About 7,000 rare diseases exist, and roughly 95% still lack an approved treatment, but that gap does not lower approval standards. New entrants without an FDA track record, CMC depth, or clinical data know-how face a clear delay and cost disadvantage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-green-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntellectual property protection\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-green-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStoke Therapeutics, Inc. sits behind a broad patent wall around its TANGO approach, so would-be entrants cannot copy the platform fast without risking infringement claims or long legal fights. That raises the cost of entry and slows follow-on programs, especially for RNA-targeting drugs where IP scopes are heavily contested. In practice, strong IP makes imitation harder and gives Stoke more room to defend its lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"lst_crct\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatent risk slows copycats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLitigation risk raises entry costs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTANGO is harder to replicate quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbutton class=\"get_full_prdct_green\" onclick=\"get_full()\"\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-box-green-section4\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title-row-green-section\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialized commercialization challenge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-row-green-section blur_box\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs of FY2025, Stoke Therapeutics is still precommercial, so any entrant must first win over specialists, patient groups, and payers before revenue starts.
