Syncona Ltd on Thursday - London-based investor in healthcare companies - Says UK portfolio company Freeline Therapeutics Ltd presents positive new data from its phase I and II Galileo-1 study of FLT201, its novel gene therapy candidate, in Gaucher disease. Says FLT201 demonstrates a favourable safety and tolerability profile, with no infusion reactions and no severe adverse events. Syncona notes that Gaucher disease is a "debilitating genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the GCase enzyme".

Freeline Therapeutics is based in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. Read More
