Orphan Designation Granted: The European Medicines Agency has granted orphan designation to efdoralprin alfa, an investigational treatment for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related emphysema.
Significant Medical Need: This designation emphasizes the unmet medical need for patients suffering from AATD-related emphysema and the potential of efdoralprin alfa to offer new therapeutic options.
Regulatory Status: Efdoralprin alfa has also received fast track and orphan drug designations from the US FDA, but its safety and efficacy are still under evaluation.
Future Plans: Sanofi intends to present clinical data at an upcoming medical meeting and will engage with global regulatory authorities regarding the next steps for the drug's development.
