As we advance in our mission of transforming treatment for patients with cardiovascular disease from chronic management to single-course gene editing medicines, we are working in a manner consistent with the ethical and scientific frameworks set forth by leading professional societies, regulators and biomedical ethicists.
All of Verve’s single-course gene editing medicines in development involve making edits in adult cells, which are not passed down to offspring. We do not and will not edit embryos, sperm cells or egg cells.
Safety is paramount at Verve. We adhere to rigorous safety protocols with the best available technologies for detecting potential off-target effects. Our team comprises world-leading experts in human genetics, gene editing, delivery technologies and drug development, and we expect our clinical development plans to proceed responsibly.
