Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to treating rare and ultra-rare genetic diseases. The company has 6 FDA-approved therapies: Crysvita (burosumab) for X-linked hypophosphatemia, Mepsevii (vestronidase alfa) for MPS VII, Dojolvi (triheptanoin) for long-chain fatty acid oxidation disorders, Evkeeza (evinacumab), licensed from Regeneron for ex-US commercialization, for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, Genglycos (pariglasgene brecaparvovec-opnr), which received FDA accelerated approval in August 2026 for glycogen storage disease type Ia, and Fayuvi (rebisufligene etisparvovec-hopf), formerly UX111, which received full FDA approval on September 17, 2026 as the first-ever treatment for Sanfilippo syndrome type A (MPS IIIA). Genglycos and Fayuvi are the company's first 2 gene therapies to reach the market. Ultragenyx maintains one of the largest gene therapy pipelines in rare disease, with advanced programs in Angelman syndrome, osteogenesis imperfecta, Wilson disease, and urea cycle disorders.
Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Drug Pipeline
Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical has 12 active clinical trials across 3 development stages, with 12 currently recruiting participants. Clinical trials advance through phases: Phase 1 tests safety in a small group, Phase 2 evaluates effectiveness and side effects, Phase 3 confirms benefit in a larger population, and Phase 4 monitors long-term safety after FDA approval.
Note: This pipeline includes all of Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical's active interventional trials, not only those targeting rare diseases. We show the full pipeline because a company's broader research activity, therapeutic expertise, and development infrastructure directly shape its ability to advance rare disease programs. A strong overall pipeline often signals deeper clinical operations, faster enrollment capabilities, and greater commitment to bringing new treatments to patients.
