Sanfilippo syndrome type A, also known as MPS IIIA, is a lysosomal storage disease that leads to severe neurodegeneration, with symptoms typically emerging in early childhood. The disease is estimated to affect between 3,000 and 5,000 patients in areas with market access and has a median life expectancy of 15 years. It is caused by mutations in the SGSH gene, which result in the accumulation of heparan sulfate and subsequent cell damage.
The BLA for UX111 is underpinned by data from the ongoing Transpher A study, which indicates that treatment with UX111 leads to a rapid and sustained decrease in cerebrospinal fluid heparan sulfate levels. This reduction correlates with improved cognitive development outcomes when compared to natural disease progression.
UX111 has been designed as a one-time intravenous infusion using a self-complementary AAV9 vector that delivers a functional copy of the SGSH gene to cells. The therapy aims to address the underlying enzyme deficiency responsible for the disease's progression.
The FDA's acceptance of cerebrospinal fluid heparan sulfate as a biomarker for accelerated approval was a significant milestone for Ultragenyx. This decision followed discussions and data presentations at a workshop hosted by the Reagan-Udall Foundation for the FDA in February 2024.
