중증이며 진행성인 다기관 질환으로 인한, 뿌리 깊은 높은 미충족 의료 수요
부신백질이영양증은 진행성 신경 기능 저하, 부신 기능 장애 및 심각한 장기적 장애를 특징으로 하는 희귀 유전성 질환으로, 중증형의 경우 치료법이 존재함에도 불구하고 급속한 병세 진행과 높은 사망률을 초래합니다.
신생아 선별검사의 확대에 따라 진단 및 치료가 가능한 환자 수가 증가하고 있습니다.
신생아 선별검사의 보급으로 인해 증상이 나타나기 전 진단과 조기 개입이 가능해지면서, ALD 환자로 확인될 수 있는 환자군이 확대되고 있습니다.
분자생물학이 명확히 규명됨에 따라 표적 치료법의 개발이 가능해졌습니다.
유전적 기전이 충분히 규명되었고, 측정 가능한 바이오마커가 존재하기 때문에 조기 진단이 가능해졌으며, 부신백질이영양증에 대한 표적 치료제 개발이 촉진되고 있습니다.
부신백질이영양증(ALD) 개요
ALD는 ABCD1 유전자의 변이로 인해 발생하는 희귀한 X-연관 과산화체 질환으로, 이로 인해 초장쇄 지방산의 분해가 저해되어 축적이 일어납니다. 그 결과, 중추신경계에서 진행성 염증성 탈수초화, 척수 변성 및 부신피질 기능 장애를 유발하여 광범위한 임상 양상을 보입니다. 이 질환은 일반적으로 심각한 인지 기능 및 운동 기능 저하를 동반하는 급속히 진행되는 신경퇴행성 질환인 ' '소아기 발병 뇌형 ALD'와, 경련성 사지마비 및 고립성 부신 기능 부전을 유발하는 서서히 진행되는 성인기 발병 척수 질환인 '부신수질신경증'으로 나타납니다. 전반적으로, 이는 독성 지질의 축적과 신경 염증에 의해 유발되며, 발병 시기와 중증도에 큰 편차가 있는 진행성 다계통 질환입니다.
부신백질이영양증(ALD)의 진단
부신백질이영양증의 진단은 생화학적 검사, 유전학적 확인 및 신경 영상 검사를 바탕으로 이루어집니다. 주요 선별 검사는 퍼옥시좀 대사 장애를 반영하는 혈장 내 초장쇄 지방산 수치의 상승입니다. 확정 진단은 ABCD1 유전자에서 병원성 변이를 확인함으로써 이루어집니다. 뇌 질환의 경우, 뇌 MRI를 통해 특징적인 백질의 탈수초화를 확인합니다. 대부분의 경우 후두부에 국한되어 있으며, 활동성 염증성 병변에서는 조영 증강이 관찰됩니다. 또한, 동반된 원발성 부신 기능 부전을 평가하기 위해 부신 기능 검사도 실시됩니다. 이러한 검사를 종합적으로 실시함으로써, 신생아 선별검사를 통한 무증상기 발견을 포함하여 조기적이고 정확한 진단이 가능해집니다.
부신백질이영양증(ALD)의 치료
부신백질이영양증의 치료는 조기 질환 수정적 중재, 뇌 병변의 진행 예방, 그리고 내분비 및 신경학적 합병증에 대한 평생 관리를 중심으로 이루어집니다. 조기 뇌형 부신백질이영양증의 경우, 주요 질환 수식 치료법으로는 조혈모세포 이식(HSCT) 및 체외 렌티바이러스 유전자 치료(에리발드겐·오테템셀)가 있습니다. 이 약제들은 모두 신경학적 기능이 현저하게 저하되기 전에 투여된다면, 염증성 탈수초화를 안정화시키거나 그 진행을 늦출 수 있습니다.
지지 요법에는 모든 표현형에서 공통적으로 나타나는 원발성 부신 기능 부전에 대한 평생 글루코코르티코이드 보충 요법이 포함됩니다. 부신수질신경증 환자의 경우, 이 표현형에 대한 질병 수정 요법이 현재 확립되어 있지 않기 때문에 물리치료, 경직 관리, 방광 증상 조절 등을 포함한 대증 요법 및 재활 치료를 통해 관리됩니다.
부신백질이영양증(ALD)의 역학 분석 및 예측에 관한 주요 조사 결과
부신백질이영양증 시장은 여전히 현저히 미충족된 상태입니다. 현재의 치료 옵션은 조기 뇌형 질환을 가진 적격 환자에 대한 조혈모세포 이식(HSCT)과, 기타 대부분의 표현형에 대한 대증 요법으로 거의 한정되어 있습니다. 부신수질신경증(AMN) 및 진행성 뇌형 질환 환자들은 승인된 질환 수정 요법이 존재하지 않기 때문에 여전히 큰 미충족 의료 수요에 직면해 있으며, 이에 따라 새로운 치료 접근법에 대한 강력한 수요가 대두되고 있습니다.
