Corporate Profile
Corporate Profile
MeiraGTx is a vertically integrated, clinical-stage genetic medicines company with a broad pipeline of late-stage clinical programs, including Parkinson's disease, radiation-induced xerostomia and AIPL1-associated retinal dystrophy. MeiraGTx clinical programs use targeted local delivery of small doses of genetic medicines to treat both inherited and more common conditions with severe unmet need. The successful development of the clinical pipeline is supported by our internal end-to-end manufacturing capabilities. MeiraGTx has two GMP viral vector production facilities, internal plasmid production for GMP as well as an in-house Quality Control hub for stability and release, all fit for IND through commercial supply. In addition, MeiraGTx has developed a proprietary manufacturing platform with leading yield and quality aspects and commercial readiness. Our core capabilities in viral vector and capsid optimization allow increased potency, decreased dose and significantly reduced cost of goods for our genetic medicines. MeiraGTx has developed a transformative gene regulation platform using bespoke synthetic riboswitch technology invented in-house that allows for the precise, dose-responsive expression of any transgene under the control of oral small molecules. MeiraGTx is focusing the riboswitch platform on in vivo delivery of biologic therapeutics such as the metabolic peptides GLP-1, GIP, Glucagon, Amylin, PYY and Leptin via oral small molecules, as well as cell therapy for oncology and autoimmune diseases, and long-term intractable pain. MeiraGTx has developed unique comprehensive technology capabilities to apply genetic medicine to more common diseases, increasing efficacy, addressing novel targets, and expanding access in some of the largest disease areas where the unmet need remains high.
