Some of the key facts of the Stargardt Disease Market Report:

*
The Stargardt Disease market size was valued ~USD 27 million in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a significant CAGR during the study period (2020-2034).

*
In January 2026, Ocugen, Inc. reported encouraging outcomes from its Phase 1 GARDian1 study of OCU410ST, an innovative gene therapy being developed for Stargardt disease, published in Nature Eye. The study showed a favorable safety and tolerability profile, along with meaningful clinical benefits over a 12-month period. Notably, treated patients experienced a 54% reduction in atrophic lesion progression and improvements in visual acuity. Unlike mutation-specific approaches, OCU410ST is designed to alter the underlying disease course, positioning it as a potentially transformative option for the more than 100,000 individuals affected across the U.S. and Europe, where no approved therapies currently exist. Meanwhile, the Phase 2/3 GARDian3 trial is progressing ahead of plan, with a Biologics License Application (BLA) submission targeted for 2027.

*
In December 2025, A Phase 3 study evaluating Belite Bio's tinlarebant in adolescents with a rare inherited eye disorder has achieved its primary endpoint, prompting the company to include the U.S. among the countries where it plans to seek approval next year. The trial enrolled 104 participants with Stargardt disease type 1 (STGD1), who were assigned to either tinlarebant or placebo. STGD1 leads to lesion formation in the retina and progressive central vision loss. Tinlarebant, an oral therapy, aims to limit the buildup of vitamin A-derived toxins that fuel the disease. The treatment produced a 35.7% reduction in lesion growth compared to placebo. A post hoc analysis accounting for disease progression showed similar outcomes, as did additional lesion-growth metrics.

*
In September 2025, VeonGen Therapeutics was granted FDA RMAT designation for VG801, a gene therapy designed to treat Stargardt disease and other ABCA4-related retinal disorders. VG801 employs a dual AAV vector along with the company's vgRNA REVeRT platform to deliver a functional ABCA4 gene using an engineered vgAAV capsid targeted to photoreceptor cells.

*
In August 2025, AAVantgarde Bio was granted FDA Fast Track Designation for AAVB-039, its advanced gene therapy targeting Stargardt disease caused by biallelic ABCA4 mutations. Additionally, the FDA has approved the IND application for AAVB-039, allowing the therapy to progress into clinical development.

Stargardt Disease Overview

Stargardt disease is a rare inherited eye disorder that causes progressive vision loss, primarily affecting the macula the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. It is most commonly caused by mutations in the ABCA4 gene, leading to the buildup of toxic fatty deposits in retinal cells. Symptoms typically begin in childhood or adolescence and may include blurred vision, difficulty seeing in low light, and loss of color perception. Over time, the condition can lead to significant central vision impairment, though peripheral vision is usually preserved. There is currently no cure, but several emerging therapies and gene treatments are under development.