조기 활동성 뇌형 부신백질이영양증에 대한 최초의 유전자 치료제인 'SKYSONA'의 승인으로, 치료 전망이 달라졌습니다. 'SKYSONA'는 유전자 기반 질환 수정 가능성을 보여주고 있지만, 적격 환자의 범위가 좁고, 전문적인 치료 요건이 있으며, 장기적인 안전성 모니터링이 필요하기 때문에 그 보급은 제한적일 것으로 예측됩니다. 따라서, 더 광범위하게 적용할 수 있는 치료법에는 여전히 큰 기회가 남아 있습니다.
개발 파이프라인에서는 초장쇄 지방산 대사, 신경 염증, 미토콘드리아 기능 장애를 표적으로 하는 대사적 및 신경 보호적 접근법에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있습니다. 렐리그리타존이나 VK0214와 같은 신흥 치료법은 특히 현재 승인된 질환 수정 요법이 없는 AMN 환자들에게 치료 선택지를 확대할 가능성을 지니고 있습니다.
ABCD1 유전자 치환 요법 : 유전자 치료는 부신백질이영양증에서 유일하게 승인된 질환 수정 요법의 한 유형입니다. SKYSONA는 자가 유래 유전자 변형 조혈모세포를 통해 기능적인 ABCD1 발현을 회복시켜, 초기 활동성 뇌형 부신백질이영양증을 앓고 있는 적격 환자에서 뇌 병변의 진행을 안정화시키는 것을 목표로 합니다.
PPAR-Y 작용제 : 이 치료제군의 대표적인 예인 렐리그리타존은 부신백질이영양증에 수반되는 신경염증, 미토콘드리아 기능 장애 및 신경퇴행을 치료하기 위해 개발이 진행되고 있습니다. 이 치료제군은 이식이나 유전자 치료와 같이 치료 적용 범위가 제한적인 상황을 넘어, 질환 경과를 조절하는 접근법을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있습니다.
갑상선 호르몬 수용체 β 작용제인 VK0214는 기능 부전을 보이는 ABCD1을 부분적으로 보완할 가능성이 있는 보상성 수송체인 ABCD2의 발현을 증가시키도록 설계되어 있으며, 이를 통해 초장쇄 지방산의 대사를 촉진하고 지질 축적을 완화합니다.
전반적으로 볼 때, 현재 부신백질이영양증에 대한 가장 진보된 질환 수정 치료법은 유전자 치환 요법이지만, PPAR-Y 작용제, 갑상선 호르몬 수용체 β 작용제, AMPK 활성화제 등 대사를 표적으로 하는 새로운 약물군이 등장하고 있으며, 특히 부신수질신경증이나 진행기 질환 환자를 포함한 더 광범위한 환자 집단에 대응할 수 있는 가능성을 지니고 있어 개발 파이프라인을 확대되고 있습니다.

Key Factors Driving the Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) Disease Market
Persistent high unmet medical need due to severe, progressive multi-system disease
Adrenoleukodystrophy is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive neurologic decline, adrenal dysfunction, and significant long-term disability, with severe forms causing rapid disease progression and high mortality despite available treatments.
Expansion of newborn screening is increasing the diagnosed and treatable population
Widespread newborn screening enables presymptomatic diagnosis, earlier intervention, and expansion of the identifiable ALD disease patient population.
Well-defined molecular biology enabling targeted therapeutic development
A well-characterized genetic basis and measurable biomarkers enable early diagnosis and drive the development of targeted therapies for adrenoleukodystrophy.
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) Disease Overview
ALD is a rare X-linked peroxisomal disorder caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene, leading to impaired degradation and accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids. This results in progressive inflammatory demyelination in the central nervous system, spinal cord degeneration, and adrenal cortex dysfunction, producing a broad clinical spectrum. The disease commonly presents as childhood cerebral ALD, a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative form with severe cognitive and motor decline; adrenomyeloneuropathy, a slowly progressive adult-onset spinal cord disorder causing spastic paraparesis and isolated adrenal insufficiency. Overall, it is a progressive multisystem disease with highly variable onset and severity driven by toxic lipid accumulation and neuroinflammation.
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) Disease Diagnosis
Diagnosis of adrenoleukodystrophy is based on biochemical testing, genetic confirmation, and neuroimaging assessment. The key screening test is elevated plasma very-long-chain fatty acids, reflecting impaired peroxisomal metabolism. Definitive diagnosis is established by identification of pathogenic variants in the ABCD1 gene. In cerebral disease, brain MRI is used to detect characteristic white matter demyelination, often with posterior predominance and contrast enhancement in active inflammatory lesions. Adrenal function testing is also performed to assess associated primary adrenal insufficiency. Together, these investigations enable early and accurate diagnosis, including presymptomatic detection through newborn screening programs.
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) Disease Treatment
Treatment of adrenoleukodystrophy is centered on early disease-modifying intervention, prevention of cerebral disease progression, and lifelong management of endocrine and neurological complications. In early cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, the primary disease-modifying options are HSCT and ex vivo lentiviral gene therapy (elivaldogene autotemcel), both of which can stabilize or slow inflammatory demyelination when administered before advanced neurologic decline.
