Clinical information

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

Uses

ELFABRIO is indicated for the treatment of adults with confirmed Fabry disease. ELFABRIO is a hydrolytic lysosomal neutral glycosphingolipid-specific enzyme indicated for the treatment of adults with confirmed Fabry disease.

Source: US FDA prescribing information

How it works

Fabry disease is caused by deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. ELFABRIO provides an exogenous source of alpha-galactosidase A. ELFABRIO is internalized and transported into lysosomes where it is thought to exert enzymatic activity and reduce accumulated globotriaosylceramide (Gb3).

Dosing overview

For pretreatment recommendations, see Full Prescribing Information. Recommended dosage is 1 mg/kg every 2 weeks administered as an intravenous infusion. For dosage and administration modifications due to hypersensitivity reactions or infusion-associated reactions (IARs), see Full Prescribing Information. For instructions on preparation (including dilution), storage, and administration (including rates for the initial 4-6 infusions for ERT-experienced and ERT-naïve patients), see Full Prescribing Information. 2. 1 Recommendations Prior to ELFABRIO Treatment Pretreatment In enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)-experienced patients, if pretreatment with antihistamines, antipyretics, and/or corticosteroids was used prior to ERT administration, consider similar pretreatment with these medications before the first several ELFABRIO infusions.
