Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 15, 2025, Intellia Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release titled “Intellia Therapeutics Announces Positive Three-Year Data from Phase 1 Trial of Lonvoguran Ziclumeran (lonvo-z) in Patients with Hereditary Angioedema (HAE) at the European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Congress.” A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information under this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, is being furnished herewith and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
Item 8.01. Other Events.
On June 15, 2025, the Company announced positive new clinical data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial of lonvoguran ziclumeran (“lonvo-z,” also known as NTLA-2002) in patients with hereditary angioedema (“HAE”). Lonvo-z is an investigational in vivo CRISPR-based gene editing therapy in development as a one-time treatment for HAE. The Phase 1/2 trial is an open-label, two-part study evaluating the safety and activity of lonvo-z in patients with HAE.
In the Phase 1 portion of the study, a one-time dose of 25 mg (N=3), 50 mg (N=4) or 75 mg (N=3) of lonvo-z was administered via intravenous infusion and plasma kallikrein protein levels were measured along with HAE attacks. At the time of the latest assessment, patients were attack-free and treatment-free for a median of nearly 2 years. With up to three 3 years of follow-up as of the February 12, 2025 data cutoff, a single dose of lonvo-z led to a mean reduction in monthly HAE attack rate of 98% over the study period, compared to pre-treatment baseline. For all 10 patients, deep, dose-dependent and durable reductions in plasma kallikrein protein continue to be observed through the latest assessment.
Across all three dose levels, lonvo-z has been well-tolerated and continues to demonstrate a favorable safety profile consistent with earlier data presented at European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Congress in 2024. The most frequent adverse events during the study period were infusion-related reactions (“IRRs”). IRRs were mostly Grade 1 and resolved with all patients receiving the full dose. With up to 3 years of follow-up, no treatment-emergent serious adverse events were observed and no treatment-related adverse events were observed during the period following 28 days after dosing.
Intellia’s global Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled HAELO trial is ongoing to assess the safety, efficacy and quality of life of lonvo-z at the 50 mg dosage. The Company announced today the HAELO trial has successfully completed screening ahead of schedule, with over half of the patients being screened in the United States. The HAELO study is no longer recruiting and Intellia will provide an update on enrollment in the future. New and longer-term data from the Phase 2 portion of the ongoing Phase 1/2 study of lonvo-z is planned to be presented in the second half of 2025. The Company expects to report outcomes of the ongoing Phase 3 HAELO study in the first half of 2026. In addition, Intellia expects to submit a biologics license application in 2026 to support the Company’s plans for a U.S. launch, pending FDA approval, in 2027.
