Based on preliminary trial data, the FDA had designated Zolgensma a breakthrough therapy, one of three special designations that helped it race from human trials to regulatory approval in five ...
Clinical trials of gene therapy for sickle cell disease were started in 2014. [227] [228] In February LentiGlobin BB305, a gene therapy treatment undergoing clinical trials for treatment of beta thalassemia gained FDA "breakthrough" status after several patients were able to forgo the frequent blood transfusions usually required to treat the ...
The original issue focused on viral vectors for gene delivery vectors and use of gene therapy treatments for oncology. Current Gene Therapy was among the first gene therapy focused journals to publish on the use of Alphaviruses for gene therapy, [2] oncolytic virotherapy using adenoviral-mediated gene transfer, [3] and the use of Fas Ligand ...

Gene therapy is a medical procedure that involves inserting genetic material into a patient's cells to repair or fix a malfunctioning gene in order to treat hereditary illnesses. Between 1989 and December 2018, over 2,900 clinical trials of gene therapies were conducted, with more than half of them in phase I. [51]
Animal testing for gene therapy began in 2007 with a 2009 breakthrough in squirrel monkeys suggesting an imminent gene therapy in humans. While progress in gene therapy for red-green color blindness has slowed since then, successful human trials are currently underway for achromatopsia, a different form of color vision deficiency.
The use of gene therapy in treating neurological disorders such as epilepsy has presented itself as an increasingly viable area of ongoing research with the primary targets being somatostatin, galanin, neuropeptide y, potassium channels, optogenetics and chemogenetics for epilepsy. As the field of gene therapy continues to grow and show ...
[79] [80] If siRNA is able to successfully reach its target, it has the potential to therapeutically regulate gene expression through its ability to base-pair to mRNA targets and promote their degradation through the RISC system [5] [74] Currently, siRNA-based therapy is in a phase I clinical trial for the treatment of age-related macular ...
