ROME — Julia Vitarello, whose daughter Mila eight years ago received a bespoke medicine designed for her particular disease-causing mutation, said this week that she is in the process of starting a new company to try to create these individualized therapies at scale.

Vitarello’s previous effort, called EveryONE Medicines, recently folded in part because new Food and Drug Administration guidance encouraging the development of customized therapies did not go far enough in creating a pathway to satisfy EveryONE’s investors, Vitarello said.
