Bayer (BAYN: DE) subsidiary Asklepios BioPharmaceutical (AskBio) has drawn attention to the role of its own adeno-associated virus technology in all US Food and Drug Administration-approved gene therapies of this type.

The statement from the firm follows the  recent approval of a one-time hemophilia B treatment, Hemgenix (etranacogene dezaparvovec-drlb), developed by Dutch gene therapy company uniQure (Nasdaq: QURE).

AskBio said the approval “marks another milestone for the advancement of AAV therapeutics and highlights the important research contributions made by AskBio co-founder Jude Samulski.”
