The PDUFA action date was September 19, 2026 and the FDA approved on September 17, two days early. That goal date came from Ultragenyx's own 8-K of April 2, 2026 ("The FDA set a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of September 19, 2026"), which is why the margin is quoted as a measurement. The BLA was a resubmission after an earlier Complete Response Letter; UX111 was licensed from Abeona Therapeutics.
