Background: Gaucher disease (GD) is caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is recommended for clinical improvement. Methods: The efficacy and safety of a new imiglucerase, Abcertin, were assessed in 7 Egyptian patients with treatment-naïve type 1 GD. Each patient was administered a biweekly 60 U/kg dose of Abcertin for 6 months. The primary endpoint was the change in hemoglobin concentration. The secondary endpoints were changes from… CONTINUE READING
