Sept 17 (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical’s gene therapy, making it the first approved treatment for a rare and fatal childhood disease. The therapy, branded as Fayuvi, was approved for pediatric patients with Sanfilippo syndrome Type A, an inherited condition that progressively damages the brain and nervous system. The disease is caused by a deficiency of an enzyme called sulfamidase, leading to an abnormal accumulation of a complex sugar molecule known as heparan sulfate in the body and brain. This toxic buildup causes children to gradually lose cognitive, speech, and motor skills. Ultragenyx shares were up over 10% in afternoon trading. Administered as a single intravenous infusion, the gene therapy delivers a functional copy of the SGSH gene into cells, enabling the body to produce sulfamidase and clear the damaging buildup. "She’s never had a seizure, she is not on a feeding tube, she is not in a wheelchair, she goes to school, she swims in the pool ... we have seen those kind of differences grow in the abilities and quality of life our daughter has been able to maintain versus what would be expected for this disease." Ultragenyx expects Fayuvi to be available at specialized U.S. treatment centers within 30 to 60 days. US FDA approves Ultragenyx’s gene therapy for rare disorder In trials, children treated with the therapy maintained or improved cognitive function compared with untreated patients, according to the FDA. Glenn O’Neill, president and co-founder of nonprofit Cure Sanfilippo Foundation, whose daughter Eliza was diagnosed in 2013, said the approval means "real hope and a real life-changing chance to have a different outcome than the traditional course of this disease, a better future for their children, a better quality of life."

CSL Canada is proud to recognize this important milestone of the first Canadian patient to receive HEMGENIX® , the one-time gene therapy treatment for eligible patients living with hemophilia B, at... This milestone marks a significant advancement in hemophilia B care, reflecting how clinical innovation and health system collaboration are enabling real-world access to gene therapy for eligible patients in ... Hemophilia B is a rare genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of clotting Factor IX, which prevents blood from clotting properly, often resulting in a lifelong dependence on medication to manage bleeding.2 People living with hemophilia B may experience spontaneous or prolonged bleeding episodes that can lead to joint damage, chronic pain, reduced mobility, and other long-term complications that affect quality of life.3 "Gene therapy introduces a new approach to treatment, and delivering it requires close coordination across clinical teams and systems. It's encouraging to see this level of readiness translating into real-world care for eligible patients." CSL Canada continues to advance innovation and is working to help ensure all eligible Canadians can access and benefit from advances in hemophilia care and innovation. About Hemophilia B Hemophilia B is a life-threatening rare disease. This milestone marks the first HEMGENIX® treatment administered to a Canadian patient outside of a clinical trial, demonstrating real‑world access to gene therapy in People with the condition are particularly vulnerable to bleeds in their joints, muscles, and internal organs, leading to pain, swelling, and joint damage.6 The constant worry of a bleed means that their daily activities can be restricted, even for things as simple as going up and down stairs.6-8 Current treatments for moderate to severe hemophilia B include life-long prophylactic infusions of Factor IX to temporarily replace or supplement low levels of the blood-clotting factor.6 Many people with hemophilia find themselves continually confronted with the mental and emotional impact of managin
Both Seaport Therapeutics and Hemab Therapeutics are hoping to bring in around $180 million each from their public listings this week, in the latest sign that biotech IPOs are regaining momentum. Both Seaport and Hemab are hoping to bring in around $180 million from their listings, in the latest sign that biotech IPOs are regaining momentum. The biotech has already tested sutacimig in Glanzmann thrombasthenia, a rare genetic bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency of the platelet integrin alpha IIb beta3, which prevents blood from properly clotting. Hemab has previously pointed to phase 2 study as demonstrating that sutacimig achieved clinically meaningful bleeding reduction in these patients. The IPO funds would help finance a phase 3 study in Glanzmann thrombasthenia, as well as an ongoing phase 2 trial in another bleeding disorder called Factor VII deficiency. Should the final share price fall in the middle of this range, the biotech expects the IPO to bring in $183.5 million in net proceeds—rising to $211.4 million if underwriters fully take up their 30-day offer to buy an additional 1.77 million shares at the same price. The biotech employs 58 people and was originally assembled by PureTech Health—where Zohar was previously CEO—and supplied with $100 million when it launched in the spring of 2024. Seaport followed that up with a $225 million series B a few months later. Out of the $325 million raised to date, Seaport entered 2026 with a hefty chunk of funds—$233.7 million, to be precise—still intact. When combining these funds with the IPO proceeds, Seaport said today that it has earmarked $121 million to advance its lead depression candidate SPT-300, also known as GlyphAllo.
