Orchard Therapeutics (NASDAQ: ORTX), a leading commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to transforming the lives of patients with serious and life-threatening rare diseases through innovative gene therapies, today summarized recent accomplishments and 2019 strategic priorities in conjunction with its attendance at the 37th Annual J.P.

“2018 was a momentous year for Orchard, marked by the success of our acquisition and integration of GSK’s rare disease ex-vivo gene therapy portfolio, initial scaling of our manufacturing capabilities and completion of our initial public offering,” said Mr. Rothera. “2019 will continue the company’s evolution as a leader in gene therapy, with multiple clinical milestones supporting three regulatory filings over the next three years and growing manufacturing capabilities. We have a bold vision and are well on our way to delivering gene therapies that have the potential to transform the lives of patients with rare, life-threatening diseases worldwide with a single treatment.”
2019 Strategic Priorities
Neurometabolic Disorders
> Release two and three-year follow-up data in 20 patients from the fresh formulation registrational trial of OTL-200 for metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD)
> Release engraftment data in the first three patients from the cryopreserved formulation clinical trial of OTL-200 for MLD
> Submit clinical trial application (CTA) for OTL-201 for mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS-IIIA) and support initiation of a clinical trial
Primary Immune Deficiencies
> Release two-year follow-up data in 20 patients from the fresh formulation registrational trial of OTL-101 in adenosine deaminase severe combined immune deficiency (ADA-SCID)
> Release engraftment data in 10 patients from a cryopreserved formulation clinical trial of OTL-101 in ADA-SCID
> Release three-year follow-up data in eight patients from the fresh formulation registrational trial of OTL-103 in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS)

> Design and engage regulators on registrational trial for OTL-102 in X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD), which recently achieved clinical proof-of-concept (link to full release here)
Hemoglobinopathies
> Report clinical proof-of-concept data for OTL-300 in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (TDBT)
Major 2018 Accomplishments
Pipeline Expansion and Advancement
> Completed the strategic acquisition and subsequent integration of GSK’s rare disease ex-vivo gene therapy portfolio, including Strimvelis®, the only treatment for patients with ADA-SCID approved in the EU, along with clinical programs in MLD, WAS and TDBT
> Completed pre-biologics license application (BLA) and CMC specific meetings with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for OTL-101 for ADA-SCID, following which the program remains on track for a BLA filing in the U.S. in 2020
> Achieved clinical proof of concept for OTL-102 in X-CGD, demonstrating sustained levels of functioning neutrophils in patients after 12 months
> Obtained Rare Pediatric Disease Designations from the FDA for OTL-200 for the treatment of MLD and OTL-201 for the treatment of MPS-IIIA
> Obtained priority medicines (PRIME) designation from the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for OTL-300 for the treatment of TDBT
Corporate & Manufacturing Developments
> Raised approximately $375 million in gross proceeds in 2018 from a Series C financing and underwritten initial public offering
> Leased a manufacturing site in Fremont, CA and opened a Boston, MA corporate office. The manufacturing facility will enhance the company’s capacity to develop and deliver ex-vivo lentiviral vector and gene-corrected hematopoietic stem cells for a wide range of rare diseases on a global scale and will complement the existing network of partner CMOs that will underpin the launches for the first three programs.
