Verve achieved the first proof of concept for an in vivo base editing therapy, but investor concerns weighed on the company’s stock, clouding the readout’s reception. On the latest BioCentury This Week podcast, BioCentury’s editors dissect the data for VERVE-101 in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and discuss how the choice of initial target and indication for a new modality or technology can have a major impact on how POC data are perceived by investors. The editors also assess the latest developments related to the Inflation Reduction Act and assess a selection of biopharma deals and IPOs.
