Competitive Landscape
Passage Bio competes in the crowded CNS gene therapy space against both large pharma and biotech peers. In FTD-GRN, competitors include other gene therapy (e.g., Prevail/Eli Lilly) and antisense oligonucleotide approaches. In GM1, it faces Lysogene and others, with differentiation hinging on safety, efficacy, and delivery method.
