Fidanacogene elaparvovec |
Fidanacogene elaparvovec is a gene therapy designed to introduce in the transduced cells a functional copy of the factor IX gene encoding a high-activity FIX variant (FIX-R338L, hFIX Padua). The AAVRh74var capsid is able to transduce hepatocytes, the natural site of factor IX synthesis. Single intravenous infusion of fidanacogene elaparvovec results in cell transduction and increase in circulating factor IX activity in patients with hemophilia B. |
