Precision BioSciences

Precision BioSciences, Inc. is a publicly traded American clinical stage gene editing company headquartered in Durham, North Carolina.

[9][10] Precision entered into a partnership with Eli Lilly in November 2020 to use ARCUS editing for up to six in vivo targets connected to genetic disorders,[11] beginning with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

[12] In September 2021, Precision announced two more collaborations, with UK biotechnology company Tiziana Life Sciences to explore using foralumab to aid chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy,[13] and with Philadelphia-based iECURE to advance candidates into clinical trials and investigate how ARCUS can help treat liver diseases.

[3] That December, Precision announced its entry into an agreement with a syndicate of investors led by ACCELR8 to spin off its subsidiary, Elo Life Systems, and create an independent company focused on food and agriculture business.

[25][26] Precision is also developing PBCAR19B as an anti-CD19[26] stealth cell candidate that employs a single gene edit to knock down beta-2 microglobulin, for which a Phase 1 study began in June 2021.

[27][28] The company is also conducting a Phase 1/2a clinical trial evaluating PBCAR269A, its investigational allogeneic B-cell maturation antigen-targeted CAR T cell therapy, for the treatment of multiple myleloma.
