Adeno-Associated Virus Vector in Gene Therapy Understanding

Adeno-Associated Virus Vector in Gene Therapy Overview

Recent advancements in genetic analysis, enabling rapid and cost-effective sequencing of genomes, have facilitated the identification of genes underlying various diseases. In particular, monogenic diseases caused by mutations in a single gene present promising targets for gene therapy interventions. However, realizing this potential has been hindered by challenges in safely delivering therapeutic nucleic acids into cells. While viral vectors, such as AAV, initially showed promise, concerns over immunogenicity and safety limitations have tempered their widespread use.

Alternative delivery methods, like nanoparticles, have also encountered hurdles. Despite these challenges, rAAV, a genetically engineered form of AAV devoid of viral DNA, has emerged as a promising gene therapy vehicle. Engineered to efficiently transport therapeutic DNA into target cells, rAAV circumvents integration into the host genome, thus minimizing the risk of unintended genetic alterations. Instead, rAAV-delivered DNA persists in the cell nucleus as episomal concatemers, ensuring sustained therapeutic effect without genomic integration. Despite ongoing research to enhance delivery efficiency and safety, rAAV holds significant potential for treating a wide range of genetic diseases, with ongoing clinical trials providing valuable insights for future therapeutic strategies.

Adeno Associated Virus Vectors in Gene Therapy Emerging Drugs

LUMEVOQ: GenSight Biologics

LUMEVOQ (GS010; lenadogene nolparvovec) targets Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) by leveraging a mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) proprietary technology platform, arising from research conducted at the Institut de la Vision in Paris, which, when associated with the gene of interest, allows the platform to specifically address defects inside the mitochondria using an AAV vector. According to Phase III results all treated participants showed sustained improvement over 4 years, but that patients treated with a bilateral injection of the gene therapy continued to have a better visual acuity than the patients treated with a unilateral injection, a disparity that had been seen in REFLECT since 1.5 years posttreatment.

The company is planning to submit to MHRA in the second half of 2024 and aiming to receive a decision from MHRA on LUMEVOQ in the second half of 2025, in the hopes of commercializing the product in the UK that same year.

Giroctocogene fitelparvovec comprises of a recombinant AAV6 encoding the complementary deoxyribonucleic acid for B-domain deleted human FVIII. It is being developed as part of a collaboration agreement for the global development and commercialization of gene therapies for hemophilia A between Sangamo and Pfizer. Currently, the company is conducting Phase III trials to attain better and clear results about the efficacy of SB-525. A Phase III clinical trial (NCT03587116) evaluates the effectiveness and safety of preventive replacement therapy in the usual care setting in hemophilia A patients. A pivotal readout is expected in mid-2024, with Pfizer anticipating BLA and MAA submissions in the second half of 2024 if the pivotal readout is supportive.

Adeno-Associated Virus Vector in Gene Therapy Market Outlook

Adeno Associated Virus Vectors in Gene Therapy has provided a unique opportunity to treat and even cure degenerative diseases, offering hope to the millions of people either affected by inherited disorders or carrying disease-causing mutations. Addressing optimal intervention timing, standardized outcome assessments, inflammation mitigation, awareness enhancement, and equitable access are key to advancing inherited retinal disease treatments and reshaping the landscape of visual impairment.

Gene therapies have brought about a change in the treatment paradigm for genetic diseases by providing lasting therapeutic effects with a single intervention. Gene therapy holds significant potential for addressing various eye diseases. However, individuals considering this treatment should be mindful of certain challenges and crucial factors. Although the recent successes in rare disease therapy approvals have provided momentum for AAV therapy research and funding, several limitations make this a difficult, capital-intensive platform to develop.

In December 2017, Spark Therapeutics announced that their drug candidate LUXTURNA received US FDA approval for the treatment of patients with confirmed biallelic RPE65 mutation-associated retinal dystrophy. LUXTURNA is the first FDA-approved gene therapy for a genetic disease, the first and only pharmacologic treatment for an inherited retinal disease, and the first AAV vector gene therapy approved in the United States. The drug was developed and commercialized in the United States by Spark Therapeutics. In Europe, Novartis is currently marketing LUXTURNA as per a licensing agreement covering the development, registration, and commercialization rights of LUXTURNA in markets outside the United States. The US FDA's advisory panel had all the way commended LUXTURNA approval in October 2017.

In the past few years, the treatment landscape of many diseases has rapidly changed. Now companies are developing gene and cell therapies that will have a promising role in the future, especially for the treatment of rare genetic diseases. The task of defining appropriate candidates for given gene therapy and cell therapy will need to await the enrollment and long-term follow-up of a sufficient number of study subjects to provide acceptable clarity about its safety and efficacy. To summarize, the outlook for gene and cell therapies is promising. Various clinical trials have been fairly positive in terms of safety and efficacy. The results of these studies are encouraging further investigation into multiple indications. The current scenario also anticipates a positive shift in the market for the forecast period.
