In this review, multiple VBAs for CGTs were identified across multiple disease areas. Most payers did not publicly disclose which outcomes measures the VBAs were assessing. Of those that did, outcomes assessed could be sourced from routine patient visits and/or adjudicated claims, placing no additional burden on providers to collect data for the sole purpose of the VBA."

GENE THERAPY OF HEMOPHILIA B: IDENTIFICATION OF THE MOST EFFICIENT AAV SEROTYPE VECTOR FOR TRANSDUCTION OF HUMAN HEPATIC CELLS (ASGCT 2025) - "In 2022, the United States Food and Drug Administration (USFDA) approved Hemgenix, an AAV5-based vector from uniQure for gene therapy of hemophilia B. A relative high dose of 2x1013 vgs/kg of this vector leads to up to ~12% expression of the human clotting factor IX (hFIX)...All of these proof-of-concept studies make a compelling case for the use of AAV3 vectors with lower immunogenicity, improved safety, ensuring translation to the clinic with higher probability of success for gene therapy of hemophilia B. Furthermore, the reduced vector production costs as well as lower cost per patient should allow the eligible patient population worldwide to benefit from AAV3 vector-mediated gene therapy of hemophilia B in particular, and human liver diseases in general, in which other AAV serotype vectors have proven to be less than optimal.

US payer policies defined a narrow patient population for Hemophilia B gene therapies compared to product FDA labels, sometimes restricting eligibility beyond clinical trial criteria. This targeted review identified misalignment between payers and regulators on the clinical value of Hemophilia B Breakthroughs."

The introduction of a recombinant gene in place of its defective counterpart seems to be a promising solution and the beginning of a new era in which genetic therapies have a chance to develop their full potential and replace existing therapeutic regimens."

The deLIVERed promises of gene therapy: past, present and future of liver-directed gene therapy. (PubMed, Mol Ther) - "Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors have become the cornerstone of liver-directed therapies, demonstrating remarkable success in conditions such as hemophilia A and B, with FDA approved therapies like Etranacogene Dezaparvovec, Beqvez, and Roctavian marking milestones in the field. The advent of various genome-editing tools to repair genomic mutations or insert therapeutic DNAs into precise locations in the genome further enhances the potential for a single-dose medicine that will offer durable life-long therapeutic treatments. As advancements accelerate, liver-targeted gene therapy is poised to continue to transform the treatment landscape for both genetic and acquired disorders, for which unmet challenges remain."
