Voretigene neparvovec is a gene therapy product used for the treatment of inherited retinal dystrophy due to confirmed biallelic RPE65 mutations, approved for use in several regions including the US and EU. It delivers a functional copy of the RPE65 gene via an adeno-associated virus vector to retinal cells to improve vision.
No traditional pharmacokinetic parameters (such as plasma concentration profiles) are reported, as voretigene neparvovec is a gene therapy vector administered directly into the subretinal space, with primarily local retinal action and minimal systemic distribution. Clinical pharmacokinetic studies are not applicable.
