Imiglucerase in the management of Gaucher disease type 1: an evidence-based review of its place in therapy
نویسندگان
چکیده
INTRODUCTION Gaucher disease is the first lysosomal disease to benefit from enzyme replacement therapy, thus serving as model for numerous other lysosomal diseases. Alglucerase was the first glucocerebrosidase purified from placental extracts, and this was then replaced by imiglucerase - a Chinese hamster ovary cell-derived glucocerebrosidase. AIM The aim was to review the evidence underlying the use of imiglucerase in Gaucher disease type 1. EVIDENCE REVIEW Data from clinical trials and Gaucher Registries were analyzed. CONCLUSION Imiglucerase has been prescribed and found to have an excellent efficacy and safety profile. We report herein the evidence-based data published for 26 years justifying the use of imiglucerase.

Review of miglustat for clinical management in Gaucher disease type 1
Gaucher disease is a progressive lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of glucocerebrosidase, and characterized by intralysosomal storage of glucosylceramide that leads to dysfunction in multiple organ systems. Intravenous enzyme replacement with imiglucerase is the accepted standard for treatment of symptomatic patients and has been effective in reducing many of the signs and sym...

Gaucher disease type 1 is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme acid β-glucosidase resulting in accumulation of glucosylceramide and clinical manifestations of anemia, thrombocytopenia, hepatosplenomegaly, and skeletal disease. The historic standard of care is intravenous recombinant enzyme therapy with imiglucerase. Eliglustat, an oral substrate r...

Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessively inherited lysosomal storage disease that results from the defective activity of the enzyme acid β-glucosidase (glucocerebrosidase). Velaglucerase alfa was recently developed and approved as an alternative form to imiglucerase enzyme therapy. Despite differences in primary structure and glycosylation patterns, recent preclinical and clinical trials of ...

Gaucher Disease (GD) is the most common type of Lysosomal Storage Disorder and it is divided into three distinct subtypes. The authors here report four different cases of Gaucher Disease, with varying clinical manifestations, and the diagnosis of each established by the low level of Beta-Glucosidase enzyme as well as genetic DNA testing. The study also highlights the importance of early diagnos...
