Stable and durable factor IX levels in patients with hemophilia B over 3 years after etranacogene dezaparvovec gene therapy

Annette von Drygalski et al.

Summary: This study reports the 3-year outcomes of using Etranacogene dezaparvovec in the treatment of adults with hemophilia B. The results show that Etranacogene dezaparvovec significantly increases FIX activity, reduces bleeding frequency, improves joint health, and has no major adverse events over the 3-year period.

Comprehensive analysis and prediction of long-term durability of factor IX activity following etranacogene dezaparvovec gene therapy in the treatment of hemophilia B

Jinesh Shah et al.

Summary: This study predicts the long-term durability of factor IX activity levels in patients with hemophilia B receiving etranacogene dezaparvovec gene therapy. The results suggest that most patients would have sustained factor IX activity levels and would not require regular factor replacement products for up to 25.5 years following a single treatment.

Gene Therapy with Etranacogene Dezaparvovec for Hemophilia B

S. W. Pipe et al.

Summary: Etranacogene dezaparvovec gene therapy was found to be superior to prophylactic factor IX treatment in patients with hemophilia B with regards to the annualized bleeding rate, and it demonstrated a favorable safety profile.

Two-Year Outcomes of Valoctocogene Roxaparvovec Therapy for Hemophilia A

J. Mahlangu et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the long-term effectiveness and safety of valoctocogene roxaparvovec therapy in reducing bleeding events in men with severe hemophilia A. The pharmacokinetic modeling suggests a half-life of 123 weeks for the transgene-derived factor VIII production system. Models also indicate a similar relationship between factor VIII activity and bleeding episodes as observed in individuals with mild-to-moderate hemophilia A using epidemiologic data.

Durability of transgene expression after rAAV gene therapy

Manish Muhuri et al.

Summary: Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) gene therapy has the potential to improve the lives of patients with genetic disorders. However, it is uncertain how long the therapeutic effect will last. This review explores the non-immunological and immunological factors that may affect durability, as well as strategies to increase the duration of the therapeutic effect.

The Arrival of Gene Therapy for Patients with Hemophilia A

Giancarlo Castaman et al.

Summary: The standard treatment for hemophilia A has been intravenous administration of exogenous factor VIII (FVIII), which has negative impact on patient's quality of life. The development of gene therapy brings hope for a single intravenous treatment that could result in long-term expression of FVIII and reduce bleeding episodes. Several gene therapies have shown positive outcomes in clinical trials and are expected to be approved for use in the near future.

Manufacturing challenges and rational formulation development for AAV viral vectors

Arvind Srivastava et al.

Summary: AAV has emerged as a leading platform for gene delivery due to its safety profile and efficient transduction, but faces challenges in large-scale production and long-term storage. This review analyzes the challenges encountered during AAV vector manufacturing and discusses strategies to maintain product quality throughout shelf-life, highlighting the importance of understanding degradation mechanisms and formulation techniques.

Gene therapy for hemophilia: a review on clinical benefit, limitations, and remaining issues

Frank W. G. Leebeek et al.

Summary: Significant progress has been made in gene therapy for hemophilia A and B in the last decade, showing promising results in reducing bleeding episodes and prophylaxis needs for patients. However, challenges such as side effects and limitations still exist and need to be addressed before widespread application in the patient population.

Hemophilia Gene Therapy: Approaching the First Licensed Product

Paul Batty et al.

Summary: The clinical potential of hemophilia gene therapy has been pursued for the past 30 years, with expectations of achieving this goal in the near future. While recent late phase clinical trials have shown promising results, there are still issues regarding efficacy and safety that need further attention. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for the widespread application of this treatment paradigm.
