Drug data last refreshed 18h ago · AI intelligence enriched 2w ago
ELAPRASE (idursulfase) is a recombinant lysosomal enzyme replacement therapy that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glycosaminoglycans in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis II (Hunter syndrome). Administered intravenously, it replaces deficient iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme activity to reduce substrate accumulation in lysosomes. This enzyme therapy targets a rare genetic storage disorder affecting multiple organ systems.
Approaching loss of exclusivity with modest Part D spend ($6M) and declining patient base (71 claims), signaling potential team consolidation and shift toward market defense strategies.
