Taysha Gene Therapies said regulators have granted fast-track
designation for TSHA-102, a gene transfer therapy in clinical
evaluation for the neurodevelopmental disorder Rett Syndrome.
The Dallas-based clinical-stage company said the special status
from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has been granted after
encouraging initial data from the first adult patient in Canada
dosed with TSHA-102. A second patient is set to be dosed in the
current quarter.
The FDA's fast-track designation facilitates the development and
expedites the review of drugs that treat serious or
life-threatening conditions and fill unmet medical needs.
TSHA-102 also has received orphan-drug and
rare-pediatric-disease designations from the FDA, as well as
orphan-drug designation from the European Commission.
Shares climbed 8% to $2.40 in premarket trading.
