Some of the key facts of the Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Market Report:
• The Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy market size is anticipated to grow with a significant CAGR during the study period (2019-2032)
• In February 2025, GenSight's gene therapy for patients with Leber hereditary optic neuropathy (LHON) has shown lasting effectiveness and vision improvement over a five-year period. The France-based company GenSight Biologics released final results from its Phase III Reflect trial (NCT03293524), a randomized, placebo-controlled study assessing the safety and efficacy of Lumevoq (lenadogene nolparvovec). The findings revealed that a single dose of the gene therapy maintained its therapeutic benefits throughout the duration of the trial. LHON is a rare genetic eye disorder that can cause sudden and rapid vision loss.
• Key Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Companies: GenSight, Stealth Biotherapeutics, GenSight Biologics, Santhera Pharmaceuticals, Regenera Pharma Ltd, Neuro-Ophthalmologic Associates, PC, Byondis B.V., and others
• Key Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Therapies: GS010 (lenadogene nolparvovec), Elamipretide, GS010, Idebenone, RPh201, dalfampridine, BYON5667 & SYD985, and others
• The Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy market is expected to surge due to the disease's increasing prevalence and awareness during the forecast period. Furthermore, launching various multiple-stage Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy pipeline products will significantly revolutionize the Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy market dynamics.
• Shemesh et al. (2022) report that Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is considered the most common mitochondrial disorder, with prevalence rates ranging from 1 in 27,000 in North East England to 1 in 45,000 based on a European population meta-analysis. The condition predominantly affects males (80% to 90%) and typically begins between the ages of 15 and 35.
• According to NORD (2019), the prevalence of visual loss due to Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is roughly 1 in 50,000 individuals. While many carriers do not experience significant vision loss, males are approximately four to five times more likely than females to develop vision impairment from the condition.
• A national epidemiological survey on LHON in Japan by Takano et al. (2022) estimated that there were 69 new LHON diagnoses in 2019, with a total of approximately 2,400 LHON patients in the country. The prevalence of Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy in Japan is comparable to that observed in other countries.

Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy Overview
Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a rare, maternally inherited mitochondrial genetic disorder that primarily affects the optic nerves, leading to acute or subacute central vision loss. It is caused by point mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), most commonly in the MT-ND1, MT-ND4, or MT-ND6 genes, which impair oxidative phosphorylation and result in retinal ganglion cell degeneration. LHON predominantly manifests in young adult males, although females can also be affected, often with variable disease penetrance.
Clinically, LHON typically presents with painless, progressive vision loss in one eye, followed by the involvement of the fellow eye within weeks to months. Fundoscopic findings may include peripapillary telangiectatic microangiopathy, retinal nerve fiber layer swelling, and optic disc hyperemia. Over time, optic atrophy develops, leading to permanent visual impairment.
There is currently no definitive cure for LHON. Management focuses on supportive measures, visual rehabilitation, and, in some cases, pharmacological interventions such as idebenone, which aims to enhance mitochondrial function. Research into gene therapy and novel mitochondrial-targeted treatments is ongoing. Early diagnosis through genetic testing is crucial for risk assessment, counseling, and potential intervention. Understanding LHON's molecular mechanisms continues to guide therapeutic advancements and improve patient outcomes.

GS010 (Lenadogene Nolparvovec) - GenSight
GS010 is a gene therapy administered via a single intravitreal injection, targeting Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON). It employs GenSight's proprietary Mitochondrial Targeting Sequence (MTS) technology to deliver functional mitochondrial proteins into mitochondria, aiming to restore mitochondrial function. Two pivotal Phase III trials, RESCUE and REVERSE, were conducted across the US and Europe, with long-term follow-up ongoing. Positive efficacy data from the 96-week REVERSE assessment were reported in May 2019. GS010 holds Orphan Drug Designation in both the US and EU. Its European Marketing Authorization Application is under review, with a decision expected by Q3 2023.

Elamipretide - Stealth Biotherapeutics
Elamipretide is a cell-penetrating peptide that selectively binds cardiolipin within the inner mitochondrial membrane, restoring its structure and improving mitochondrial bioenergetics. Phase II clinical trials for LHON treatment have been completed, with ongoing studies in primary mitochondrial myopathy, Barth syndrome, and other indications. The FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to elamipretide for LHON in 2018, underscoring its potential as a novel mitochondrial-targeted therapy for this rare disorder.
