Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy Pipeline Insight 2025: Gene Therapies Lead a Paradigm Shift in Treating Childhood Neurodegeneration | DelveInsight

DelveInsight's "Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD) - Pipeline Insight, 2025" examines the evolving therapeutic landscape for CALD, the most severe phenotype of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD), caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene. CALD primarily affects young boys, leading to progressive demyelination, neuroinflammation, and rapid neurological decline if left untreated.

For decades, treatment relied solely on allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), which is only effective if performed early and carries considerable risks. However, recent advances in gene therapy have significantly shifted the trajectory of CALD drug development. The approval of SKYSONA (elivaldogene autotemcel) marked a watershed moment, offering a one-time ex vivo lentiviral gene therapy option using autologous cells to restore ABCD1 function and halt disease progression without the complications of graft-versus-host disease.

Pipeline innovation continues with next-generation gene therapy candidates aiming to improve transduction efficiency, reduce insertional risk, and broaden patient eligibility. Parallel efforts are focused on small molecules that can modulate very-long-chain fatty acid metabolism or control inflammatory processes in the CNS. Early-stage studies are also evaluating neuroprotective and adjunctive therapies designed to extend or complement the efficacy of HSCT and gene therapy.

As newborn screening expands globally and early diagnosis becomes more routine, the therapeutic window for CALD is widening. With regulatory backing and increased R&D investment, the CALD pipeline is poised to deliver safer, more durable options that shift the standard of care from reactive to proactive intervention.

Key Takeaways from the Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy Pipeline Report
• DelveInsight's Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy pipeline analysis depicts a strong space with 3+ active players working to develop 3+ pipeline drugs for Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy treatment.
• The leading Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy companies include Minoryx Therapeutics, POXEL SA, Orpheris, Inc., bluebird bio, Inc., and others are evaluating their lead assets to improve the Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy treatment landscape.
• Key Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy pipeline therapies in various stages of development include MIN-102, PXL770, OP-101, elivaldogene autotemcel (eli-cel), and others.
• In November 2024, the FDA initiated a safety investigation into SKYSONA, following reports of hematologic malignancies-including leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes-emerging 14 to 92 months post-treatment. While these risks were included in SKYSONA's original label, the inquiry highlights ongoing concerns and underlines the need for long-term post‐marketing monitoring.
• While no new gene therapy approvals have emerged since SKYSONA, Minoryx Therapeutics' leriglitazone (MIN‐102) has received FDA orphan drug, fast track, and rare pediatric disease designations. This brain-penetrant PPARγ agonist is in Phase II/III trials targeting X‐ALD (including CALD) using a novel small-molecule approach.

Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy Overview
Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD) is a severe, progressive genetic disorder affecting the nervous system and adrenal glands. It is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene, leading to the accumulation of very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) in the brain and adrenal cortex. This buildup damages the protective myelin sheath around nerve fibers, resulting in inflammation and rapid neurodegeneration.

CALD primarily affects boys and young men, often presenting in childhood with symptoms such as behavioral changes, cognitive decline, vision and hearing loss, and motor dysfunction. Without treatment, the disease progresses rapidly and can be fatal. Early diagnosis and interventions like hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or gene therapy may slow progression and improve outcomes.

Cerebral Adrenoleukodystrophy Treatment Analysis: Drug Profile
MIN-102: Minoryx Therapeutics
Leriglitazone (MIN-102) is a novel, orally available selective PPAR gamma agonist with a potential best-in-class profile for treating CNS disorders. It is a metabolite of pioglitazone that achieves higher brain penetration and engages PPAR gamma in the CNS more effectively and safely than pioglitazone and other glitazones. Preclinical studies demonstrated its ability to modulate key pathways involved in mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, demyelination, and axonal degeneration across multiple disease models.

PXL770: POXEL SA
PXL770 is a novel compound that directly activates AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key regulator of metabolic pathways and inflammation. AMPK activation has been linked to therapeutic benefits in adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) based on animal and human studies. In preclinical ALD models, PXL770 reduced elevated very long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) levels in patient-derived cells and increased expression of the compensatory ABCD2 transporter. In ABCD1-deficient mice, chronic treatment with PXL770 lowered VLCFA levels in the spinal cord and improved neural histology and neurobehavioral outcomes.
