The FDA approved leniolisib for treating children aged 4 to 11 years with activated PI3Kδ syndrome (APDS), marking the first targeted treatment option addressing the underlying disease pathway for this pediatric group. This expands disease-modifying treatment access beyond previous symptom management and is expected to be available in the US from October 2026.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You have a new chance to target a disease with no prior approved paediatric treatment, shifting focus from symptom management to pathogenesis intervention. Early focus on US paediatric immunology networks could open rapid clinical adoption and patient access.
