Brentuximab vedotin, also known as Adcetris®, is an antibody-drug conjugate that combines an anti-CD30 antibody with the drug monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE). It is an anti-neoplastic agent used in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma and systemic anaplastic large-cell lymphoma. Brentuximab vedotin was initially approved in 2011. In January 2012, the drug label was revised with a boxed warning of a condition known as progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy and death due to opportunistic JC virus infection post-treatment. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Adcetris in March 2018 to treat adult patients with previously untreated stage III or IV classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) in combination with chemotherapy. Adcetris has also been previously approved by the FDA to treat Hodgkin's lymphoma after relapse, Hodg
Onasemnogene abeparvovec is an adeno-associated virus vector-based gene therapy that has been approved by the FDA in May 2019 for the treatment of infant patients (less than 2 years of age) with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and a specific mutation in the survival motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene. SMA is a rare genetic disease that affects the survival and function of motor neurons, leading to debilitating and often fatal muscle weakness. As there is no cure for SMA, onasemnogene abeparvovec is a disease-modifying agent that decelerates the disease progression, improves motor function, and manages the symptoms. The use and effectiveness of onasemnogene abeparvovec in patients with advanced SMA, such as those with complete paralysis of the limbs and permanent dependence on ventilators, has not been evaluated. Onasemnogene abeparvovec is the first gene therapy that was approved for this indication in the USA. [Nusinersen] is another gene therapy that is currently approved by the FDA for the treatment of SMA in pediatric and adult patients. Developed by AveXis, a Novartis company, onasemnogene abeparvovec is commonly marketed as Zolgensma®, which is available as a single-dose intravenous infusion. Onasemnogene abeparvovec for therapeutic use and marketing is currently being assessed by the EU and an intrathecal formulation of the drug is currently undergoing clinical development in the USA.
