GM2 Gangliosidosis Understanding

GM2 Gangliosidosis: Overview

GM2 gangliosidosis is a rare genetic disorder that progressively destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The most common form of the disease typically presents in infancy, but various other forms can present in childhood, adolescence, or even adulthood. GM2 gangliosidosis is sometimes called Tay-Sachs disease or HexA deficiency. The disorder is one of about 50 diseases that are classified as lysosomal storage disorders (LSD), where a genetic variation disrupts the normal activity of lysosomes in human cells. GM2 gangliosidosis is most often caused by a mutation in the HEXA or the GM2A gene, which prevents an enzyme called beta-hexosaminidase A, from properly breaking down large molecules inside the body’s cells. This genetic condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means that an affected child has received one defective copy of the gene from each of their parents. The severity of symptoms and the time at which they first present can vary in GM2 gangliosidosis. Children with this disease typically show no signs at the time of birth and develop normally during the first few months of life. There are currently no approved therapies to reverse the effects of GM2 gangliosidosis. Current approaches involve interdisciplinary collaboration to provide targeted management for specific symptoms.

""GM2 Gangliosidosis - Pipeline Insight, 2025"" report by DelveInsight outlays comprehensive insights of present scenario and growth prospects across the indication. A detailed picture of the GM2 Gangliosidosis pipeline landscape is provided which includes the disease overview and GM2 Gangliosidosis treatment guidelines.

• In the coming years, the GM2 Gangliosidosis market is set to change due to the rising awareness of the disease, and incremental healthcare spending across the world; which would expand the size of the market to enable the drug manufacturers to penetrate more into the market.
• The companies and academics that are working to assess challenges and seek opportunities that could influence GM2 Gangliosidosis R&D. The therapies under development are focused on novel approaches to treat/improve the disease condition.
• A detailed portfolio of major pharma players who are involved in fueling the GM2 Gangliosidosis treatment market. Several potential therapies for GM2 Gangliosidosis are under investigation. With the expected launch of these emerging therapies, it is expected that there will be a significant impact on the GM2 Gangliosidosis market size in the coming years.
• Our in-depth analysis of the pipeline assets (in early-stage, mid-stage and late stage of development for the treatment of GM2 Gangliosidosis) includes therapeutic assessment and comparative analysis. This will support the clients in the decision-making process regarding their therapeutic portfolio by identifying the overall scenario of the research and development activities.

GM2 Gangliosidosis Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the GM2 Gangliosidosis report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

GM2 Gangliosidosis Emerging Drugs

• Venglustat: Sanofi

Venglustat is an oral inhibitor of an enzyme called glucosylceramide synthase (GCS). Enzymes modify specific molecules called substrates. GCS turns its substrate, ceramide, into glucosylceramide (GL-1) during lipid metabolism, a series of biochemical reactions that degrade and generate lipids. GL-1 acts as a substrate to other enzymes and is turned into globosides, a subclass of lipids where Gb3 belongs. When venglustat inhibits GCS, it prevents the synthesis of GL-1, thereby reducing the substrate of the following reactions that lead to the formation of Gb3 and its accumulation in the absence of α-galactosidase A. That’s why venglustat is called a substrate reduction therapy. Currently, it is under Phase III stage of clinical trial evaluation to treat GM2 gangliosidoses.

• AXO-AAV-GM2: Sio Gene Therapies

AXO-AAV-GM2 is an investigational gene therapy for GM2 gangliosidosis (also known as Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases), a set of rare and fatal pediatric neurodegenerative genetic disorders caused by defects in the HEXA (leading to Tay-Sachs disease) or HEXB (leading to Sandhoff disease) genes that encode the two subunits of the β-hexosaminidase A (HexA) enzyme. These genetic defects lead to progressive neurodegeneration and shortened life expectancy. AXO-AAV-GM2 aims to restore HexA function by introducing a functional copy of the HEXA and HEXB genes via delivery of two co-administered AAVrh8 vectors. AXO-AAV-GM2 has received Orphan Drug Designation, Rare Pediatric Disease Designation and Fast Track Designation from the Food and Drug Administration and is the only gene therapy in clinical development for all pediatric forms of GM2 gangliosidosis. In 2018, Sio licensed exclusive worldwide rights from UMass Chan Medical School for the development and commercialization of gene therapy programs for GM1 gangliosidosis and GM2 gangliosidosis, including Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases.
