Vivet Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing transformative and novel gene therapy treatments for rare, inherited metabolic diseases.
Vivet’s lead program is VTX-801, a novel investigational gene therapy being evaluated in the GATEWAY clinical trial, a Phase I/II clinical trial to determine the safety, viability, and pharmacological activity of a single intravenous infusion in adults with Wilson disease. Wilson disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding the ATP7B protein, which reduces the ability of the liver and other tissues to regulate copper levels, causing severe hepatic damage, neurologic symptoms and potentially death. VTX-801 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Commission (EC). It has also received Fast Track Designation by the FDA.
Vivet is building a diversified gene therapy pipeline based on novel rAAV (recombinant AAV) with five preclinical programs and new technologies addressing key challenges of AAV-based gene therapy related to the sustainability of expression in young patients and immunomodulation for potential retreatment. Vivet develops these technologies through its partnership with, and exclusive licenses from, the Fundación para la Investigación Médica Aplicada (FIMA), a not-for-profit foundation at the Centro de Investigación Medica Aplicada (CIMA), University of Navarra based in Pamplona, Spain.
