On October 14, 2020, Health Canada announced their approval of the first sight-restoring treatment voretigene neparvovec (brand name: Luxturna). This is the f...irst targeted gene therapy approved in Canada for any disease. This treatment is specifically for individuals with the inherited blinding eye diseases retinitis pigmentosa (RP) or Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) resulting from mutations in the RPE65 gene that leads to vision loss and eventually blindness. Lives will be transformed in Canada because of approval of this ground-breaking treatment. For the first time, it means we have a treatment option bringing hope to families affected by genetic mutations causing blindness and to everyone in the vision loss community. While this treatment has been approved by Health Canada, families are eagerly awaiting recommendations from CADTH and the INESSS for coverage in provincial drug benefit programs later this fall. People with vision loss due to the RPE65 mutation for the first time in history have a chance for improved vision. And now, it’s the provincial governments turn. Health Canada’s approval of the treatment will not mean much if Canadian families can’t afford to access it. We are calling on the provinces to fund this ground-breaking treatment for Canadian families in need.
