Practical experiences from running gene therapy trials with
Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) vectors: The Primary Investigator's perspective

The importance of gene therapy in a number of disease areas is increasing year on year, and consequently more and more gene therapy trials are being instigated. Yet relatively few centres across Europe have experience of running clinical trials in this complex area.

This online event is a new initiative from Sarepta, and will provide a forum for sharing best practice on the core aspects of running AAV gene therapy trials – including the background to these trials, differences between these and traditional clinical trials, and the key advice you need to establish a new trial site. The webcast will include presentations by experts from across Europe, as well as panel discussions and the opportunity for you to pose your questions to the experts in a live Q&A session.
