Lenmeldy: which risks did reviewers probe?
atidarsagene autotemcel · ARSA (LVV, ex vivo HSC)
Immune & cytokine safety
No anti-ARSA antibodies or adverse neurobehavioral effects in mice; anti-ARSA antibodies in 15% of patients clinically
“No development of anti-ARSA antibodies or adverse neurobehavioral effects were observed in As2-/- mice transplanted with ARSA LVV-transduced mHSPCs.”
Biodistribution & persistence
Engrafts BM, spleen, thymus, liver; lower levels in brain; integrated LVV persists stably; shedding risk low
“In addition to the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, and liver, transduced human cells were also detected at lower levels in the mouse brain, demonstrating migration of the transduced cells into target organs.”
Modality-specific risk
Insertional mutagenesis/oncogenesis of LVV; none seen in tumor-prone mouse (SIN vector); conditioning-related toxicity
“Libmeldy-related LV showed no considerable insertional transformation potential in the tumour-prone mice, which is most likely due to the absence of active LTRs (i.e. LV is self-inactivating).”
