After decades of intense scientific research into developing gene editing technologies, and more than a few setbacks, the field has produced a number of success stories in recent years, demonstrating that regulatory agencies are increasingly likely to accept safety, efficacy, and durability data to approve such therapies. These advances have culminated in a series of FDA approvals in 2023, each a first gene therapy for various rare diseases.
