This series provides an iterative, detailed look at progress in the preclinical and clinical development landscape of gene and cell therapies globally, and should collectively tell a complete story of scientific achievement and clinical advancement.

Highlights in Q2 2021 include the approval of a new gene therapy in Japan, the expansion of gene therapy approvals to three new countries, continued growth in early-phase gene therapy development, and growth in studies using a herpes simplex virus.

The dollar value of start-up financing rebounded this quarter to an aggregate of $1.4 billion after a consecutive three-quarter decrease.

You will find new types of information in this quarter’s report, as well, such as new clinical trials, key regulatory events, and listings of therapies in the preregistration phase this quarter, plus changes from Q2 2020 and noteworthy upcoming approval decisions.

ASGCT is excited to continue this series of landscape reports and to tell the story of this emerging technology as it translates to clinics and improves the lives of patients worldwide.

4 / Q2 2021 Information Classification: General Key takeaways from Q2 2021

One new gene therapy was approved, and three previously-approved gene therapies were approved in additional countries/regions • Delytact, a new genetically engineered oncolytic herpes simplex virus type 1, was approved in Japan for malignant glioma • Yescarta gained approval in China, Zolgensma in South Korea, and Abecma in Canada

Oncology remains the most active therapeutic area of research (preclinical through preregistration) • More than 1,300 gene and cell therapy candidates are in development for oncology

Financing for start-ups showed a marked increase • Seed and Series A financing volume nearly doubled in Q2, and the dollar value tripled, due to four $100M+ fundraisers

Overall dealmaking volume was down from Q1 but up from a year ago • A total of 142 deals (financings, alliances, and acquisitions) were signed in Q2, down from 167 in Q1, but up from the 132 transactions in Q2 2020

Sources for all data come from Informa Pharma Intelligence Pipeline and trial data • Data derived from Citeline (Pharmaprojects and Trialtrove) • Therapeutic classes included in report categorizations: • Gene therapies: Gene therapy; cellular therapy, chimeric antigen receptor; cellular therapy, T cell receptor; lytic virus • Cell therapies: Cellular therapy, other; cellular therapy, stem cell; cellular therapy, tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte • RNA therapies: Messenger RNA; oligonucleotide, non- antisense, non-RNAi; RNA interference; antisense therapy

Deal, financing, and catalyst data • Data derived from Biomedtracker • The following industry categorizations of deals are included: Gene therapy, cell therapy; antisense, oligonucleotides

46 / Q2 2021 Information Classification: General Glossary of Key Terms Therapy Type Definitions Gene therapy is the introduction, removal, or change in genetic material—specifically DNA or RNA—into the cells of a patient to treat a specific disease. For the purpose of this report, the following terms shall mean the following:

Therapies containing an active ingredient synthesized following vector-mediated introduction of a genetic sequence into target cells in- or ex-vivo. Used to replace defective or missing genes (as in cystic fibrosis) as well as to introduce broadly acting genetic sequences for the treatment of multifactorial diseases (e.g. cancer). Direct administration of Gene therapy oligonucleotides without using vectors is covered separately in the antisense therapy class; RNA interference class; or oligonucleotide, non-antisense, non-RNAi class. Platform technologies for gene delivery are covered separately in the gene delivery vector class.

Cellular therapy, chimeric antigen receptor Cellular therapy consisting of T cells that have been modified to express a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) – this is a cell *Falls under gene therapy in this report surface receptor that gives the T cells the ability to target a specific protein and fight the targeted cells.

Cellular therapies whereby natural T-cells collected for the patient, are engineered to express artificial receptors (usually Cellular therapy, T cell receptor through viral transfections) that would target specific intracellular antigens (as peptides bound to proteins encoded by *Falls under gene therapy in this report the major histocompatibility complex, MHC).

Lytic virus Therapies which have a replication-competent virus, that lyse pathogenic cells directly. These are normally genetically *Falls under gene therapy in this report modified to render them harmless to normal tissues. Examples include oncolytic viruses which specifically attack cancer cells.

47 / Q2 2021 Information Classification: General Glossary of Key Terms Therapy type definitions, cont.

Cell therapy includes the following therapeutic classes:

Regenerative therapy which promotes the repair response of injured tissue using stem cells (cells from which all other Cellular therapy, stem cell specialized cells would originate).

Adoptive cellular transfer of tumor resident T cells from tumor material, their expansion ex vivo, and transfer back into Cellular therapy, tumor infiltrating lymphocyte the same patient after a lymphodepleting preparative regimen.

Cellular therapies that do not fall under the categories of cellular therapy, stem cell; cellular therapy, CAR; cellular Cellular therapy, other therapy, TIL; cellular therapy, TCR; or the specific cellular therapy are unspecified.

48 / Q2 2021 Information Classification: General Glossary of Key Terms Therapy type definitions, cont. RNA therapy includes the following therapeutic classes:

Therapies that carry the desired mRNA code to overcome genetic mutations. The mRNA sequence will replace the Messenger RNA defective mRNA in a patient and starts producing the desired protein.

Synthetic therapeutic oligonucleotides which operate by a mechanism other than antisense or RNA interference (RNAi). This includes ribozymes, aptamers, decoys, CpGs, and mismatched and immunostimulant oligonucleotides. Sequences Oligonucleotide, non-antisense, non-RNAi delivered using vectors (gene therapy) are covered separately in “gene therapy.“ Antisense and RNAi oligonucleotides are covered separately in “antisense therapy" and "RNA interference,“ respectively. Includes products which act therapeutically via an RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism, including small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). These may be synthetic oligonucleotides, or RNAi sequences may be expressed from a vector as a form of gene therapy (see “gene therapy" therapeutic class). In vivo, these sequences block the expression of a specific protein by RNA interference forming an RNA-induced silencing complex, which then specifically binds to and degrades a complementary mRNA encoding the target protein. The use of RNAi purely as a drug discovery tool (e.g., in transgenic animal model production or in target validation) is not covered in this section. Antisense compounds under development as potential therapeutics. These may be synthetic oligonucleotides, or antisense RNA may be expressed from a vector as a form of gene therapy. They may prevent the expression of a specific Antisense therapy protein in vivo by binding to and inhibiting the action of mRNA, since they have a specific oligonucleotide sequence which is complementary to the DNA or RNA sequence which codes for the protein.
