Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. is a clinical-stage biotechnology firm focused on the development of gene therapy product candidates for the treatment of ocular diseases. Originating in 2006 and previously known as Avalanche Biotechnologies, Inc., the company underwent a name change to Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. in May 2016, marking a pivotal point in its history. The corporate headquarters of Adverum is located in Redwood City, California, positioning it within a hub of biotechnological innovation. Through strategic partnerships and license agreements with prestigious institutions and companies like the University of California, GenSight Biologics, Lexeo Therapeutics, and Virovek, Inc., Adverum Biotechnologies is advancing its mission to deliver transformative gene therapies to patients suffering from severe ocular diseases.
This flagship product candidate represents a pioneering approach in the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic macular edema. By leveraging a single intravitreal (IVT) injection gene therapy platform, Adverum aims to provide long-term benefits for patients with these chronic eye diseases, currently in phase 2 clinical trials. This novel therapy has the potential to revolutionize the management of wet AMD and diabetic macular edema by reducing the burden of frequent treatments and offering sustained efficacy.
A cutting-edge gene therapy candidate, ADVM-062, is in development for the treatment of blue cone monochromacy—a rare genetic condition affecting vision. By utilizing a single IVT injection, this product aims to address the genetic root of the disease, offering a targeted and innovative therapeutic option for those affected by this incurable eye condition. Through this endeavor, Adverum Biotechnologies is expanding its portfolio to include treatments for less common but equally challenging ocular diseases.
