The biotech company is looking to forge a path to profitability by scaling up the commercial uptake of Zynteglo and winning the FDA’s approval for its lovo-cel gene therapy for sickle cell disease.

The FDA approved bluebird bio’s lentiviral vector (LVV) eli-cel Friday as the first therapy to slow the progression of neurologic dysfunction in juvenile boys with early, active cerebral adrenoleukodystrophy (CALD).
