Patients & Caregivers
Patients with rare diseases are our North Star. Our constant reminder that keeps us centered on our path to seeking cures through gene therapy. Only by understanding their journey can we move forward in ours.
Living with a rare disease is much more than just a physical fight. It involves fighting misconceptions, finding informed and compassionate caregivers, and seeking accurate information about available treatment options. Rocket is an ardent advocate for the rare disease community. By committing to raising awareness and contributing to public education on a higher level, we’re also aiming to ensure patients and their loved ones gain access to information and resources that will help connect and empower them.
Clinical Trials
We are purposefully focused on patient communities and conditions with devastating, life-long effects, and little to no treatment options, studying ways to correct the disease at the genetic level to enable people to live long and full lives. The diseases we are pursuing in ongoing clinical studies include:
