Uses

POMBILITI is indicated, in combination with Opfolda, for the treatment of adult patients with late-onset Pompe disease (lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase [GAA] deficiency) weighing ≥40 kg and who are not improving on their current enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). POMBILITI is a hydrolytic lysosomal glycogen-specific enzyme indicated, in combination with Opfolda, an enzyme stabilizer, for the treatment of adult patients with late-onset Pompe disease (lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase [GAA] deficiency) weighing ≥40 kg and who are not improving on their current enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).

How it works

Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease type II, acid maltase deficiency, and glycogenosis type II) is an inherited disorder of glycogen metabolism caused by a deficiency of lysosomal acid alpha‑glucosidase (GAA) that degrades glycogen to glucose in the lysosome. GAA deficiency results in intra-lysosomal accumulation of glycogen in various tissues. Cipaglucosidase alfa-atga provides an exogenous source of GAA. The bis-M6P on cipaglucosidase alfa-atga mediates binding to M6P receptors on the cell surface with high affinity. After binding, it is internalized and transported into lysosomes where it undergoes proteolytic cleavage and N‑glycans trimming which are both required to yield the most mature and active form of GAA. Cipaglucosidase alfa-atga then exerts enzymatic activity in cleaving glycogen.

Dosing overview

Verify pregnancy status in females of reproductive potential prior to initiating treatment. Administer POMBILITI in combination with Opfolda. Consider administering antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids prior to POMBILITI administration. Recommended POMBILITI dosage is 20 mg/kg (of actual body weight) administered every other week as an intravenous infusion over approximately 4 hours. Start POMBILITI in combination with Opfolda 2 weeks after the last ERT dose. Initiate the POMBILITI infusion approximately 1 hour after oral administration of Opfolda. If the POMBILITI infusion cannot be started within 3 hours of oral administration of Opfolda, reschedule POMBILITI in combination with Opfolda at least 24 hours after Opfolda was last taken. If POMBILITI in combination with Opfolda are both missed, re-start treatment as soon as possible.
