NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LEXEO Therapeutics (LEXEO), a clinical-stage biotech company advancing a pipeline of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy candidates for cardiovascular and central nervous system (CNS) diseases, today announced it will be presenting clinical and preclinical data at three upcoming scientific meetings. LEXEO will present at the inaugural International Congress for Ataxia Research (ICAR) held live in Dallas, Texas from November 1-4, 2022, the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions held live in Chicago, Illinois and virtually from November 5-7, 2022, and the Clinical Trials for Alzheimer’s Disease (CTAD) conference held live in San Francisco, California from November 29-December 2, 2022.

Three of LEXEO’s gene therapy programs were selected for oral presentations across the conferences, including:

  • Clinical study design and additional preclinical data for LX2006, a clinical stage AAVrh10-based gene therapy delivered intravenously for the treatment of FA cardiomyopathy in a Phase 1/2 study
  • Preclinical data from LX2020, an AAVrh10-based gene therapy candidate for the treatment of ARVC caused by mutations in the PKP2 gene
  • Interim Phase 1/2 data from LX1001, an AAVrh10-based gene therapy being developed for APOE4-associated Alzheimer’s disease
