Purpose: In Gaucher disease, diminished activity of the lysosomal enzyme, acid β-glucosidase, leads to accumulation of glucosylceramides and related substrates, primarily in the spleen, liver, and bone marrow.

Miglustat Dipharma is indicated for the oral treatment of adult patients with mild to moderate type 1 Gaucher disease. Miglustat Dipharma may be used only in the treatment of patients for whom enzyme replacement therapy is unsuitable (see sections 4.4 and 5.1). Miglustat Dipharma is indicated for the treatment of progressive neurological manifestations in adult patients and paediatric patients with Niemann-Pick type C disease (see sections 4.4, and 5.1).

In the phase 3 trial of eliglustat in patients with Gaucher disease type 1 already stabilized with enzyme therapy (ENCORE), at one year, eliglustat was non-inferior to imiglucerase enzyme therapy in maintaining stable platelet counts ...

Gaucher disease is an inherited metabolic disease characterized by β-glucocerebrosidase deficiency and commonly treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). The efficacy of ERT with velaglucerase alfa was assessed based on...

Following the treatment of the first Gaucher disease patient with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), it was clear that ERT had the potential to be transformative with dramatic improvements...

This retrospective, exploratory analysis of data from phase 3 clinical trials of velaglucerase alfa in patients with type 1 GD evaluated the potential of lyso-Gb1 as a specific and sensitive biomarker for GD.

Cerezyme (imiglucerase) is indicated for use as long-term enzyme replacement therapy in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of non-neuronopathic (Type 1) or chronic neuronopathic (Type 3) Gaucher disease who exhibit clinically significant non-neurological manifestations of the disease. The non-neurological manifestations of Gaucher disease include one or more of the following conditions: • anaemia after exclusion of other causes, such as iron deficiency • thrombocytopenia • bone disease after exclusion of other causes such as Vitamin D deficiency • hepatomegaly or splenomegaly

Alpha-mannosidosis is an ultra-rare monogenic disorder resulting from a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme alpha-mannosidase, with a prevalence estimated to be as low as 1:1,000,000 live births.

Aim: Sapropterin causes reductions in blood phenylalanine concentrations in sensitive patients with phenylketonuria (PKU).

The National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has provisionally not recommended Cerdelga (eliglustat) from Sanofi as a first-line...
