Since the foundation of Freeline in 2015, the aim has been to advance curative gene therapy treatments for chronic systemic diseases which have not to date been treatable. An entrepreneurial spirit and a vision to challenge the standard of care to create better lives has been the driving force behind Freeline.

Gene Therapy
The evaluation demonstrated preclinical proof-of-concept of FLT190 for the treatment of Fabry disease. In vivo studies demonstrated several features of liver-directed gene transfer for Fabry disease that may have considerable therapeutic value, including α-Gal A over-expression that drives cellular uptake; stable long-term α-Gal A expression; normalization of Lyso-Gb3 storage material in plasma and key disease tissues; normalization of Gb3 storage material in plasma, heart, urine; and significant clearance of Gb3 storage material from kidney.

The study indicates the advantages of using a ∆pTP mutant adenovirus rather than adenovirus wild‐type as a helper virus for AAV2 production and also indicates that temperature shifts to lower temperatures may improve AAV2 vector production rates.

We examined the therapeutic efficacy of GLA gene therapy in Fabry mice using recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors, directed by the liver-specific promoter (FRE1). The data resulting from this study provides strong evidence that our liver-directed AAV-mediated gene therapy approach holds considerable therapeutic potential for the treatment of Fabry disease.
