The ongoing development and approval of innovative therapies are transforming the management of Hunter syndrome.
One of the most notable advancements in the treatment of Hunter syndrome is the development of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). ERT involves the regular infusion of a synthetic enzyme to replace the deficient iduronate-2-sulfatase in patients.
This therapy has been shown to improve clinical outcomes, including reduced organ enlargement, improved respiratory function, and enhanced quality of life. The introduction of ERT has been a game-changer in the management of Hunter syndrome, driving the growth of the treatment market.
Additionally, hematopoietic stem cell therapy is another advanced treatment option for Hunter syndrome. HSCT involves the transplantation of healthy stem cells that can produce the missing enzyme.
While this procedure is complex and associated with significant risks, it has the potential to provide lasting therapeutic benefits. Ongoing research and improvements in HSCT techniques are enhancing its safety and efficacy, contributing to its role as a growth driver in the market.
