| News: NIH project aims to maximize efficiency of AAV platform for gene therapy |
Maximizing the efficiency of the adeno-associated virus (AAV) platform for gene therapy is the aim of a new pilot project of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NIH Platform Vector Gene Therapy (PaVe-GT) project is reported in the peer-reviewed journal Human Gene Therapy. Click here to read the full-text article free through December 16, 2020. "PaVe-GT is an experimental translational science initiative that aims to leverage the power of platform vectors and disease relatedness to help deliver on the promise of gene therapy to patients with rare diseases," states the NIH PaVe-GT team.

| News: Gene Therapy in One Eye Improves Vision in Both Eyes |
It’s not clear why the patients with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, a mitochondrial disorder that causes blindness, also experienced the modest benefits in their untreated eye. In a Phase 3 gene therapy trial intended to improve vision among patients with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, recipients gained somewhat better sight in both eyes even though only one was treated. The results and an investigation into possible explanations for the findings were published December 9 in Science Translational Medicine.

| Conference: 2nd Gene Therapy for Blood Disorders |
2020 has been an exciting year for gene therapies targeting blood disorders. Despite FDA’s recent rejection of BioMarin’s hemophilia gene therapy program, the clinical landscape is progressing quickly with Pfizer and Sangamo kicking off their phase 3 and bluebird bio receiving European approval for their beta-thalassemia candidate. With pipelines advancing and emerging companies joining the blood disorders field, it is essential for gene therapy developers to communicate and share lessons learned to accelerate their programs to market. The 2nd Gene Therapy for Blood Disorders meeting, March 9-11, 2021, is focusing on the clinical and commercial challenges of developing gene therapies targeting hemophilia, sickle cell disease and beta thalassemia. Evaluate the best strategies for a commercial launch in blood disease and optimize your trial design to ultimately transform your clinical candidates into a commercial reality.
