NEW YORK, Oct. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LEXEO Therapeutics, Inc. (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 new clinical data from its ongoing study of LX1001 for APOE4-associated Alzheimer’s disease will be presented at the 29th European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy Annual Meeting (ESGCT), which is being held live in Edinburgh, Scotland and virtually from October 11-14, 2022.

In an oral presentation, LEXEO will present clinical data from the ongoing study of LX1001 for APOE4-associated Alzheimer’s disease.

This marks the first clinical data from a gene therapy program targeting APOE4-associated Alzheimer’s disease presented at a scientific meeting.

Details of the oral presentation are:

Title: Gene Therapy in APOE4 Homozygote Alzheimer’s Disease – interim data
