Intellia Therapeutics is a Cambridge, Massachusetts biotech that bet on a deceptively simple idea: what if the body could be edited once, and the disease could be fixed permanently?

More about Intellia Therapeutics
Founded in 2014 and publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker NTLA, Intellia develops in vivo CRISPR gene-editing therapies, designed as one-time IV infusions that travel to a target organ (typically the liver) and edit a specific gene directly inside the body. Most rare disease therapies have to be taken regularly for life, but a gene-edited treatment, in theory, can be administered once and continue to work indefinitely.
The company's biggest moment to date came on April 27, 2026, when Intellia reported positive Phase 3 results from the HAELO trial of lonvoguran ziclumeran (lonvo-z, formerly NTLA-2002) for hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare genetic disorder where patients suffer unpredictable swelling attacks that can close the airway.
Lonvo-z works by editing the KLKB1 gene in the liver to lower production of kallikrein and bradykinin, the proteins responsible for triggering HAE attacks. A single dose of lonvo-z reduced HAE attacks by 87% versus placebo over the 6-month evaluation period, and 62% of treated patients were both attack-free and therapy-free during that window compared to 11% of placebo patients.
The trial met its primary endpoint and all key secondary endpoints, and was the first Phase 3 readout for any in vivo gene-editing therapy in any disease. Intellia completed its BLA submission, and on September 8, 2026, the FDA accepted the application and granted it Priority Review with a target action date of March 10, 2027.

The FDA has also indicated it does not currently plan to hold an advisory committee meeting to discuss the application. If approved, lonvo-z would be the first in vivo CRISPR-based therapy approved anywhere in the world.
The company's other late-stage program has had a much more difficult arc. Nexiguran ziclumeran (nex-z, formerly NTLA-2001) is a one-time CRISPR therapy that edits the TTR gene in the liver to treat ATTR amyloidosis, a rare disease where misfolded TTR protein accumulates in the heart and nerves. Nex-z is being studied in MAGNITUDE for the cardiomyopathy form of the disease and MAGNITUDE-2 for the polyneuropathy form.
In late 2025, the FDA placed both trials on clinical hold after a Grade 4 liver adverse event in the cardiomyopathy study led to a participant's death on November 5, 2025. The FDA lifted the hold on MAGNITUDE-2 on January 27, 2026, with enhanced liver monitoring, and lifted the hold on MAGNITUDE for cardiomyopathy on March 2, 2026.
Earlier programs in Intellia's pipeline include in vivo CRISPR approaches to hemophilia B and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, alongside ex vivo edited cell therapies for autoimmune disease. The thesis remains as it was at founding. If a single gene change drives a disease, edit it once at the source and free the patient from a lifetime of repeated treatment.

Rare diseases Intellia Therapeutics works on
Each disease page lists every open trial, not only Intellia Therapeutics's, plus approved treatments.
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a fast-growing cancer of the bone marrow in which immature white blood cells called blasts crowd out normal blood cells, causing fatigue, infections and bleeding...
How common: The National Cancer Institute's SEER program estimates 22,720 new US cases and 11,500 deaths in 2026, about 1.1% of new cancers, and 83,311 people were living with AML in 2023
