Elfabrio®

Understanding Elfabrio®

Elfabrio® (pegunigalsidase alfa-iwxj) is an enzyme replacement therapy designed for adults with confirmed Fabry disease. This therapy supplements the deficient alpha-galactosidase A enzyme, aiding in the breakdown of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) deposits that accumulate in tissues such as the kidneys, heart, and nervous system.

How Elfabrio® Works:

  • Enzyme Replacement: Provides the missing alpha-galactosidase A enzyme, facilitating the breakdown of harmful Gb3 deposits.

  • Disease Management: Aims to reduce the progression of Fabry disease by addressing the underlying enzyme deficiency.

  • Regular Infusions: Administered intravenously every two weeks under the supervision of a healthcare professional.

FDA Approval:

  • Elfabrio® was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on May 9, 2023, for the treatment of adult patients with confirmed Fabry disease.
