Olipudase Alfa in Non-CNS Manifestations of Acid Sphingomyelinase Deficiency: A Profile of Its Use. [PDF]
Olipudase alfa (Xenpozyme™) is an intravenously administered acid sphingomyelinase enzyme replacement therapy indicated to treat non-CNS manifestations of acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) in adult and paediatric patients. It is the first and currently the only disease-modifying treatment for ASMD.
