SonoThera Presents New Data at the American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting Demonstrating the Potential of Targeted, Ultrasound-Mediated Gene Delivery to Liver

• New data demonstrates SonoThera’s novel, ultrasound-mediated gene delivery (UMGD) platform’s ability to noninvasively provide safe, effective gene therapy delivery to liver.

• Presentation focuses on the platform’s potential for treating hematological diseases such as Hemophilia A and B, and von Willebrand disease.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SonoThera™, a biotechnology company dedicated to treating the root cause of human diseases through genetic therapy, today announced it will present new data on its novel gene delivery platform and therapeutic programs at the 66^th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, being held December 7-10^th in San Diego, California.

The preclinical data highlights the ability of ultrasound-mediated gene delivery (UMGD) to deliver nonviral genetic payloads in a durable, titratable, redosable manner while achieving therapeutic FVIII and FIX gene expression levels in murine models. SonoThera’s novel UMGD platform is being developed to noninvasively deliver nucleic acid payloads of diverse formats and sizes safely, selectively targeting a wide range of organs and tissues within the body.

“A major challenge to creating safe and effective genetic treatments for hematological diseases such as Hemophilia A and B, and von Willebrand disease remains the ability to efficiently deliver oversized, nonviral DNA payloads to the liver in a safe and redosable manner,” said Kenneth Greenberg, PhD, CEO of SonoThera. “Ultrasound-mediated gene delivery has the ability to address these key issues, and we look forward to presenting our latest data demonstrating its potential.”
