Veristat Congratulates Origin Biosciences for FDA Approval of Nulibry During the Week of Rare Disease Day 2021

SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass.

Veristat, a scientific-minded, global clinical research organization (CRO), today congratulated Origin Biosciences for their FDA approval of Nulibry (fosdenopterin) for injection as the first therapy to reduce the risk of mortality in patients with molybdenum cofactor deficiency (MoCD) Type A. This rare disease product received FDA approval on Friday, 26 February 2021, during the week when the world celebrated #RareDiseaseDay2021.

Veristat’s biostatisticians, programmers, and medical writers collaborated with Origin Biosciences to support the New Drug Application (NDA) for Nulibry. The entire Veristat team is honored to know that the hard work and perseverance of the combined Origin/Veristat team brought new hope for children whose lives are shortened by the devastating disease MoCD Type A.

“We thank the entire Veristat team who worked diligently to help us bring this critical therapy to patients with no other FDA-approved treatment options,” said Dr. Liza Squires, Origin Chief Medical Officer.

“Knowing that our work makes a difference in the lives of patients and their families around the world is the driving force of Veristat,” stated Patrick Flanagan, Chief Executive Officer at Veristat. “Origin Biosciences offers hope to pediatric patients and their families who now have a first-of-its-kind therapy to extend life. I congratulate and thank everyone involved in this momentous achievement of bringing Nulibry to market. I cannot think of a better way to celebrate and culminate the week of Rare Disease Day 2021.”
