Cell, Gene, and RNA Therapies are shifting the aim of drug development from managing symptoms to delivering durable, potentially curative therapies. But moving a construct from a promising preclinical milestone to a viable commercial asset—whether an ex vivo cell therapy, an in vivo viral vector, or an RNA...
The Cell and Gene Therapy (CGT) sector continues to progress toward a demonstrably execution-centric development paradigm, in which asset valuation is increasingly influenced by the capacity to integrate scientific innovation with operational precision, manufacturing robustness, and evidence strategies that withstand...
Navigating rare disease drug development requires coordinated, adaptive strategies as science and regulation evolve in parallel. Small, geographically dispersed patient populations, limited natural history data, and heterogeneous disease progression make trial design and execution unusually complex. At the same time,...
Since PDUFA VII was signed into law in September 2022, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has introduced a series of initiatives aimed at addressing the persistent challenges of rare disease development. Collectively, these efforts form a more complete...
In recent years, the pharmaceutical landscape for rare diseases has witnessed a remarkable evolution. Rare diseases, often referred to as orphan diseases, affect small patient populations, yet collectively they impact more than 300 million people worldwidei and account for a...
Cell therapies, despite their transformative potential, face significant barriers that can hinder their development and commercialization. Safety concerns, manufacturing challenges, analytical complexities and scale-up difficulties present substantial risks. Competition from other drug modalities, coupled with the inherent complexity of clinical...
Today there are over 10,000 rare diseases affecting more than 30 million people in the U.S.1 Many of these disorders are life-threatening, and more than 90% do not have a U.S. FDA-approved treatment2. Novel gene therapies offer hope for improving...
We’re currently experiencing breakthrough times for clinical research in gene therapies. These complex treatments offer much-needed hope to more than 30 million U.S. patients affected by over 1000 rare diseases1, many of which are life-threatening and the vast majority of...
