Enspryng, the latest drug to hit the market, was shown to be a safe and effective treatment for NMOSD in two 96-week clinical trials.
“Until last year, there were no FDA-approved treatments for patients with this rare, debilitating and sometimes fatal disease. Now there are three,” said Billy Dunn, MD, director of the office of neuroscience in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.
Enspryng was developed by Genentech, a biotechnology company that received FDA clearance for its Evrysdi drug for spinal muscular atrophy earlier this month.
