Tiffany Marchell's questions to SELB leadership • Q4 2022
Question
Tiffany Marchell from William Blair asked about the prophylactic use of the IgG Protease Xork with Astellas for pre-existing antibodies, including potential efficacy cutoffs, and inquired if more preclinical data on Xork would be shared this year.
Answer
President and CEO Carsten Brunn explained that the general approach for Xork is to treat patients with pre-existing antibodies from natural AAV infections, which could expand the eligible patient pool by 30-70%. He noted this was a key factor in the Astellas deal. He also stated that the company has not guided on sharing additional preclinical data for Xork at this time.
