Atidarsagene autotemcel
Identification
- Summary
Atidarsagene autotemcel is a gene therapy comprising autologous CD34+ enriched stem cells encoding the human arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene used to treat metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD).
- Generic Name
- Atidarsagene autotemcel
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB17538
- Background
Atidarsagene autotemcel, sold under the brand name Libmeldy, is a gene therapy comprising genetically modified autologous CD34+ enriched hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells transduced ex vivo using a lentiviral vector encoding the human arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene.3
Libmeldy was granted orphan designation by the EMA in April 2007, and was issued a marketing authorization in the EU in December 2020 for the treatment of certain manifestations of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD).4

Pharmacology
- Indication
Atidarsagene autotemcel is indicated for the treatment of metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) characterized by biallelic mutations in the arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene leading to a reduction of the ARSA enzymatic activity3 in children with:
- late infantile or early juvenile forms, without clinical manifestations of the disease, or
- early juvenile form, with early clinical manifestations of the disease, who still have the ability to walk independently and before the onset of cognitive decline

- Pharmacodynamics
The reconstitution of ARSA activity in the hematopoietic system was observed in all MLD patients treated with atidarsagene autotemcel.3 ARSA activity in the CSF grew from undetectable at baseline to detectable in all patients by month 6 post-treatment, and finally to reference range levels at year 1 post-treatment.3
- Mechanism of action
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder characterized by an inborn metabolic error in the lysosomal enzyme arylsulfatase A (ARSA).1 The resulting accumulation of sulfatides causes myelin sheaths in the central and peripheral nervous systems to become dysfunctional and degrade, leading to a gradual decline in neurodevelopmental and neurocognitive abilities.1
Atidarsagene autotemcel uses autologous CD34+ enriched stem cells transduced with a lentiviral vector encoding the human arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene. Following infusion and engraftment of the stem cells, the genetically modified cells produce and secrete a functional version of ARSA.3
