Voretigene neparvovec is the first gene therapy made broadly available to patients, and it has been over three years since the first patient in Europe was treated with this breakthrough medicine. In three years, voretigene neparvovec has had a deep impact on clinical practice in Inherited Retinal Dystrophies and has transformed the daily life of dozens of patients.

In this unique webinar series, we asked leading experts in Europe how gene therapy has revolutionized their field of practice, and whether the first ocular gene therapy keeps its promises beyond clinical trials.

In a series of short talks, we explore how treatment with gene therapy is carried out in real-world clinical practice, the unique challenges and opportunities offered by ocular gene therapy, and how voretigene neparvovec has impacted on the life of patients in need across Europe.
