Adeno‐associated virus (AAV) vector‐based gene therapy is an innovative modality being increasingly investigated to treat diseases by modifying or replacing defective genes or expressing therapeutic entities. With its unique anatomic and physiological characteristics, the eye constitutes a very attractive target for gene therapy. Specifically, the ocular space is easily accessible and is generally considered “immune‐privileged” with a low risk of systemic side effects following local drug administration. As retina cells have limited cellular turnover, a one‐time gene delivery has the potential to provide long‐term transgene expression. Despite the initial success with voretigene neparvovec (Luxturna), the first approved retina gene therapy, there are still challenges to be overcome for successful clinical development of these products and scientific questions to be answered. The current review paper aims to integrate published experience learned thus far for AAV‐based retina gene therapy related to preclinical to clinical translation; first‐in‐human dose selection; relevant bioanalytical assays and strategies; clinical development considerations including trial design, biodistribution and vector shedding, immunogenicity, transgene expression, and pediatric populations; opportunities for model‐informed drug development; and regulatory perspectives. The information presented herein is intended to serve as a guide to inform the clinical development strategy for retina gene therapy with a focus on clinical pharmacology.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool that harnesses anthropomorphic knowledge and provides expedited solutions to complex challenges. Remarkable advancements in AI technology and machine learning present a transformative opportunity in the drug discovery, formulation, and testing of pharmaceutical dosage forms. By utilizing AI algorithms that analyze extensive biological data, including genomics and proteomics, researchers can identify disease-associated targets and predict their interactions with potential drug candidates. This enables a more efficient and targeted approach to drug discovery, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful drug approvals. Furthermore, AI can contribute to reducing development costs by optimizing research and development processes. Machine learning algorithms assist in experimental design and can predict the pharmacokinetics and toxicity of drug candidates. This capability enables the prioritization and optimization of lead compounds, reducing the need for extensive and costly animal testing. Personalized medicine approaches can be facilitated through AI algorithms that analyze real-world patient data, leading to more effective treatment outcomes and improved patient adherence. This comprehensive review explores the wide-ranging applications of AI in drug discovery, drug delivery dosage form designs, process optimization, testing, and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) studies. This review provides an overview of various AI-based approaches utilized in pharmaceutical technology, highlighting their benefits and drawbacks. Nevertheless, the continued investment in and exploration of AI in the pharmaceutical industry offer exciting prospects for enhancing drug development processes and patient care.
