Applications
of regenerative medicine, including gene therapy, cell-based
gene therapy, and cell therapy, vary greatly
Our
analysis focuses on non-oncology, DNA-based GTx approaches,
including gene editing, gene replacement, and non-oncology
gene addition
All
11 agents approved in
US/EU markets
are gene replacement therapies (GRTs); most treat
hematological or CNS diseases
All
approved GRTs are for the treatment of autosomal recessive,
monogenic diseases
In
the last two years, the number of approved GRTs has doubled;
single-dose therapies have an average list price of
$3.0M/patient
GRT
is the most common and mature approach in the GTx pipeline;
a minority of agents employ novel non-viral delivery methods
while the majority use classic viral vectors
Gene
replacement/editing approaches tend to focus on monogenic
diseases with known etiologies; gene addition offers
potential in diseases with unknown disease-causing
mutations
As
the gene therapy space continues to rapidly evolve,
addressing technical, clinical, and commercial dynamics will
be critical to success
