Sensorion and EVEON announce they have been collaborating to design and develop an injection system for the delivery of Sensorion's gene therapy products to the inner ear, including OTOF-GT product candidate. Therapies for treating genetic hearing loss are often challenging due to the need for delivery into the inner ear, a very small and delicate organ embedded in the temporal bone. As part of the collaboration, EVEON and Sensorion have been exploring ways to optimise the delivery of gene therapies for improved efficacy and potential patient experience which supports Sensorion's gene therapy programs development.

Sensorion is pursuing two gene therapy programs aimed at correcting hereditary monogenic forms of deafness including OTOF-GT, targeting deafness caused by mutations of the gene encoding for otoferlin, and hearing loss related to mutations in GJB2 gene to potentially address important hearing loss segments in adults and children (GJB2-GT).
