MODERATORS
First-in-human just means it's the first time that specific therapy is being tested on humans instead of animals (e.g. mice, dogs, monkeys), and the primary objective of the trial is to test that it's safe for use in humans. It doesn't refer to the concept of gene editing or lowering cholesterol.
