The therapeutic landscape for GM2 gangliosidosis-a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder that includes Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases-is experiencing increasing innovation, with the development pipeline focusing on disease-modifying and potentially curative treatments. GM2 gangliosidosis results from mutations in the β-hexosaminidase A and/or B enzymes, causing harmful accumulation of GM2 gangliosides in neurons and leading to progressive neurodegeneration. Despite the disease's severity, current treatment options are mostly supportive, underscoring a critical unmet need for effective therapies.

Biopharmaceutical firms and academic institutions are advancing diverse novel strategies such as gene therapies, enzyme replacement therapies, substrate reduction therapies, and pharmacological chaperones. Companies like Sanofi, Sio Gene Therapies, IntraBio Inc., Taysha Gene Therapies, and JCR Pharmaceuticals are at the forefront, developing experimental candidates aimed at restoring enzyme function or decreasing the buildup of toxic substrates.

Key Highlights from the GM2 Gangliosidosis Pipeline Report

• Prominent players in the GM2 gangliosidosis space include Sanofi, Sio Gene Therapies, IntraBio Inc., Taysha Gene Therapies, JCR Pharmaceuticals, Azafaros B.V., Allievex Corp., Recursion, Polaryx, among others, all advancing their leading drug candidates to enhance treatment options.
• Notable pipeline therapies under development at various stages include Venglustat, AXO-AAV-GM2, IB1001, TSHA-101, JR-479, AZ-3102, AX 451, PLX-300, and additional candidates.
• In July 2025, Azafaros, a company focused on developing treatments for the unmet needs of patients with rare lysosomal storage disorders, today announced that the first patient has been dosed in the company's pivotal, multicenter Phase 3 clinical program to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the company's lead asset, nizubaglustat, in patients with Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) and GM1/GM2 gangliosidoses.
• In January 2025, Azafaros B.V. announced that its lead compound, nizubaglustat, received orphan drug designation from both the U.S. FDA and the European Union for GM1 gangliosidosis. The company's Clinical Trial Application (CTA) for two global Phase 3 studies evaluating the drug's efficacy in GM1/GM2 gangliosidoses and Niemann-Pick Type C (NPC) was approved by multiple European regulators, with trials scheduled to commence in Q2 2025.

GM2 Gangliosidosis Overview:
GM2 Gangliosidosis is a group of rare, inherited lysosomal storage disorders that primarily include Tay-Sachs disease and Sandhoff disease. These conditions result from genetic mutations affecting the enzymes β-hexosaminidase A and/or B, which are essential for breaking down GM2 gangliosides-a type of fatty substance-in nerve cells. When these enzymes are deficient or dysfunctional, GM2 gangliosides accumulate excessively within neurons, leading to progressive neurodegeneration.

The disease typically manifests in infancy or early childhood with symptoms such as muscle weakness, loss of motor skills, vision and hearing impairment, seizures, and cognitive decline. As the disorder progresses, affected individuals experience severe neurological deterioration, often resulting in premature death.

Currently, treatment options for GM2 Gangliosidosis are limited and largely supportive, focusing on symptom management and improving quality of life. There are no approved disease-modifying therapies yet, which emphasizes the urgent need for novel treatments.

Ongoing research is exploring various therapeutic approaches, including gene therapy, enzyme replacement, substrate reduction therapy, and pharmacological chaperones, aimed at addressing the underlying enzyme deficiencies. Despite the challenges posed by the disease's rarity and complexity, advances in biotechnology and genetic medicine offer hope for more effective and potentially curative treatments in the future.

GM2 Gangliosidosis Treatment Overview: Drug Profiles

Venglustat - Sanofi
Venglustat is an oral inhibitor of glucosylceramide synthase (GCS), an enzyme responsible for converting ceramide into glucosylceramide (GL-1) during lipid metabolism. GL-1 subsequently forms globosides like Gb3, which accumulate in diseases such as Fabry disease due to α-galactosidase A deficiency. By blocking GCS, venglustat lowers GL-1 levels, helping to prevent Gb3 buildup. Currently, venglustat is undergoing Phase III clinical trials for the treatment of GM2 gangliosidoses.

AXO-AAV-GM2 - Sio Gene Therapies
AXO-AAV-GM2 is an investigational gene therapy targeting GM2 gangliosidosis, including Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff diseases-severe, inherited pediatric neurodegenerative disorders caused by mutations in the HEXA or HEXB genes. These mutations result in deficient β-hexosaminidase A (HexA) enzyme activity, causing progressive neurodegeneration. The therapy delivers functional copies of both genes using two co-administered AAVrh8 viral vectors to restore HexA function. AXO-AAV-GM2 has received FDA Orphan Drug, Rare Pediatric Disease, and Fast Track designations. It is currently the only gene therapy in development for all pediatric forms of GM2 gangliosidosis. In 2018, Sio acquired global rights from UMass Chan Medical School for developing and commercializing gene therapies for GM1 and GM2 gangliosidoses.
