Libmeldy: Ex vivo autologous HSC gene therapy for early-onset MLD

Libmeldy is an autologous haematopoietic stem cell (HSC) gene therapy product for early-onset MLD made specifically for each patient using the patient’s own blood stem cells.1

What is MLD?

What is MLD?

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare, inherited, neurometabolic disease that causes rapid and progressive demyelination and neurodegeneration, leading to severe neurological disability and death.2 MLD is caused by mutations in the arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene which lead to ARSA enzyme deficiency.1

How can Libmeldy help?

How can Libmeldy help?

Libmeldy is indicated for the treatment of children with early-onset MLD. CD34+ cells are transduced ex vivo with a lentiviral vector encoding ARSA cDNA. It is an autologous gene therapy, meaning a patient’s own stem cells are genetically corrected by inserting a functional copy of the ARSA gene and these are returned to their body.1
