Extended Protection for Innovative Gene-Targeted Drugs

This act extends the protection period for new, advanced gene-targeted drugs, potentially encouraging companies to invest in their development. For citizens, this could mean greater access to innovative therapies in the future, but also a longer wait before generic versions of these drugs become available.
Key points
The protection period for certain advanced gene-targeted drugs will be extended from 7 to 11 years.
This change applies to drugs using gene-targeting technologies that can modulate gene function.
The aim is to support research and development of new, groundbreaking gene therapies.
