    CRISPR Therapeutics Casgevy Sales Surge 78% QoQ to $76M Following FDA Expansion

    Question

    CRISPR Therapeutics Casgevy Sales Surge 78% QoQ to $76M Following FDA Expansion

    Direct answer

    CRISPR Therapeutics reported second-quarter commercial progress for Casgevy, its approved CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing therapy co-developed with Vertex Pharmaceuticals. Product revenue grew 78% sequentially to $76 million, demonstrating patient uptake across authorized treatment centers. Commercial momentum received support from FDA approval of a label expansion authorizing Casgevy for pediatric patients aged 2 and older. The expanded indication broadens the accessible patient pool for sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia. — bullish pressure on CRSP.
