Gene therapy might just be the medical world’s future secret sauce for preventing/treating diseases. While it’s still considered an experimental approach, more than 2,000 clinical trials around the world are making significant progress on the topic. This treemap breaks down the focus (i.e., indication or disease) of the trials by their geographical distribution. For example, more than 64% of gene therapy clinical trials are aimed at treating cancer. Of those, close to 68% are North American trials. So of all gene therapy trials, about 44% are conducted in North America, focusing on cancer diseases. The study of healthy volunteers is the only category in which North America does not conduct the plurality/majority of trials; Europe leads the way on this subject.
