The U.S. FDA approves Ryoncil for treating a severe condition in children post-transplant.

The U.S. FDA has approved Ryoncil (remestemcel-L), the first mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy in the U.S., for treating steroid-refractory acute graft-versus-host disease (SR-aGVHD) in children aged 2 months and older. In a Phase 3 trial, 70% of patients showed an overall response by Day 28. The therapy, developed by Mesoblast, is derived from bone marrow cells and works by inhibiting T cell activation and reducing inflammation. Common side effects include infections, fever, and hypertension.
