BioMarin Pharmaceutical has released new data from a four-year update of its Phase 1/2 trial for valoctocogene roxaparvovec, a gene therapy for severe hemophilia A, presented by Professor John Pasi. Results indicate a 95% reduction in Annualized Bleed Rate (ABR) to 0.8 from a baseline of 16.3 after four years. Notably, 86% of participants were bleed-free in the fourth year, and there was a 96% reduction in Factor VIII usage. The FDA is reviewing the therapy for approval, with a PDUFA date set for August 21, 2020. The safety profile remains consistent, with no severe adverse events reported.
