Fosdenopterin, sold under the brand name Nulibry, is a medication used to treat molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) type A.[1] In people with this condition, it reduces the risk of death.[2] It is given by gradual injection into a vein once per day.[1]

Common side effects include complications related to the intravenous line, fever, respiratory infections, vomiting, gastroenteritis, and diarrhea.[2] Other side effects may include sunburns.[2] It is a manufactured form of cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP), which it replaces.[1]

Fosdenopterin was approved for medical use in the United States in 2021 and Europe in 2022.[2][1] It is not approved in the United Kingdom as of 2022.[4] In the United States it costs about 1,500 USD per 9.5 mg vial; a cost of about 550,000 USD for a 10 kg child for a year.[5]

Medical uses

Fosdenopterin is used to reduce the risk of mortality in people with molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) type A.[2][3]

It is believed to decrease the risk of death from 25% to 7% during the first year of life.[1]

Dosage

The typical dose is 0.9 mg/kg.[1] Lower doses of 0.4 to 0.75 mg/kg may be used in those under the age of 3 months.[2]

Mechanism of action

People with molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A cannot produce cyclic pyranopterin monophosphate (cPMP) in their body.[3] Fosdenopterin is an intravenous medication that replaces the missing cPMP.[3][6] cPMP is a precursor to molybdopterin, which is required for the enzyme activity of sulfite oxidase, xanthine dehydrogenase/oxidase and aldehyde oxidase.[7]

History

Fosdenopterin was developed at the German universities TU Braunschweig and the University of Cologne.[8][9]

The effectiveness of fosdenopterin for the treatment of MoCD-A was demonstrated in thirteen treated participants compared to eighteen matched, untreated participants.[3][10] The participants treated with fosdenopterin had a survival rate of 84% at three years, compared to 55% for the untreated participants.[3]

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted the application for fosdenopterin priority review, breakthrough therapy, and orphan drug designations along with a rare pediatric disease priority review voucher.[3] The FDA granted the approval of Nulibry to Origin Biosciences, Inc., in February 2021.[3] It is the first medication approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of molybdenum cofactor deficiency type A.[3]

Society and culture

On 21 July 2022, the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) adopted a positive opinion, recommending the granting of a marketing authorization under exceptional circumstances for the medicinal product Nulibry, intended for the treatment of patients with molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) Type A.[11] The applicant for this medicinal product is Comharsa Life Sciences Ltd.[11] Fosdenopterin was approved for medical use in the European Union in September 2022.[1]
