safety and efficacy of prx-102 in patients with fabry disease currently treated with replagal® (agalsidase alfa)

Conditions: Fabry Disease

Summary: this is an open label switch over study to assess the safety and efficacy of prx-102 (pegunigalsidase alfa). patients treated with agalsidase alfa for at least 2 years and on a stable dose (\>80% labelled dose/kg) for at least 6 months. patients will be screened and evaluated over 3 months while continuing on agalsidase alfa. following the screening period, the patient will be enrolled and switched from their agalsidase alfa treatment to receive intravenous (iv) infusions of prx-102 1 mg/kg every two weeks for 12 months. no more than 25% of treated patients will be female.

dosage and administration details: pegunigalsidase alfa individual dose for each patient was prepared according to the patient's weight. pegunigalsidase alfa administrated at 1 mg/kg, intravenously over 3 hours, every 2 weeks. after the first 2 months of treatment with pegunigalsidase alfa, infusion time may be reduced gradually to 1.5 hours pending patient tolerability.
