The European Commission has granted marketing authorisation for NEZGLYAL, the first pharmacological treatment for childhood cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (cALD), a rare and severe genetic brain disorder.

The approval offers a new therapy option for patients across the EU and is being noted in rare disease and biotech circles.
