ProQR has announced the completion of an in-depth strategic review designed to deliver on our commitment to advance RNA therapies for diseases with high unmet need. We are also sharing additional analyses of the sepofarsen Illuminate trial.
ProQR will focus exclusively on the development of the Axiomer® RNA editing technology platform across multiple therapeutic areas. This comes following feedback from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) related to ProQR’s sepofarsen for Leber Congenital Amaurosis type 10 (LCA10).
2017 may become a very exciting year for Patricia Biasutto, sepofarsen captain. Her work, developing a novel RNA therapy for Leber congenital amaurosis 10, has progressed steadily. The team expects to start a first clinical trial this year.
There are currently around 160 people working at ProQR, but that wasn’t always the case. When Hee Lam Chan joined in 2013, she was only employee number six. As a result, she has seen the company grow and develop.
