With the recent approval of two new gene therapies for sickle cell disease, the consistent development of cell and gene therapies are in the spotlight. Further successful clinical trials will be needed for the potential of these therapies to be realized in other conditions. With over 2,000 clinical programs globally and an anticipated growth rate of 25% in the next five years, the industry faces multifaceted challenges such as evolving stakeholder requirements, complex logistics for study planning, and mandated long-term patient follow-up.
