Renovacor

Post in 2021
Renovacor, Inc. is a preclinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in Philadelphia that specializes in developing gene therapies for cardiovascular diseases. Founded in 2013, Renovacor is focused on addressing dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a condition that affects over 3 million individuals in the United States. The company's lead program utilizes a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) to create a gene therapy targeting patients with DCM caused by mutations in the Bcl2-associated athanogene 3 (BAG3) gene. This specific genetic mutation is estimated to affect around 35,000 individuals in the U.S. and a similar number in Europe, representing an orphan disease as defined by FDA guidelines. Patients with BAG3 mutations tend to be younger and experience a faster progression to advanced heart failure compared to those with ischemic heart disease. Currently, these patients receive standard heart failure treatments, but the five-year survival rate remains at only 50%. Renovacor aims to develop a BAG3 gene replacement therapy that could prevent disease progression in this vulnerable population.
