WHAT LAMZEDE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Lamzede contains the active substance velmanase alfa which belongs to
a group of medicines known
as enzyme replacement therapies. It is used to treat patients with
mild to moderate alpha-mannosidosis
disease. It is given for the treatment of non-neurological symptoms of
the disease.
Alpha-mannosidosis disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by a lack
of an enzyme named
alpha-mannosidase, which is needed to break down certain sugar
compounds (called ‘mannose-rich
oligosaccharides’) in the body. When this enzyme is missing or does
not work properly, these sugar
compounds build up inside cells and cause the signs and symptoms of
the disease. The typical
manifestations of the disease include distinctive facial features,
mental retardation, difficulty in
controlling movements, difficulties in hearing and speaking, frequent
infections, skeletal problems,
muscle pain and weakness.
Velmanase alfa is designed to replace the missing enzyme in patients
with alpha-mannosidosis
disease.
