RESUMEN
The emergence of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy has brought hope to patients with severe monogenic disorders. However, immune responses to AAV vectors and transgene products present challenges that require effective immunosuppressive strategies. This systematic review focuses on the immunosuppressive protocols employed in 38 clinical trials and 35 real-world studies, considering a range of monogenic diseases, AAV serotypes, and administration routes. The review underscores the need for a deeper understanding of immunosuppressive regimens to enhance the safety and effectiveness of AAV-based gene therapy. Characterizing the immunological responses associated with various gene therapy treatments is crucial for optimizing treatment protocols and ensuring the safety and efficacy of forthcoming gene therapy interventions. Further research and understanding of the impact of immunosuppression on disease, therapy, and route of administration will contribute to the development of more effective and safer gene therapy approaches in the future.
