Elivaldogene autotemcel, sold under the brand name Skysona, is a gene therapy used to treat cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD).[3] It is being developed by Bluebird bio.

Elivaldogene autotemcel is made specifically for each recipient, using the recipient's hematopoietic stem cells.[4]

History

Elivaldogene autotemcel was designated an orphan drug by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2012.[5]

Elivaldogene autotemcel was granted orphan drug, rare pediatric disease, and breakthrough therapy designations by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[6] In September 2022, elivaldogene autotemcel was granted accelerated approval.[7]

On 20 May 2021, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended the granting of a marketing authorization for elivaldogene autotemcel.[8][4] The applicant was Bluebird Bio (Netherlands) B.V.[4] In July 2021, the European Commission approved elivaldogene autotemcel under the tradename Skysona for CALD patients who have certain genetic mutations and don't have a sibling who is a match for a stem cell transplant.[9]
