The company has announced that it has submitted its first CTA to the UK's MHRA for NTLA-5001 (an auto TCR-T cell therapy targeting WT1) to initiate a PhI trial. The company expects to initiate screening by year-end. This first-in-human trial is expected to evaluate the safety and activity in patients with persistent or recurrent AML who have previously received first-line therapies.

Also, last month they submitted an application to the New Zealand's MMDS to begin a PhI trial for NTLA-2002. Additional applications with other countries are following. It utilises the company's modular in vivo lipid nanoparticle delivery technology to knock out the KLKB1 gene in the liver with the potential to permanently reduce plasma kallikrein protein and activity, a key mediator of HAE.
