Alglucosidase Alfa
A recombinant enzyme replacement therapy used to treat Pompe disease, a rare inherited condition where the absence of acid alpha-glucosidase allows glycogen to accumulate and destroy muscle cells. Regular infusions of this enzyme help break down the excess glycogen, improving muscle function, breathing, and survival particularly in the infantile-onset form.
Mekanisme Kerja
Provides exogenous replacement of the deficient enzyme, restoring the metabolic pathway and clearing accumulated substrates from affected tissues.
Pharmacokinetics (PK)
Pharmacodynamics (PD)
