Ultragenyx submits BLA to FDA for UX111 gene therapy in Sanfilippo syndrome type A
Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc.
- Submitted BLA to FDA seeking accelerated approval for UX111 (AAV gene therapy) in Sanfilippo syndrome type A (MPS IIIA).
- BLA supported by Transpher A study: rapid, sustained CSF heparan sulfate reduction correlated with improved cognitive development vs. natural history.
- Most common adverse events were liver enzyme elevations; majority mild/moderate (Grade 1/2), all resolved.
- In 2024, FDA agreed CSF heparan sulfate can serve as surrogate endpoint for accelerated approval.
