Gene Therapies Target Neurodegenerative Diseases
A growing pipeline of gene therapy candidates aimed at treating neurodegenerative diseases has prompted new guidance.
Much of gene therapy development is targeting neurodegenerative diseases, among other difficult-to-treat indications. Responding to a growing pipeline of gene therapy candidates, FDA released a new draft guidance in January 2021, Human Gene Therapy for Neurodegenerative Diseases, focused on gene therapies being developed to treat neurodegenerative diseases. The new draft guidance focuses on product development, preclinical testing, and clinical trial design as well as discusses marketing approval pathways for investigational gene therapy products for neurodegenerative disease indications.
