From diagnosis to disease-specific treatment: first experience with enzyme replacement therapy for Fabry disease in North Macedonia—a case series [PDF]
BackgroundFabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of α-galactosidase A, leading to progressive accumulation of globotriaosylceramide and Lyso-Gb3 across multiple organ systems.

Current status of the immunogenicity of enzyme replacement therapy in fabry disease [PDF]
In patients with Fabry disease (FD), treatment with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), may trigger the formation of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs). The consequences of this immune reaction range from the transient appearance of clinically insignificant ADAs ...

Long-term efficacy and safety of pegunigalsidase alfa administered every 4 weeks in adults with Fabry disease: results from up to 5 years of the BRIGHT F51 phase III, open-label extension study [PDF]
Background Enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs) approved for Fabry disease require infusions every 2 weeks (E2W). Pegunigalsidase alfa, a PEGylated ERT with a prolonged half-life vs. other ERTs, may allow extension of the dosing interval to every 4 weeks (

Head-to-head trial of pegunigalsidase alfa versus agalsidase beta in patients with Fabry disease and deteriorating renal function: results from the 2-year randomised phase III BALANCE study. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Pegunigalsidase alfa is a PEGylated α-galactosidase A enzyme replacement therapy. BALANCE (NCT02795676) assessed non-inferiority of pegunigalsidase alfa versus agalsidase beta in adults with Fabry disease with an annualised estimated ...

Occurrence of Infusion Associated Reactions and Antidrug Antibodies in Enzyme Replacement Therapy for Fabry Disease and the Effect of Preventive Measures. [PDF]
Occurrence of infusion associated reactions and anti‐drug antibodies in enzyme replacement therapy for Fabry disease and the effect of preventive measures. ABSTRACT Male patients with the classical phenotype of Fabry disease (FD) are at risk of developing inhibiting antidrug antibodies (iADAs) against recombinant α‐galactosidase‐A, administered in the ...

Pre-existing anti-drug antibodies in Fabry disease show less affinity for pegunigalsidase alfa
We analyzed the cross-reactivity of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) against agalsidase-alfa and -beta from 49 patients with Fabry disease (FD) against the novel PEGylated enzyme pegunigalsidase-alfa (PRX-102).

Assessment and impact of dose escalation on anti-drug antibodies in Fabry disease
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant α-galactosidase A (AGAL) can lead to the formation of neutralizing anti-drug antibodies (ADA), which significantly limit treatment efficacy in patients with Fabry disease (FD).
