Scribe Therapeutics

Develops CRISPR-based genetic medicines using engineered Cas proteins for cardiometabolic diseases.

Scribe disclosed three preclinical cardiometabolic programs at ASGCT, running both epigenetic silencing and CasX editing in parallel.

PLATFORM PROFILE
Target class
Lipid-pathway genes: PCSK9 for LDL, LPA for Lp(a), and a triglyceride regulator. Targeted via either epigenetic silencing or CasX editing, in vivo, hepatocyte-directed.
Differentiator
Verve edits the DNA at PCSK9. Scribe's STX-1150 leaves DNA alone and silences the gene epigenetically via the ELXR platform, theoretically reversible. STX-1200 and STX-1400 are CasX edits at Lp(a) and triglycerides. Three shots on the cardiometabolic goal, two mechanisms.
Lead asset
STX-1150 (LDL, ELXR epigenetic silencer), preclinical, IND filing planned summer 2026
Pipeline depth
3 disclosed cardiometabolic: STX-1150 (LDL/ELXR), STX-1200 (Lp(a)/XE), STX-1400 (triglycerides/XE). Plus Lilly CNS collab and Sanofi cardiometabolic collab.
004Voyager Assessment
MACHINE-GENERATED

Scribe has been the quiet sibling in CRISPR cardiometabolics while Verve has taken all the press. ASGCT changed that. Three disclosed programs, two mechanisms, one tissue. STX-1150 is the epigenetic silencer headed to IND this summer, no permanent DNA edit. STX-1200 and STX-1400 are CasX edits at Lp(a) and triglycerides. Doudna's company is now running both the reversible and permanent versions of cardiometabolic gene control in parallel, with Lilly and Sanofi already paying for the platform. That's two thesis bets, not one.
