Asfotase Alfa Treatment Improves Survival for Perinatal and Infantile Hypophosphatasia

Abstract: Asfotase alfa mineralizes the HPP skeleton, including the ribs, and improves respiratory function and survival in life-threatening perinatal and infantile HPP.

“…Impaired hydrolysis of PLP in severely affected babies can lead to neurotransmitter deficiency and vitamin B 6 -dependent seizures (11). The clinical expressivity of hypophosphatasia is classified according to whether there are dental complications alone (odontohypophosphatasia) or to patient age when skeletal and other problems first manifest (1,2,12). Perinatal hypophosphatasia is almost always fatal soon after birth (13), and infantile hypophosphatasia has a mortality estimate of 50% during the first year of life (1,2).…”

“…Currently, new pharmacologic treatment includes using enzyme replacement therapy with asfotase alfa to help replace ALP. Recent literature shows asfotase alfa to be effective in treating, decreasing the burden of disease, and improving overall survival of HPP patients [18,19].…”

“…Currently, specific medical treatment options for HPP are limited to bone-targeted enzyme replacement therapy (asfotase alfa, Strensiq, Alexion), approved for pediatric-onset HPP (22,37). However, there is only limited evidence demonstrating its efficacy in adults with mild and/or late-onset forms of HPP, and in particular patients with adult onset of the disease are not covered by the label.…”

“…with a historical cohort, along with improved skeletal mineralization and significant reductions in the TNSALP substrates PPi and PLP (21,22). However, access to this enzyme replacement therapy is limited by regulatory specifications.…”
