  • Title: Cipaglucosidase Alfa: First Approval.
    Author: Blair HA.
    Journal: Drugs; 2023 Jun; 83(8):739-745. PubMed ID: 37184753.
    Abstract:
    Cipaglucosidase alfa (Pombiliti™) is a recombinant human acid α-glucosidase (GAA) product being developed by Amicus Therapeutics along with the enzyme stabilizer miglustat as a two-component therapy for Pompe disease. Pompe disease is a rare, inherited lysosomal disease caused by a deficiency of the enzyme GAA, which leads to accumulation of glycogen in various tissues. On 27 March 2023, cipaglucosidase alfa was approved in the EU as a long-term enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) used in combination with miglustat for the treatment of adults with late-onset Pompe disease. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of cipaglucosidase alfa leading to this first approval.
