We are delivering transformative therapies across multiple indications, and we have one of the most robust and diverse clinical pipelines in rare disease.

Kakkis, M.D., Ph.D. Chief Executive Officer and President We have an inclusive culture of value and respect. Ultragenyx brings novel products to those living with rare and ultrarare diseases with a focus on debilitating genetic diseases. Founded in 2010, we have rapidly built a diverse portfolio of approved therapies and products aimed at diseases with a high unmet medical need for which many have no approved therapies.

We put our people first, so they can take care of the rare disease community.

In this new STAT First Opinion piece, our CEO Emil Kakkis urges the #FDA cardiorenal advisory committee to pay attention to the "totality of evidence" when reviewing the Stealth BioTherapeutics investigational therapy for #BarthSyndrome tomorrow.
On Thursday, another #ultrarare therapy will be subject to the gaze of an #FDA advisory committee, with the fate of over 200 boys diagnosed with #Barth syndrome worldwide in the balance. Tomorrow the cardiorenal advisory committee will be reviewing the NDA for Stealth BioTherapeutics investigational medicine. In this @STAT News first opinion piece, I call on FDA to take a “totality of the evidence” approach as the data in long-term treatment and early access treatment have shown important benefit in these patients while also acknowledging that there is no adequate, approved or available therapy in this disease. There is an opportunity here to support a more hopeful future now for the one in a million Barth boys. #RareDisease https://lnkd.in/eY3ZkqtC
