The active substance in Fabrazyme (Agalsidase Beta) – agalsidase beta – is a 2003 FDA approved drug that consists of a-galactosidase A, a natural enzyme that should be produced by the organism. However, some people may experience an insufficiency of this enzyme. The level is too low or its activity is inhibited, resulting in a kidney disorder, as well as other minor dysfunctions. The Fabry disease is probably the most common affection agalsidase beta can treat. It varies in signs and symptoms and can be hard to differentiate and diagnose if it doesn’t act in the classical manner. A history of this disease in the family may also raise a trigger. The classic disease affects the young boys, with gastrointestinal disorders, heat intolerance and severe episodes. However, the disease can touch anyone. Administration The infusion speed must stay under 0.25mg per minute to reduce the risk of adverse reactions associated to it, such as injection site irritations or redness. Once the patient’s tolerance is determined, the speed may be gradually increased with every upcoming infusion. Although some IV drugs are taken at home after the first couple of administrations, this one should be administered and monitored by a doctor. If anything unusual occurs during the infusion, the clinic or hospital is obviously fitted with the appropriate equipment. Contraindications The individuals who present more or less severe allergies and sensitivity to agalsidase beta will be prescribed a different medicine. Fabrazyme (Agalsidase Beta) is also contraindicated in those with cardiovascular diseases. Secondary effects Fabrazyme(β-agalsidase,β-半乳糖苷酶A)注射液 美国首次批准:2003 可为35毫克或5毫克单次使用小瓶的。 日期:05/2010 Fabrazyme用于治疗法布里病(Fabry disease,又称酰基鞘氨醇己三糖苷酶缺乏症) Genzyme公司2003年4月24日宣布该公司开发的遗传性疾病法布里病治疗药物Fabrazyme日前获得了FDA的正式批准。这也是FDA批准的第一个用于治疗这种疾病的生物技术药物。 法布里病(Fabry disease,又称酰基鞘氨醇己三糖苷酶缺乏症)是一种罕见的遗传性疾病。该药物的价格自是不菲。Fabrazyme此前已经获得在欧洲销售,其价格为每名患者每年16.5万欧元。Genzyme称在美国的价格将会与欧洲一致,即大约每名患者每年18.2万美元。 法布里病患者的平均寿命为50岁。法布里(Fabry's)病为溶酶体α-半乳糖苷酶A缺乏症,由于N-脂酰鞘氨醇三已糖苷(globotriaosylceramide)及相关的糖鞘脂(glycosphingolipids)进行性积聚而引起,受累病人有肾脏、心脏和脑微血管病变,导致肾衰,中风,心脏并发症等疾病。 Fabrazyme是一种酶替代疗法。Genzyme在2000年向FDA提交新药申请。 该药是Genzyme公司生产的Fabrazyme,代替了病人体内缺乏的一种脂肪代谢酶,没有这种酶,器官内脂肪积聚得极多,引起心脏病发作、肾衰和疼痛。今天FDA批准了Fabrazyme的两项特别内容:一是允许在得到它有效的完整证据前允许其销售,二是第一次批准就得到了7年的上市专有权,这是很少见的。 |
