      Preclinical Pipeline — Indigenous Gene Therapy Programs for DMD in India

    • #682

      Not yet in human trials, but worth tracking since these could move to CTRI-registered studies:

      Intas Pharmaceuticals (Centre for Cell & Gene Therapy) – preclinical AAV and lentiviral vector development targeting DMD, alongside Hemophilia A/B, SMA, β-thalassemia, and Sickle Cell Disease.
      Reliance Life Sciences – preclinical autologous/allogeneic cell therapy and viral vector platforms (primarily ocular and hematopoietic disorders currently, but part of the same domestic gene-therapy manufacturing base that could extend to DMD).
      Micro CRISPR Private Limited – gene-editing research platforms for rare monogenic conditions and diagnostics.

      Domestic CAR-T success (NexCAR19, developed by ImmunoACT/IIT Bombay, CDSCO-approved) is frequently cited as proof that India’s regulatory and manufacturing ecosystem can support advanced cell/gene therapies, this is part of why analysts expect DMD-directed gene therapy trials to follow.
