Gene-Editing shot aims to halt rare nerve disease in phase 3 trial

NCT ID NCT06672237

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests a single dose of NTLA-2001, a gene-editing therapy, in 60 adults with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (ATTRv-PN), a rare genetic disease that damages nerves. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the active treatment or a placebo infusion. The study measures changes in nerve function and quality of life over time to see if the therapy can slow or stop disease progression.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
nexiguran ziclumeran (NTLA-2001), a gene-editing therapy given as a single IV infusion
What this could lead to
If it works, this could be a one-time treatment that stops or slows nerve damage in people with this rare, inherited disease.
What could go wrong
This is still an early-phase 3 trial with only 60 participants. The placebo group means some won't get the real treatment. Long-term safety and effectiveness are not yet known.
