BACKGROUND: Between 2009 and 2012, there was a worldwide shortage of agalsidase-β for the treatment of Fabry disease. Therefore, alternative treatments were needed, including switching to a different enzyme-replacement therapy.
PURPOSE: This is an ongoing observational study assessing the effects of switching from agalsidase-β (1.0 mg/kg every other week) to agalsidase-α (0.2 mg/kg every other week) in 11 patients with Fabry disease.
METHODS: Clinical data were collected for 5 years-2 years before switching and 3 years after switching.
RESULTS: Measures of renal function such as estimated glomerular filtration rate remained stable during the 3 years after switching to agalsidase-α. Improvements in cardiac mass were recorded in both male and female patients 12 months after switching to agalsidase-α, and the benefit was maintained during 36 months of follow-up. There was no significant difference in the severity of pain experienced by patients before and after switching enzyme-replacement therapy, and no difference in quality-of-life parameters. Agalsidase-α was generally well tolerated, and no patients experienced allergy or developed antibodies to agalsidase-α.
CONCLUSION: This observational study supports the safety of switching from agalsidase-β to agalsidase-α at the approved doses, with no loss of efficacy. It also suggests that if an infusion-related allergic reaction occurs in a patient receiving agalsidase-β, switching to agalsidase-α may be a viable option.
