Myths That Make Early CDMO Engagement Look Like A Risk

Early CDMO involvement can be the difference between a scalable gene therapy program and costly development setbacks. Discover how collaborative AAV manufacturing strategies help optimize processes, improve product quality, streamline regulatory pathways, and accelerate time-to-clinic. Explore the benefits of moving beyond the traditional vendor relationship toward a true development partnership.


A gene therapy that wins in the clinic but fails in the market or, worse, never reaches market, is not a success. For example, in July 2025, the FDA issued Complete Response Letters (CRL) to Ultragenyx’s UX111 AAV gene therapy for Sanfilippo syndrome and Capricor’s deramiocel cell therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, citing CMC deficiencies and manufacturing facility observations as primary findings.1,2

In Ultragenyx’s case, the FDA acknowledged that robust clinical data existed, but the program…
