BioUtah welcome's new member Glafabra Therapeutics! Glafabra is bringing gene therapy in Fabry disease to the USA. Fabry affects 4 Million people across the globe. People with Fabry suffer kidney disease and often need a kidney transplant. In addition, Fabry patients also suffer from heart disease and higher stroke risk. The disease is due to defects in the GLA gene, which causes the loss of a critical enzyme, a-gal A. The disease is inherited and runs deep in many families. To help, Glafabra is bringing to the US market a gene therapy recently proven to be successful in Canadian clinical trials. The US portion of the trials are expected to start in summer of 2025, where we will bring a first-in-class therapy to Fabry patients and help them achieve a normal quality of life. Glafabra is actively seeing investment and new team members who can help us fulfill this vision. Learn more: www.glafabra.com/
