全球眼科基因疗法在研管线分析:未来1-10年有哪些发展趋势?
▎药明康德内容团队编辑
基因治疗的概念自1972年被提出后,其后50年间,基础研究的发展为患者“从根本上进行疾病治疗”带来了新的希望。同时,新的技术如基因编辑的发展也让“只需一次治疗”越来越成为可能。
眼科疾病是理想的基因治疗候选对象。一方面,得益于眼睛是免疫特权空间,几重血-眼屏障使得眼睛与免疫系统相对独立。另一方面,许多眼部疾病是由于单个或多个基因的缺陷造成的,很多遗传性眼科疾病的突变已经被精准识别,为基因疗法开发提供了众多的靶点选择。
内容概要
眼科基因疗法未来一年内重要里程碑
未来一年有17款眼科基因疗法有望达到新的里程碑(获批、递交监管申请或推进临床进展等),其中,3款疗法有望达到3期及以后的里程碑
眼科基因疗法未来十年潜在发展方向 眼科疾病患者受益群体扩大:青光眼、单纯孢疹病毒角膜炎等十几种疾病为临床前阶段相对于临床阶段新增适应症,未来这些疾病患者群体有望使用基因疗法进行治疗 突破基因载荷限制的非病毒载体占比在临床前阶段相比临床阶段占比上升:目前临床阶段管线中非病毒载体数量占比为6%,临床前管线中非病毒载体占比为13% 新技术不断被开发:基因编辑疗法在临床管线中占比为3%,在临床前管线占比为11%,同时新型技术如基因编码(Gene Coding)技术出现
