Gene therapy is an exciting therapeutic concept that offers the promise of a cure for an array of inherited and acquired disorders. The liver has always been a key target for gene therapy as it controls essential biological processes including digestion, metabolism, detoxification, immunity, and blood coagulation. Metabolic disorders of hepatic origin number several hundreds, and for many, liver transplantation remains the only cure. Liver-targeted gene therapy is an attractive treatment modality for many of these conditions. After years of failure, substantial progress in this field in the past decade has resulted in promising clinical efficacy and safety in patients with monogenetic disorders with Valoctocogene roxaparvovec (Roctavian), the first gene therapy for treatment for hemophilia A, to be approved in Europe. Another, Etranacogene dezaparvovec (AMT-061) for hemophilia B is also in the final stages of approval. A number of other liver targeted gene therapy products are at an advanced stage of development, thus heralding a new era of potentially curative molecular medicine. This review explores the recent clinical advances in liver targeted gene therapy as well as the challenges that need to be overcome for the widespread adoption of this new treatment paradigm.
