Participants work with the FDA to set milestones and success metrics.
Applicants had to meet certain criteria from the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) and the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER), which were in charge of selecting up to three sponsors each. CBER sought sponsors deveFDAing cell or gene therapies for rare conditions that can cause serious illness or death before age 10, while CDER was looking for those wiFDAproducts to treat rare neurodegenerative diseases.

Grace’s GS-100, a gene therapy that treats NGLY1 deficiency, Friedreich’s ataxiaor START. NGLY1 deficiency is an extremely rare condition that causes a wide range of neurological symptoms of varying severity beginning in early childhood. Grace has treated two patients with GS-100 so far as part of a single arm, dose-finding phase 1/2/3 trial. A third patient is expected to receive treatment later this summer.

In an email to Fierce Biotech Research, CBER said four participants had been selected for the pilot program, while CDER has selected three.
