Rentschler Fill Solutions and Ultragenyx announce fill and finish agreement for the US commercial supply of Mepsevii.
Rentschler Fill Solutions GmbH announced on May 30, 2018 a collaboration with Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, Inc. for the fill/finish production of the injectable Mepsevii (vestronidase alfa), a recombinant form of the human enzyme beta-glucuronidase, to treat patients with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) VII, a rare genetic disorder.
