REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: ADVM), a clinical-stage company that aims to establish gene therapy as a new standard of care for highly prevalent ocular diseases, today announced that the United Kingdom’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has granted Ixo-vec (ixoberogene soroparvovec), an investigational gene therapy for the treatment of wet AMD, an Innovation Passport under the Innovative Licensing and Access Pathway (ILAP). The Innovation Passport is the first step in the ILAP process, triggering the MHRA and its partner agencies, including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the National Health Service (NHS) England, to partner with Adverum to charter a roadmap for regulatory and development milestones with the goal of early patient access in the United Kingdom (U.K.)

Key Points: 
  • The OPTIC data indicates a greater than 80% reduction in annualized anti-VEGF injections with more than 50% of the trial subjects being supplemental injection-free at two years post-treatment with Ixo-vec, which data is suggestive of a functional cure,” commented Laurent Fischer, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Adverum Biotechnologies.
  • “The current standard of care in wet AMD, requires frequent anti-VEGF injections in the eye that can be a lifelong burden for many patients and their caregivers.
  • We believe Ixo-vec has the potential to provide an in-office treatment option that is durable and safe, provides cost-savings, and addresses the needs of wet AMD patients and their families, retina specialists and health systems worldwide.
  • We look forward to leveraging the benefits of ILAP designation, as we continue our development of Ixo-vec.”
    “The ILAP designation grants us enhanced regulatory and market access interactions and a potentially faster path towards approval in the U.K. Ixo-vec has already received Fast Track Designation by the FDA and PRIME designation by the EMA,” said Star Seyedkazemi, PharmD, chief development officer of Adverum Biotechnologies.
