron’s outpatient trial suggests that monoclonal antibodies such as casirivimab and imdevimab have the greatest benefit when given early after diagnosis and in patients who have not yet mounted their own immune response or who have high viral load.
