The most common side effects include complications related to the intravenous line, fever, respiratory infections, vomiting, gastroenteritis, and diarrhea.[2]
Fosdenopterin was approved for medical use in the United States in February 2021,[4] It is the first medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A.[2] and in the European Union in September 2022.[3] The US Food and Drug Administration considers it to be a first-in-class medication.[5]
Medical uses
Fosdenopterin is indicated to reduce the risk of mortality in people with molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) type A.[1][2]
Mechanism of action
People with molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A cannot produce cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP) in their body.[2] Fosdenopterin is an intravenous medication that replaces the missing cPMP.[2][6] cPMP is a precursor to molybdopterin, which is required for the enzyme activity of sulfite oxidase, xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase and aldehyde oxidase.[7]
History
Fosdenopterin was developed at the German universities TU Braunschweig and the University of Cologne.[8][9]
The effectiveness of fosdenopterin for the treatment of MoCD-A was demonstrated in thirteen treated participants compared to eighteen matched, untreated participants.[2][10] The participants treated with fosdenopterin had a survival rate of 84% at three years, compared to 55% for the untreated participants.[2]
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the application for fosdenopterin priority review, breakthrough therapy, and orphan drug designations along with a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher.[2][5] The FDA granted the approval of Nulibry to Origin Biosciences, Inc., in February 2021.[2]
Society and culture
Legal status
On 21 July 2022, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization under exceptional circumstances for the medicinal product Nulibry, intended for the treatment of patients with molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) Type A.[11] The applicant for this medicinal product is Comharsa Life Sciences Ltd.[11] Fosdenopterin was approved for medical use in the European Union in September 2022.[3][12]
