About Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc., operating alongside its affiliates, is an innovative biotechnology enterprise dedicated to pioneering gene therapies for rare and severely debilitating diseases. The company's active clinical pipeline features multiple promising programs. It is currently progressing three ex vivo lentiviral vector therapies aimed at specific genetic conditions: Fanconi anemia, characterized by a bone marrow defect that hinders blood cell production; leukocyte adhesion deficiency-I, an inherited disorder resulting in a compromised immune system; and pyruvate kinase deficiency, a rare autosomal recessive red blood cell ailment leading to chronic non-spherocytic hemolytic anemia. Complementing these, Rocket Pharmaceuticals also has an in vivo adeno-associated virus program underway for Danon disease, a serious multi-organ lysosomal storage disorder that tragically often results in early mortality due to heart failure. To facilitate its extensive research and development efforts, the company has established key licensing partnerships with esteemed institutions such as the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, European research bodies including CIEMAT and its collaborators (Centro de Investigacion Biomedica En Red and Fundacion Instituto de investigacion Sanitaria Fundacion Jimenez Diaz), UCL Business PLC (in conjunction with CIEMAT), The Regents of the University of California, and REGENXBIO, Inc. Rocket Pharmaceuticals, Inc. maintains its primary corporate location in Cranbury, New Jersey.
