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
