Turn Biotechnologies, a cell rejuvenation company developing novel mRNA medicines for untreatable, age-related conditions, received positive feedback during an FDA Initial Targeted Engagement for Regulatory Advice on CBER producTs (INTERACT) meeting to review progress and plans for its therapeutic treatment to rejuvenate skin cells.
The meeting focused on the path forward for TRN-001, which would be the first treatment to repair damaged skin at the cellular level, improving its integrity and reducing inflammation and cell senescence. The results of the INTERACT meeting mean that Turn Bio is well positioned to be the first company to take a cell rejuvenation therapy to clinical trials.
“We were gratified at the strong alignment between Turn Bio’s approach to developing TRN-001 and the comments of FDA reviewers,” said Anja Krammer, CEO of Turn Bio. “We look forward to advancing our pre-clinical work as we work toward IND submission.”
TRN-001 was developed using Turn Bio’s proprietary ERA™ technology, an mRNA-based platform designed to restore youthful function to cells. The therapy is delivered using the company’s eTurna™ lipid particle carrier system, designed to effectively deliver and target drugs to specific tissue in the body.
