Cancer, an intricate and formidable adversary, continues to challenge the boundaries of medical science, necessitating innovative approaches for its effective management. In recent years, the emergence of CRISPR based technologies has sparked a paradigm shift in the landscape of cancer therapy, offering unprecedented precision and potential for personalized treatment strategies. CRISPR, or Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats, represents a revolutionary genome-editing tool that holds the promise of not only unraveling the intricacies of cancer biology but also providing precise and targeted interventions for its treatment.

The journey towards CRISPR based cancer therapy begins with an understanding of the genetic underpinnings of cancer. The heterogeneity within cancer cells, driven by mutations and aberrations in critical genes, poses a significant challenge to traditional therapeutic modalities. Conventional treatments often lack the specificity needed to selectively target cancer cells without affecting normal, healthy tissues. Enter CRISPR, a molecular scissor that enables the precise modification of DNA sequences with unparalleled accuracy.

The history of CRISPR based cancer therapy development is a testament to the remarkable evolution of genome editing technologies and their applications in the field of oncology. The journey begins with the discovery of CRISPR in bacteria and the subsequent harnessing of this system for precise gene editing. Initially, in the late 1990s, scientists observed mysterious repetitive sequences in bacterial genomes. These sequences were later identified as Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR). Researchers recognized the association of CRISPR with the bacterial immune system, revealing its role in defending against viral infections by storing snippets of viral DNA.

J. Doudna et al. published groundbreaking research demonstrating that the CRISPR system could be repurposed as a revolutionary genome-editing tool in the year 2012. This landmark study laid the foundation for the development of CRISPR as a versatile and precise technology for altering DNA sequences. The following years witnessed rapid advancements in CRISPR technology, including the development of different Cas proteins (Cas9, Cas12, Cas13), each with unique properties. Researchers also improved the delivery systems for CRISPR, enhancing its efficiency and specificity.

Preclinical studies demonstrated the feasibility and efficacy of CRISPR based cancer therapies in animal models. Researchers showcased the ability to selectively target cancer cells, validating the potential of CRISPR for precision medicine in oncology. Ensuing that, the clinical trials exploring CRISPR based cancer therapies were initiated by various institutes and hospitals such as University of California, Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota, Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University etc. These trials aimed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and initial efficacy of CRISPR interventions in human subjects.

The arena of CRSPR therapy achieved a major milestone when the world's first therapy, Casgevy was approved by the FDA for the treatment of multiple patients suffering from sickle cell disease (SCD) in patients 12 years and older or transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia In December 2023. Casgevy (exagamglogene autotemcel) is a CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited therapy, which has been developed in collaboration between CRISPR Therapeutics with Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

The development and application of CRISPR therapy for cancer arises from the need for more precise, targeted, and effective treatments in the face of the challenges posed by conventional cancer therapies. Owing to the fact that cancer is often characterized by complex genetic alterations, including mutations, amplifications, and deletions of key genes. The heterogeneity within tumors makes it challenging to devise one-size-fits-all treatments. CRISPR, with its ability to precisely target specific genes, provides a means to address the genetic diversity of cancer and develop personalized therapeutic strategies.

The paradigm shift towards precision medicine emphasizes the need for tailored treatments that consider the unique genetic makeup of individual patients. CRISPR's precision and versatility enable the customization of therapies based on the specific genetic alterations driving an individual's cancer, thereby enhancing treatment efficacy and reducing side effects. Moreover, CRISPR allows researchers to target and modify oncogenes (genes that promote cancer) and tumor suppressor genes (genes that inhibit cancer). By editing or modulating the activity of these genes, CRISPR can disrupt cancer-promoting pathways while restoring tumor-suppressive functions, offering a targeted approach to cancer treatment.

All these examples illustrate that the sphere of CRISPR therapies is expanding and is poised to multiply further in the imminent years as evident from the rising FDA approvals, preclinical and clinical studies along with involvement of stakeholders form the various pharma and biotech companies.
