Context

GenSight is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that discovers and develops novel therapies for neurodegenerative retinal diseases and diseases of the central nervous system.

Its pipeline leverages two core technology platforms, Mitochondrial Targeting Sequence (MTS) and optogenetics, which help preserve or restore vision in patients suffering from severe degenerative retinal diseases.

GenSight’s lead product candidate, LUMEVOQ® (GS010), is close to commercial launch for Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare mitochondrial disease that leads to irreversible vision loss in teens and young adults. LUMEVOQ will be the first gene therapy for LHON, and only the fifth potentially approved gene therapy following its September 2020 application for European Marketing Authorization.

Follow-on Offering proceeds will mainly be used to prepare the commercial launch of LUMEVOQ in Europe to treat LHON; prepare New Drug Application (NDA) submission and commercial launch in the US; launch Phase 2/3 studies for GenSight’s GS030 therapy; and finance the pipeline development of preclinical assets.
