Precigen, Inc. (PGEN) announced that the FDA has granted priority review to its biologics license application (BLA) for PRGN-2012 (zopapogene imadenovec), an investigational AdenoVerse gene therapy for treating adults with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP).
The FDA set a PDUFA target action date of August 27, 2025, with no advisory committee meeting currently planned. If approved, PRGN-2012 would become the first and only FDA-approved therapy for RRP, a rare and devastating chronic disease caused by HPV 6 or HPV 11 infection.
The BLA is supported by pivotal Phase 1/2 clinical study data showing impressive results:
- Over 50% of patients achieved Complete Response
- More than 85% experienced decreased surgical interventions
- Some patients have remained surgery-free for over three years
- The treatment was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events
RRP currently has no cure, with patients relying on repeated surgeries that don't address the underlying cause and can lead to cumulative laryngeal injury. The US adult RRP patient population is estimated at more than 27,000.
Precigen (PGEN) has completed its BLA submission for PRGN-2012, potentially the first FDA-approved treatment for Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis (RRP). The company starts 2025 with approximately $100 million cash on-hand and runway extending well into 2026, beyond the anticipated launch in second half of 2025.
The market opportunity for PRGN-2012 includes approximately 27,000 adult RRP patients in the US and over 125,000 patients ex-US. The therapy has shown promising results with over 50% of patients achieving Complete Response and more than 85% experiencing decreased surgical interventions in clinical trials.
The company sees significant potential in expanding their AdenoVerse platform to other HPV-related conditions, including genital warts (4+ million annual global incidence) and HPV16/18-driven cancers. Manufacturing readiness is progressing with a 100% success rate to date at their in-house commercial facility.
