Exciting News in Immunotherapy! The FDA has just approved Lymphir™ by Citius Pharmaceuticals. LYMPHIRTM (Denileukin Diftitox-cxdl, E7777), is a purified reformulation of denileukin diftitox, a previously FDA-approved cancer immunotherapy for the treatment of persistent or recurrent cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL), a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Improvements to the original formulation resulted in a therapy that maintains the same amino acid sequence but features greater purity and bioactivity and has been approved for use with relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (R/R CTCL). The approval is based on a robust multicenter study, showing a 36.2% overall response rate with significant skin disease reduction. LYMPHIR is the only CTCL therapy that targets the IL-2 receptor, and it’s expected to be available within the next five months. Citius plans to further explore the potential of LYMPHIRTM to treat larger patient populations with additional indications in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) and immuno-oncology. LYMPHIRTM has been granted orphan drug designation (ODD) by the FDA for the treatment of CTCL and PTCL At Symphony Benefits Solution, we are committed to helping your organization navigate the complexities and costs of innovative treatments like this.

Significant Advancement in DMD Treatment by Sarepta Therapeutics! While Pfizer's Phase 3 CIFFREO trial for DMD therapy faced setbacks, last Thursday marked a positive shift with Sarepta's ELEVIDYS label receiving FDA approval, expanding treatment options significantly. Previously, only DMD boys between aged 4 and 5 were FDA approved to receive the therapy, and now, all young DMD boys and men aged 4 and above will have access per the FDA expansion. In addition, previously, there were strict ambulatory restrictions whereby if the child required assistance with ambulation, they were excluded from having access, whereby, now, this milestone FDA expansion includes full approval for non-wheelchair-dependent patients and accelerated approval for those who are wheelchair-dependent. Despite initial challenges, secondary clinical trial results demonstrating improved motor functions supported this decision, bringing renewed hope to families affected by this devastating disease. We anticipate many DMD boys who were denied access over the past year, may now meet guidelines for access to this potentially life-changing treatment option per the FDA expansion. Symphony Benefit Solutions is staying on top of developing stories like this in the gene and cell therapy arena. We are excited for the 7/1 launch of our fully integrated program, which will tackle high-cost gene and cell therapy treatments while remaining at the forefront of this rapidly changing environment. Reach out to us to learn more about how Symphony Benefits Solution can help at [email protected] This development highlights the continued progress and breakthroughs in the fight against DMD. #DMD #GeneTherapy #SareptaTherapeutics #FDAApproval #MedicalBreakthrough #SymphonyBenefitSolutions

The recent failure of Pfizer's late-stage trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) gene therapy marks a significant setback for patients but opens the door for competitors like Sarepta Therapeutics. Pfizer’s gene therapy did not improve motor function in young boys and follows a similar setback for Sarepta’s Elevidys. Despite this, Sarepta remains optimistic, citing positive secondary outcomes and ongoing FDA support. As the biotech landscape evolves, Symphony Benefits Solution is positioned to be a steadfast resource in the gene and cell therapy space, offering the latest insights and support for advancements in these critical therapies. Stay informed with Symphony Benefits Solution for all your gene therapy updates and needs. https://lnkd.in/gr-fpZM4