Supportive therapy includes lifelong glucocorticoid replacement for primary adrenal insufficiency, which is common across phenotypes. Patients with adrenomyeloneuropathy are managed with symptomatic and rehabilitative care, including physical therapy, spasticity management, and bladder symptom control, as no disease-modifying therapy is currently established for this phenotype.

Approved Therapies for Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) Disease
Elivaldogene autotemcel (SKYSONA): Genetix Biotherapeutics
SKYSONA is an autologous hematopoietic stem cell gene therapy designed to correct the underlying ABCD1 gene defect in adrenoleukodystrophy. As the first approved gene therapy for cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy, it represents a significant shift from supportive care and transplantation-based approaches toward targeted disease modification, particularly for patients without a suitable donor for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The therapy received US FDA approval in September 2022 for boys aged 4-17 years with early active cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy who lack an HLA-matched donor. However, broader adoption may be constrained by its specialized administration, limited eligible patient population, and evolving safety profile. In August 2025, the FDA required updated safety labeling following reports of hematologic malignancies, reinforcing the need for long-term safety monitoring and careful patient selection.
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) Disease Pipeline Analysis
Leriglitazone (MIN-102): Minoryx Therapeutics and Neuraxpharm
Leriglitazone is an investigational, brain-penetrant, selective PPAR-Y agonist designed to modulate pathways involved in mitochondrial function, lipid metabolism, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress. The therapy aims to address key pathogenic mechanisms of X-linked ALD by improving cellular energy homeostasis and reducing neuroinflammatory processes associated with very-long-chain fatty acid (VLCFA) accumulation. Leriglitazone is being developed for both cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (cALD) and adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN).
Minoryx Therapeutics reported that leriglitazone met the primary endpoint of the pivotal NEXUS trial in pediatric cALD, supporting its potential as a disease-modifying therapy. Based on these results, the company submitted a Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the treatment of pediatric and adult male patients with cALD. The application was validated by the EMA in July 2025.
VK0214: Viking Therapeutics
VK0214 is an oral thyroid hormone receptor-B (TRB) agonist designed to reduce the accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids in patients with X-linked ALD. By selectively activating TRB pathways, the drug enhances metabolic pathways that promote the breakdown of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFA), which are central to ALD disease pathology. VK0214 is being investigated primarily for patients with AMN, the adult form of ALD. Received orphan drug designation (ODD) from the FDA for VK0214 for the treatment of X-ALD in December 2016.
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) Disease Key Players, Market Leaders, and Emerging Companies
Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) Disease Drug Updates
The adrenoleukodystrophy market remains significantly underserved, with current treatment options largely limited to HSCT for eligible patients with early cerebral disease and supportive care for most other phenotypes. Patients with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) and advanced cerebral disease continue to face substantial unmet needs due to the absence of approved disease-modifying therapies, creating a strong demand for novel therapeutic approaches.
The treatment landscape has evolved with the approval of SKYSONA, the first gene therapy for early active cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy. While SKYSONA has demonstrated the potential of gene-based disease modification, its adoption is expected to be limited by narrow patient eligibility, specialized treatment requirements, and the need for long-term safety monitoring, leaving significant opportunities for therapies with broader applicability.
The pipeline is increasingly focused on metabolic and neuroprotective approaches targeting very-long-chain fatty acid metabolism, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Emerging therapies such as Leriglitazone and VK0214 have the potential to expand treatment options, particularly for patients with AMN, where no approved disease-modifying therapies currently exist.
Drug Class/Insights into Leading Emerging and Marketed Therapies in Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) Disease (2022-2036 Forecast)
The ALD treatment landscape is evolving from supportive management toward gene replacement and metabolic-targeted therapies designed to address the underlying consequences of ABCD1 dysfunction, including very-long-chain fatty acid accumulation, mitochondrial impairment, and neurodegeneration.
ABCD1 gene replacement: Gene therapy represents the only approved disease-modifying therapeutic class in adrenoleukodystrophy. SKYSONA restores functional ABCD1 expression through autologous gene-modified hematopoietic stem cells, aiming to stabilize cerebral disease progression in eligible patients with early active cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy.
PPAR-Y agonists: This class is represented by Leriglitazone, which is being developed to address neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neurodegeneration associated with adrenoleukodystrophy. The class is intended to provide a disease-modifying approach beyond the narrow treatment window of transplantation and gene therapy.
Thyroid hormone receptor beta agonists: VK0214 is designed to increase expression of ABCD2, a compensatory transporter that may partially substitute for defective ABCD1 function, thereby enhancing very-long-chain fatty acid metabolism and reducing lipid accumulation.
Overall, gene replacement therapies currently represent the most advanced disease-modifying approach in adrenoleukodystrophy, while emerging metabolic-targeted classes, including PPAR-Y agonists, thyroid hormone receptor beta agonists, and AMPK activators, are expanding the pipeline with the potential to address broader patient populations, particularly those with adrenomyeloneuropathy and advanced disease.
