In-vivo base and prime editing

In-vivo CRISPR base & prime editing. Genetic & blood disorders. Reviewed Jul 2026.

Single doses durably knock down target proteins in early trials, but the platform is young and long-term data do not exist.

Stage
Phase 1/2
Rung: In human trials. Phase 1 to 3. Being tested in people now. Most will not make it.
Evidence grade
C
early trials
Small or uncontrolled human data, or strong animal data. How grades work.

What it is

Editing genes directly inside the body via a single infusion (no cells removed), rewriting single DNA letters without cutting both strands.

The evidence

Intellia's in-vivo editor for hereditary ATTR amyloidosis and HAE shows durable target knockdown after one dose; a custom base-editing therapy saved an infant with a rare metabolic disease in 2025. Platform still young.

What you can do today

Outside a registered clinical trial, this is not something you can responsibly get. If it is relevant to you, the route is a trial: ask your specialist, or search a trial registry such as ClinicalTrials.gov for studies you may qualify for.
