Vertex Pharmaceuticals’ subsidiary ViaCyte is backing out of one of its collaborations with CRISPR Therapeutics on gene-edited stem cell therapies for diabetes.
CRISPR said Monday that ViaCyte has decided to opt-out of a co-development and co-commercialization agreement for CTX211, its beta cell replacement therapy “that is transplanted into patients in a device and intended to produce insulin in a glucose-dependent manner.” While CRISPR in February will wholly own the candidate again, ViaCyte will be paid a royalty on future sales.
