The Food and Drug Administration has approved a new drug for people with late-onset Pompe disease. This is called alpha alglucosidase (Lumizyme).

Pompe disease affects between 5,000 and 10,000 people worldwide. It is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by lack of an enzyme called acid alpha-1 ,4-glucosidase. This lack leads to an accumulation of glycogen, eventually leading to muscle damage, and can be fatal when respiratory and cardiovascular systems are affected.

Lumizyme replaces alpha-glucosidase is required (GAA) in the body, thus reducing the accumulation of glycogen. The drug, which was approved on the basis of a study of 90 patients between 10 and 70 years, has not been approved for younger patients suffering from Pompe disease. The other effective drug Myozyme market – which has been approved for patients younger people – are currently in short supply and is reserved for those with Pompe disease, less than 8 years.
