NEXVIAZYME is indicated for the treatment of patients 1 year of age and older with late-onset Pompe disease (lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase [GAA] deficiency). None.

However, available data from postmarketing reports and published case reports on alglucosidase alfa (another hydrolytic lysosomal glycogen-specific enzyme replacement therapy) use in pregnant women have not identified a drug-associated risk of adverse pregnancy 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) . Embryo-fetal toxicity studies performed in pregnant mice resulted in maternal toxicity related to an immunologic response (including an anaphyl
