Capsida Receives FDA IND Clearance for Its IV-Administered Gene Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease Associated With GBA Mutations
Capsida Biotherapeutics (“Capsida”) today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Investigational New Drug (IND) application for CAP-003, its potential best-in-class intravenously (IV) administered gene therapy, to enter clinical trials for Parkinson’s disease associated with GBA mutations (PD-GBA). This is the second wholly owned clinical program developed by Capsida with a cleared IND. Both programs utilize a proprietary IV-delivered, blood brain barrier-crossing engineered capsid and proprietary cargo that is detargeted from off-target tissues, like liver and dorsal root ganglia (DRG). In addition, Capsida uses a proprietary manufacturing process and CAP-003 is manufactured in Capsida’s state-of-the-art wholly owned Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility.

This is the first program entering a human clinical trial utilizing an IV-administered, blood brain barrier-crossing engineered capsid that also is detargeted from off-target tissues, like liver and dorsal root ganglia (DRG). CAP-002 is enabled by one of Capsida’s proprietary engineered capsids and optimized cargo. In addition, Capsida uses a proprietary manufacturing process and CAP-002 is manufactured in Capsida’s state-of-the-art wholly owned Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facility.
