Roadblocks to Developing a Treatment

March 30, 2023 | 12:00 PM CT


Gene therapy research and studies, like that of many new treatments, do not always produce outcomes that are beneficial or successful. This session will explore some of the areas where treatments can get stopped while en route to an approval. We'll have a panel discussion with perspectives from regulatory, industry, clinical, and preclinical research. We'll also discuss failures on the commercial side and possible program halts, regulatory holds, safety and patient enrollment issues, and off-target effects in a pre-clinical setting related to gene therapies.
