Elelyso®

Understanding Elelyso® 

Elelyso® (taliglucerase alfa) is an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) used to treat Type 1 Gaucher disease, a rare genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down glucocerebroside, a fatty substance that, when accumulated, leads to enlarged organs, anemia, low platelet counts, and bone complications.

How Elelyso® Works:

  • Replaces the missing glucocerebrosidase enzyme
  • Helps break down glucocerebroside, reducing its buildup in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow
  • Improves symptoms such as organ enlargement, anemia, and bone pain

FDA Approval:

  • Elelyso®: Approved in 2012 for adults, with subsequent expansion to include pediatric patients
