Gene therapy clinical trials monitoring
Track the rapidly evolving gene therapy pipeline on ClinicalTrials.gov. Find recruiting trials for specific genetic conditions, monitor competitor programs, and identify patient referral opportunities for rare disease research.
Found 11 recruiting trials. Notable: AAV2-RPE65 long-term follow-up (Phase 3, 6 sites), CPCB-RPE1 patch for Stargardt (Phase 2/3), and a novel CRISPR-CEP290 in vivo edit for LCA10 (Phase 2, first dosed Jan 2024). Includes NCT numbers and eligibility summaries.
Genetic condition drug information
Look up FDA-approved treatments for genetic conditions including gene therapies, enzyme replacement therapies, substrate reduction therapies, and mRNA medicines. Retrieve mechanism, dosage, efficacy data, and safety profiles for pharmacological reviews.
Patisiran: siRNA targeting TTR mRNA, indicated for hereditary transthyretin-mediated amyloidosis (hATTR) with polyneuropathy. Dosage: 0.3 mg/kg IV q3 weeks. In APOLLO trial: 56% reduction in modified NIS+7 vs placebo (p<0.001). Premedication required.
Molecular genetics diagrams
Generate labeled diagrams of DNA repair pathways, gene editing mechanisms, genomic structural elements, and inheritance patterns. Create publication-quality visuals for papers, grant applications, and educational presentations.
Generated classification diagram: Class 1 (multi-subunit effectors) → Type I (Cascade-Cas3), Type III (Cmr/Csm complexes), Type IV. Class 2 (single-protein effectors) → Type II (Cas9), Type V (Cas12a/b), Type VI (Cas13). Includes PAM requirements and nucleic acid targets for each.
Deep research on genomics topics
Compile multi-source research reports on any genetics or genomics topic — from GWAS findings to gene therapy safety profiles. Pull together the evidence base quickly for proposals, review articles, and clinical briefings.
Compiled 26-source report: LNP delivery to liver well-established (Intellia NTLA-2001 Phase 1 results: sustained TTR knockdown >95%); key safety considerations include off-target editing monitoring, innate immune response to LNPs, and long-term durability data; prime editing programs entering IND-enabling studies.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Clinical Trials cover gene therapy IND-stage studies?
Clinical Trials searches ClinicalTrials.gov, which covers registered studies from Phase 1 onwards. IND-enabling preclinical work is not included. Studies are required to register before first patient enrollment, so Phase 1 gene therapy trials appear as soon as they begin recruiting.
Can Drug Information cover approved gene therapies like Casgevy or Luxturna?
Yes. Drug Information covers the FDA drug labeling database, which includes approved gene and cell therapies. For recently approved products, the most current labeling is retrieved.
Can Academic Research find papers on population genomics and GWAS studies?
Academic Research covers the full scope of genetics and genomics literature including GWAS, population genetics, functional genomics, and clinical genetics. You can filter by study type, date, and keyword to target any subfield.
Is there a way to check off-target editing analysis papers?
Academic Research can search for papers on off-target analysis methods (e.g., GUIDE-seq, CIRCLE-seq, DISCOVER-seq) and their application to specific CRISPR tools. Deep Research is additionally useful for compiling comparative method performance summaries.
Are Grants Finder results specific to genomics and gene therapy funding?
Grants Finder covers all NIH institutes, so queries focused on NHGRI, NIDDK, NCATS, and disease-specific institutes (e.g., NCI for cancer genetics) will surface genomics-relevant opportunities. Private foundations like Broad Institute, Gates Foundation, and rare disease foundations are also included.
