There are an additional 17 approved cell and gene therapies and the FDA anticipates that by 2025 they’ll be approving between 10-20 cell and gene therapies a year.

For the biopharma industry, there is an opportunity to develop life saving treatments. For example, inherited retinal insufficiency and inherited blindness can be treated, blood disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell disease can be treated, and even cancer can be cured in some cases.

Cell and gene therapies are capable of incredible things, but they are not without challenges. CAR-T sales have been lower than anticipated. Zolgensma sales have been promising, still only 200 patients were treated in 2019.
