Verve Therapeutics Secures $1.3B to Revolutionize Cardiovascular Gene Editing Treatments

Verve Therapeutics, a pioneering clinical-stage company based in Boston, Massachusetts, is thrilled to announce a momentous funding milestone of $1.3 billion. This significant capital infusion propels Verve’s ambitious mission to revolutionize the treatment of cardiovascular disease by shifting the paradigm from chronic management to one-time, curative gene editing therapies. By harnessing cutting-edge genetic science, Verve is developing a new class of medicines that targets the root causes of atherosclerosis. Its lead programs—VERVE-102, VERVE-201, and VERVE-301—focus on modulating the three predominant cholesterol drivers: LDL-C, remnant cholesterol, and Lp(a). These innovative approaches hold the promise of not only improving patient outcomes but also reducing the long-term burdens associated with traditional therapies. The newly secured funding is poised to accelerate clinical research, enhance the development of these transformative gene editing treatments, and support the execution of pivotal clinical trials. In addition to bolstering its core therapeutic pipeline, the investment will enable Verve to expand its research and development capacities, further cementing its role at the forefront of cardiovascular innovation. Beyond its scientific advancements, Verve Therapeutics has also been recognized as one of the "Best Places to Work" by the Boston Globe in 2024, reflecting its commitment to fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and innovative work environment. This milestone is not only a testament to the groundbreaking potential of its genetic medicines but also a strong vote of confidence from investors in the future of cardiovascular treatment. As Verve Therapeutics marches forward, this infusion of capital will play an integral role in shaping a healthier future, where one-course treatments could redefine the management and care of cardiovascular disease.
