Clinical information

From the regulator-approved product information. Each section names its source.

Uses

GALAFOLD is indicated for the treatment of adults with a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease and an amenable galactosidase alpha gene ( GLA ) variant based on in vitro assay data. This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on reduction in kidney interstitial capillary cell globotriaosylceramide (KIC GL-3) substrate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials. GALAFOLD is an alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A) pharmacological chaperone indicated for the treatment of adults with a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease and an amenable galactosidase alpha gene ( GLA ) variant based on in vitro assay data.

How it works

Migalastat is a pharmacological chaperone that reversibly binds to the active site of the alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A) protein (encoded by the galactosidase alpha gene, GLA ), which is deficient in Fabry disease. This binding stabilizes alpha-Gal A allowing its trafficking from the endoplasmic reticulum into the lysosome where it exerts its action. In the lysosome, at a lower pH and at a higher concentration of relevant substrates, migalastat dissociates from alpha-Gal A allowing it to break down the glycosphingolipids globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) and globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb 3 ). Certain GLA variants (mutations) causing Fabry disease result in the production of abnormally folded and less stable forms of the alpha-Gal A protein which, however, retain enzymatic activity.

Dosing overview

Select adults with confirmed Fabry disease who have an amenable GLA variant for treatment with GALAFOLD. Treatment is indicated for patients with an amenable GLA variant that is interpreted by a clinical genetics professional as causing Fabry disease (pathogenic, likely pathogenic) in the clinical context of the patient. Consultation with a clinical genetics professional is strongly recommended in cases where the amenable GLA variant is of uncertain clinical significance (VUS, variant of uncertain significance) or may be benign (not causing Fabry disease). The recommended dosage of GALAFOLD is 123 mg orally once every other day. Take GALAFOLD at the same time of day and do not take on consecutive days. Swallow capsule whole. Do not cut, crush, or chew the capsule. Take GALAFOLD on an empty stomach.

Interactions

See Full Prescribing Information for clinically significant drug interactions. Effect of Other Drugs on GALAFOLD Co-administration of GALAFOLD with caffeine decreases migalastat AUC and C max which may reduce GALAFOLD efficacy. Avoid co-administration of GALAFOLD with caffeine at least 2 hours before and 2 hours after taking GALAFOLD.
