Abstrakt: Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-based gene therapy is an innovative modality being increasingly investigated to treat diseases by modifying or replacing defective genes or expressing therapeutic entities. With its unique anatomic and physiological characteristics, the eye constitutes a very attractive target for gene therapy. Specifically, the ocular space is easily accessible and is generally considered "immune-privileged" with a low risk of systemic side effects following local drug administration. As retina cells have limited cellular turnover, a one-time gene delivery has the potential to provide long-term transgene expression. Despite the initial success with voretigene neparvovec (Luxturna), the first approved retina gene therapy, there are still challenges to be overcome for successful clinical development of these products and scientific questions to be answered. The current review paper aims to integrate published experience learned thus far for AAV-based retina gene therapy related to preclinical to clinical translation; first-in-human dose selection; relevant bioanalytical assays and strategies; clinical development considerations including trial design, biodistribution and vector shedding, immunogenicity, transgene expression, and pediatric populations; opportunities for model-informed drug development; and regulatory perspectives. The information presented herein is intended to serve as a guide to inform the clinical development strategy for retina gene therapy with a focus on clinical pharmacology.
