The impact of sphingomyelin on the pathophysiology and treatment response to olipudase alfa in acid sphingomyelinase deficiency [PDF]
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare progressive genetic disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the SMPD1 gene causing low or absent activity of the enzyme acid sphingomyelinase, resulting in subsequent accumulation of its substrate ...

Long-Term Safety and Clinical Outcomes With Olipudase Alfa Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Children and Adolescents With Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) is a rare lysosomal storage disease characterized by hepatosplenomegaly, pulmonary dysfunction, dyslipidemia, and growth deficits. Olipudase alfa (recombinant‐human ASM) is the only treatment for non‐central‐nervous‐system ASMD manifestations in children and adults.

Successful within-patient dose escalation of olipudase alfa in acid sphingomyelinase deficiency [PDF]
Olipudase alfa, a recombinant human acid sphingomyelinase (rhASM), is an investigational enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for patients with ASM deficiency [ASMD; Niemann-Pick Disease (NPD) A and B]. This open-label phase 1b study assessed the safety and tolerability of olipudase alfa using within-patient dose escalation to gradually debulk accumulated ...

Olipudase alfa for treatment of acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD): safety and efficacy in adults treated for 30 months [PDF]
AbstractOlipudase alfa, a recombinant human acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), is an enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of nonneurologic manifestations of acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD). This ongoing, open‐label, long‐term study (NCT02004704) assessed safety and efficacy of olipudase alfa following 30 months of treatment in five adult ...

Clearance of Hepatic Sphingomyelin by Olipudase Alfa Is Associated With Improvement in Lipid Profiles in Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency [PDF]
Acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD; Niemann-Pick disease type A and B) is a lysosomal storage disorder characterized by abnormal intracellular sphingomyelin (SM) accumulation. Prominent liver involvement results in hepatomegaly, fibrosis/cirrhosis, abnormal liver chemistries, and a proatherogenic lipid profile. Olipudase alfa (recombinant human ASM)
