๐Ÿ‘ Adverum Biotechnologies has received the FDAโ€™s Regenerative Medicine Advanced Therapy (RMAT) designation for its gene therapy, lxoberogene soroparvovec (Ixo-vec), aimed at treating wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This designation is based on promising early clinical data and could expedite the therapyโ€™s development. Ixo-vec, which uses Adverumโ€™s proprietary AAV.7m8 vector technology, has already shown potential in reducing treatment burden and maintaining vision. The company plans to continue its collaboration with regulators, with updates expected later this year.
