Gene Therapies for Rare Diseases | Disease Landscape & Forecast | G7 | 2024
Approximately 80% of rare diseases have a genetic etiology. Gene therapies have the potential to transform the treatment of rare diseases and, in some cases, provide a functional cure. However, these innovative treatments must come with equally innovative programs to optimize access in a global healthcare market that is still grappling with how to fairly assess these therapies’ value and absorb their high up-front costs. Nonetheless, the pipeline for gene therapies is burgeoning, as large pharmaceutical companies (e.g., Janssen, Roche) assume increasing stakes in this arena. In this content, we explore the clinical and commercial potential of select gene therapies in rare disorders such as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD), beta thalassemia, and inherited retinal dystrophies such as retinitis pigmentosa.
Questions answered
- What are the sizes of the eligible populations for gene therapies in key indications in the G7?
- What are the main advantages and disadvantages of marketed gene therapies, and where do clinicians want to see improvements?
- With gene therapies being potential single-administration cures, how will the treatment-eligible population change over time in indications served by a gene therapy?
- What are the key drivers of and barriers to the adoption of gene therapies?
- What is the expected uptake of the first CRISPR-based gene editing therapy (Casgevy) approved for beta thalassemia?
- What is the commercial potential of emerging gene therapies in key indications (e.g., DMD, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, CALD)?
