Gene therapy shows promise for pediatric genetic diseases, cancer, and AIDS. Despite numerous human trials, no cures have been achieved, prompting research into improved vectors and disease understanding.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research
  • Clinical gene therapy

Background:

  • Gene therapy trials in humans have rapidly increased recently.
  • Pediatric gene therapy has targeted genetic diseases, cancer, and AIDS.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the progress and challenges in human gene therapy, particularly in pediatric applications.
  • To highlight the need for advancements in gene transfer vectors and disease pathophysiology understanding.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing human gene therapy trials.
  • Analysis of setbacks and their impact on research directions.

Main Results:

  • Hundreds of gene therapy trials involving thousands of patients have been conducted.
  • No disease has been definitively cured by gene therapy to date.

Conclusions:

  • Significant challenges remain in achieving curative gene therapy.
  • Research is advancing with new vectors, targeted therapies, and improved understanding of disease mechanisms.
