Cell and Gene Therapies Are Driving Investment Opportunities
By Adam Schoen, Partner, Brown Rudnick LLP Global Life Sciences Practice Group
Cell and gene therapies could potentially bring significant clinical benefits to patients by directly targeting the underlying cause of disease. For example, instead of treating symptoms of disease, a prolonged and costly undertaking, a one-time gene therapy treatment has the potential to fundamentally address the root cause. This can be done by inserting a missing gene into a patient’s DNA, known as gene therapy, or repairing a defective gene, which is known as gene editing. While certainly not without risks and still in early stages, these emerging therapeutics are promising, and the unmet need to treat or cure rare diseases is significant. National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates there are about 7,000 rare diseases that affect more than 25 million Americans, and many have no approved therapies.
