Instead of blocking a cancer protein, add a chemical off-switch to its gene so the cell stops making it. Early versions of this tool are being tested in other diseases.
CRISPR-based epigenetic silencers (CRISPRoff and related systems) place heritable DNA methylation and repressive marks at a promoter without cutting DNA. Delivered by lipid nanoparticles, this could durably silence an amplified or overexpressed but undruggable oncogene. Epigenetic editing has entered clinical development for a liver target, establishing delivery and durability precedent in humans.
