Sangamo initiates rolling submission of BLA to U.S. FDA for ST-920

Sangamo (SGMO) Therapeutics has initiated a rolling submission of a BLA to the FDA seeking accelerated approval of isaralgagene civaparvovec, or ST-920, a wholly owned investigational gene therapy for the treatment of adults with Fabry disease. Rolling submission allows for completed modules of the BLA to be submitted and reviewed by the FDA on an ongoing basis rather than waiting for the entire BLA to be submitted at once. “The initiation of our BLA submission marks an important milestone for Sangamo and for Fabry patients in need,” said Nathalie Dubois-Stringfellow, Ph.D., Sangamo’s Chief Development Officer. “The compelling data from our STAAR study shows the potential of ST-920 to provide safe and long-lasting clinical benefits to a wide range of Fabry disease patients. We look forward to working with the FDA as we continue to advance the regulatory process.”
