PRESCRIPTION DRUG
LUMIZYME® (alglucosidase alfa) [see Description (11)] is a hydrolytic lysosomal glycogen-specific enzyme indicated for patients with Pompe disease (acid α-glucosidase [GAA] deficiency). None. Risk Summary Data from postmarketing reports and published case reports with alglucosidase alfa use in pregnant women have not identified a LUMIZYME-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. The continuation of treatment for Pompe disease during pregnancy should be individualized to the pregnant woman. Untreated Pompe disease may result in worsening disease symptoms in pregnant women [see Clinical Considerations] . Reproduction studies performed in mice and rabbits at doses resulting in exposures up to 0.4 or 0.5 times the human steady-state AUC (area under the plasma concentration-time curve), respectively, during the period of organogenesis revealed no evidence of effects on embryo-fetal development. In mice there was an increase in pup mortality during lactation
