GeneVentiv Therapeutics Advances Hemophilia Gene Therapy Following Positive FDA Interaction
GeneVentiv Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company developing one-time gene therapies for rare and inherited diseases, announced that it has held a successful INTERACT meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its lead candidate, GENV-HEM — a novel gene therapy for Hemophilia A, with or without inhibitors to Factor VIII.
The meeting established alignment on IND-enabling studies and CMC strategy, marking an important regulatory milestone for the company.
“This positive and constructive meeting with the FDA represents a key regulatory milestone for GeneVentiv,” said Damon Race, Chief Executive Officer of GeneVentiv Therapeutics. “The Agency’s confirmation of our IND-enabling plan validates the rigor of our scientific and manufacturing approach and provides a clear path toward first-in-human studies.”
Dr. Paris Margaritis, Chief Scientific Officer, added that GENV-HEM has shown robust preclinical activity, with potential to meet unmet needs in patients through durable endogenous Factor Va expression.
Next Steps
GeneVentiv plans to continue engagement with the FDA as it progresses through IND-enabling studies, with a Pre-IND meeting and IND submission targeted for 2026.
