Orchard Therapeutics Issues Updates On Gene Therapy Programs

Orchard Therapeutics plc ORTX has provided updates on the progress of its lead gene therapy programs targeting metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), mucopolysaccharidosis type I Hurler syndrome (MPS-IH), and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS).
After receiving feedback from the FDA, the company expects to file a marketing application for OTL-200 in pre-symptomatic, early-onset MLD in late 2022 or early 2023.
