Ongoing Research And Development By Key Players To Foster The Growth Of The Adrenoleukodystrophy Drugs Market
Adrenoleukodystrophy, sometimes called adrenal dysfunction or adrenal hyperplasia, is a serious genetic disorder that causes the accumulation of long, skinny chain fatty acids (VLDFAs) in your brain. When VLDFas stack up over the critical myelin sheaths surrounding nerve fibers, they cause devastating damage to the brain. This may lead to impairments in learning and memory, sensory perception, endocrine system, cardiovascular system, muscular system, and immunity. It is estimated that approximately 1 million Americans suffer from this debilitating condition.
Several genes are involved in the development of adrenoleukodystrophy, including the genes encoding the protein receptor cells that respond to VLDFas. Some people with a form of this disease have a mutation at the receptor gene that inhibits the activity of VLDFas, leaving the receptors unresponsive to insulin and therefore not responding to the growth hormone. The other type of Adrenoleukodystrophy develops when someone has an inherited defect that results in the extra production of the enzyme associated with insulin release.
Increasing investment in the field of development of a drug for the rare genetic disorder is uplifting the growth of the adrenoleukodystrophy drugs market. For instance, in May 2020, SwanBio Therapeutics, a developer of biological therapeutics, announced that they have raised US$ 52 million for the advancement of their viral-based gene therapy for adrenomyeloneuropathy. Moreover, the growing focus of key players in the research and development of treatments for adrenoleukodystrophy is further propelling the growth of the adrenoleukodystrophy drug market.
Key operating players in the global adrenoleukodystrophy drugs market are Applied Genetic Technologies Corporation, MedDay SA, Bluebird bio, Inc., Minoryx Therapeutics S.L, ReceptoPharm Inc., Pfizer Inc., SOM Innovation Biotech, S.A, SwanBio Therapeutics, and Viking Therapeutics, Inc.
North America is expected to dominate the global adrenoleukodystrophy drugs market and this is attributed to the increasing focus of pharmaceutical companies to develop advanced therapies for adrenoleukodystrophy. For instance, in 2019, Magneta Therapeutics received approval for MGTA-456 regenerative medicine advance therapy designation for the treatment of adrenoleukodystrophy from the U.S Food Drug and Administration.
Key Developments:
1 In February 2017, Minoryx Therapeutics, a drug development company specialized in the discovery and development of new drugs for orphan diseases announces that its lead compound MIN-102 has been granted Orphan Drug Designation by the US Food and Drug Administration body (FDA). MIN-102 targets X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), a rare and chronically debilitating life-threatening neurodegenerative disease.
2 in January 2020, Minoryx Therapeutics, a company that specialized in the innovation of drugs for central nervous system conditions, received approval for a lead drug candidate, leriglitazone (MIN-102), for treatment of all forms of x- adrenoleukodystrophy
