WHAT MEPSEVII IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
WHAT MEPSEVII IS
Mepsevii contains an enzyme called vestronidase alfa. This belongs to
a group of medicines called
enzyme replacement therapies. It is used in adults and children of all
ages with MPS VII to treat non-
neurological manifestations of the disease (mucopolysaccharidosis VII,
also known as Sly Syndrome).
WHAT IS MPS VII
MPS VII is an illness that runs in families, where the body does not
produce enough of an enzyme
called beta–glucuronidase.
-
This enzyme helps to break down sugars in the body called
mucopolysaccharides.
-
Mucopolysaccharides are made in the body and they help build bones,
cartilage, skin, and
tendons.
-
These sugars are re-cycled all the time – new ones are made and old
ones are broken down.
-
Without enough beta–glucuronidase, parts of these sugars build up in
cells, leading to damage
in the body.

CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1
THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Mepsevii is indicated for the treatment of non-neurological
manifestations of Mucopolysaccharidosis
VII (MPS VII; Sly syndrome).
4.2
POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Treatment should be supervised by a healthcare professional
experienced in the management of
patients with MPS VII or other inherited metabolic disorders.
Administration of vestronidase alfa
should be carried out by an appropriately trained healthcare
professional with the ability to manage
medical emergencies.
Posology
The recommended dose of vestronidase alfa is 4 mg/kg of body weight
administered by intravenous
infusion every two weeks.
To minimise the risk of hypersensitivity reactions, a non-sedating
antihistamine with or without an
antipyretic medicinal product should be administered 30-60 minutes
prior to the start of the infusion
(see section 4.4). Infusion should be avoided if the patient has an
acute febrile or respiratory illness at
the time.
