CRSP Stock On Wild Ride After FDA's Historic Approval. These Gene Editing Treatments Could Be Next.

Biotech stocks could be at a major turning point after FDA approval of the first gene editing drug using CRISPR technology to treat sickle cell disease.
Government approval of these groundbreaking treatments could generate an unprecedented wave of medical innovation. But gene editing therapies aren’t without risk, and questions remain about the safety and cost effectiveness of these experimental treatments.
On this episode of Growth Stories, we dive into the science of gene editing treatments and how the boom in gene therapy drug approvals could transform the healthcare industry.

I wonder how many members of congress and the FDA just happened to own the stock…

[@camadams9149]

You've got the order of events mixed up. "I wonder how many members of congress found out about the approval before it was publicly announced and then bought stock"

[@StockyDude]

I wonder how many idiots like you keep looking for any reason to believe in a conspiracy theory. I invested in this company when their stock was still just OTC. I read their financial statements and 8K’s all the time. Very few of us investors that believed in them. They received very little grant money and only after they accumulated a lot of data. But of course, now you want everything for free after their staff and scientists earned less than the national average for years. Yes, now you entitled socialists finally appreciate what they did and want to take advantage of it without giving any compensation.

[@duncanmacleod7287]

3.5million per treatment... Is there a cure for greed yet?

[@Imaboss8ball]

I think in this case the high price is the combination of the chemo, what is essentially a marrow transplant, and the small market size. The smaller market size means less people need to shoulder the cost of R&D and opportunity costs.

[@owezzel]

It’s called Jesus, the only cure for all sin.

[@Ramiromasters]

Let's be clear, the cost of producing these therapies, now that the foundational scientific research is complete, amounts to only a few dollars. The million-dollar price tags attached to them are not even intended to recover research and development costs, which have been partially funded through taxpayer-supported academic institutions, philanthropic donations, and the dedicated work of scientists. Rather, these extraordinary price tags are driven by pharmaceutical companies' focus on profits over people. Each person cured means one less source of ongoing revenue. Let that sink in - cures destroy repeat business.

[@xx133]

The tax payers paid for all of this research to be done, it’s ours, we should control the patents, not some capital owners that figured out how to rig the system and rip us off. The funny thing is cures are also profitable, but what’s not profitable is preventative care. It would be nice if we didn’t have contaminated water and food pumped with junk so we didn’t succumb to these diseases in the first place, but that would hurt profits.

If I understood it correctly, he had to get chemo before the gene editing? So will we get better methods of treatment that don’t involve chemo as a prerequisite?

[@Imaboss8ball]

It's essentially a bone marrow transplant. The chemo is how we currently do it. Although in this case I'm betting they could develop a virus that specifically targets the marrow. That virus could deliver the edits. I'm guessing the reason they aren't doing that is because it would be more difficult to get approval for. It's safer to perform the gene therapy outside the body then reinsert.

​​​@@MrCarRamrodthat's a good idea but it doesn't matter if you don't take DNA methylation and histone modifications into account and epigenetics is a much younger concept than editing DNA and genes are only half responsible for the expression of proteins and molecules that make the body work. While we can edit segments of DNA that are mutated as you mentioned, there's no guarantee that the proper epigenetic data is imprinted for those edited segments to work.
