DNA Therapeutics for Human Use

The primary development focus of naked plasmid therapeutics is angiogenic factors gene therapy. As of now, there are a total of two approved naked plasmid drugs for human use globally: Neovasculgen, launched in Russia in 2011, and Collategene, introduced to the Japanese market in 2019. Several other naked plasmid drugs are currently in the Phase II-III clinical stages. Encoding genes include HGF, VEGF-A, SDF-1 (CXCL12), and among others.

DNA Therapeutics for Animal Use

Different from human medicines, DNA vaccines have been more successful for animal use, including veterinary and pet.
