Key Takeaways

  • ER-100 is the first FDA-cleared epigenetic reprogramming therapy to enter human trials, targeting age-related eye diseases.
  • The therapy resets epigenetic markers without full dedifferentiation (using OSK factors, excluding c-Myc) to restore youthful cell function.
  • Phase 1 trial focuses on safety in glaucoma and NAION patients via single intravitreal injection + 8 weeks of oral doxycycline activation.
  • Preclinical data showed vision restoration in mice and primates, including post-injury recovery and epigenetic pattern resetting.

Notable Quotes

“Partial epigenetic reprogramming aims at something further upstream… It targets the epigenome, the layer of biochemical markers that sit on top of your DNA.”

Bottom Line

Track trial NCT07290244 for initial safety data by late 2026. If successful, this could pioneer a new class of epigenetic therapies for aging-related diseases.
