WHAT GLYBERA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Glybera contains alipogene tiparvovec, a gene therapy product that
works by delivering a gene into the
body to correct a genetic deficiency. It belongs to a group of
medicines called lipid modifying agents.
Glybera is used to treat a specific inherited condition known as
“lipoprotein lipase deficiency
(LPLD)”.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a naturally occurring substance in the
body (known as an enzyme) that
controls the level of certain fats in the blood. In lipoprotein lipase
deficiency, this enzyme is missing
due to a genetic defect. People who are affected by this condition
have a build up of very high fat
levels in their blood (hyperchylomicronemia).
Glybera is used to treat adult patients diagnosed with lipoprotein
lipase deficiency (L
