Metachromatic Leukodystrophy Understanding

Metachromatic Leukodystrophy: Overview

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is a rare hereditary disease characterized by accumulation of fats called sulfatides. This causes the destruction of the protective fatty layer (myelin sheath) surrounding the nerves in both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. There are three types of MLD based on the age symptoms appear: late-infantile MLD, juvenile MLD, and adult MLD.

 

MLD is caused by changes (mutations) in the ASA gene (also known as ARSA) and, in rare cases, the PSAP gene. MLD is first suspected by recognizing the characteristic pattern of progressive impairment. In the late-infantile form, the first signs are often difficult walking, which can present as new inability to fully lift the feet while walking (foot drop) or by toe walking. For adult MLD, the first signs are slurred speech and behavioral issues that include difficulty in school, behavior changes, and decreased ability in school. Individuals with juvenile MLD can present with motor or cognitive symptoms. In pre- or minimally symptomatic children, stem cell transplantation can be considered. Otherwise, the main treatment is supportive and focused on symptomatic relief.

Metachromatic Leukodystrophy Emerging Drugs

 

OTL-200: Orchard Therapeutics

OTL-200 (autologous CD34+ cell enriched population that contains hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) transduced ex vivo using a lentiviral vector encoding the human arylsulfatase-A (ARSA) gene), referred to as Libmeldy in the European Union, is an ex vivo autologous hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in 2020. OTL-200 is an investigational therapy which has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or any other health authority. 

 

TAK-611: Takeda

TAK-611, a recombinant cerebroside sulfatase is being developed by Takeda as an enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a rare hereditary disease characterised by the accumulation of toxic lipids that destroy the myelin sheath surrounding neurons. It is currently in phase II stage of development for metachromatic leukodystrophy.
