enGene

At enGene, we are at the vanguard of a new era in genetic medicine: Our novel Dually Derivatized Oligochitosan® (DDX) gene delivery platform is designed to enable localized delivery of multiple gene cargos, including RNA and DNA, directly to mucosal tissues and other organs — potentially overcoming the limitations of viral-based gene therapies and advancing gene therapy beyond rare genetic diseases into the mainstream of clinical practice. Our breakthrough Dually Derivatized Oligochitosan® (DDX) platform opens possibilities for streamlining the use of genetic medicines in the treatment of serious diseases, especially diseases afflicting mucosal tissues. Our lead product candidate, EG-70 (detalimogene voraplasmid), is a non-viral immunotherapy in development to treat non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), a disease with a significant patient burden, high clinical needs, and massive healthcare system economic impact. Based on its preliminary efficacy and safety profile and ease of administration by urologists, EG-70, which is currently in a pivotal trial, can potentially benefit patients across a wide variety of clinical settings. As enGeneers, we are boldly focused on patients' needs. We are a team of passionate experts with extensive experience in drug development and commercialization across oncology, respiratory, and several other therapeutic areas. Nasdaq: ENGN
