Potentially curative gene therapies are among a number of exciting new sickle cell disease (SCD) drugs set to hit the US market, according to data and analytics company GlobalData.

One of the gene therapies that is currently closest to entering the market - bluebird bio's (Nasdaq: BLUE) bb1111(lovotibeglogene autotemcel) - is projected to represent over a quarter of total sales within the space by 2030, though the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has placed the clinical program for the drug on partial clinical hold for patients under the age of 18.

Meanwhile, Droxia (hydroxycarbamide), a treatment from Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) that once was the only approved drug for 20 years, will be drowned out by the newcomers, GlobalData predicts.
