WHAT BRINEURA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Brineura contains the active substance cerliponase alfa, which belongs
to a group of medicines known
as enzyme replacement therapies. It is used to treat patients with
neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2
(CLN2) disease, also known as tripeptidyl peptidase-1 (TPP1)
deficiency.
People with CLN2 disease do not have any enzyme called TPP1 or they
have too little of it and this
causes a build-up of substances called lysosomal storage materials. In
people with CLN2 disease,
these materials build-up in certain parts of the body, mainly the
brain.
HOW BRINEURA WORKS
This medicine replaces the missing enzyme, TPP1, which minimises the
build-up of the lysosomal
storage materials. This medicine works to slow the progression of the
disease.
