About

Excision BioTherapeutics is a biopharmaceutical company developing in vivo CRISPR-Cas9 and CRISPR-CasX gene-editing therapies designed to cure viral infectious diseases rather than merely suppress them. Its lead candidate, EBT-101, targets latent HIV-1 reservoirs and builds on gene-editing research originated in the lab of Temple University professor Kamel Khalili. The company received FDA fast-track designation for EBT-101 in 2023 and advanced the therapy into early-stage human clinical trials, though a 2024 readout showed it did not maintain viral suppression alone at the initial dose.

Summary

Excision is a Biotech company based in San Francisco, United States, founded in 2015. It has raised $60.0M in total across 4 rounds, most recently a Grant round in Sep 2022. Investors include Artis Ventures (AV), GreatPoint Ventures and California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM).
