ELAPRASE (idursulfase) is a recombinant lysosomal enzyme replacement therapy designed to treat Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis II), a rare genetic disorder caused by deficiency of the iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme. It works by replacing the missing enzyme to break down glycosaminoglycans that accumulate in cells and tissues. The drug is administered intravenously as a chronic infusion therapy.
Product is in late-stage lifecycle with modest Part D spending (~$6M), suggesting a stable but niche market with limited commercial expansion opportunities and potential team rationalization ahead.
