LUMIZYME (alglucosidase alfa) is an intravenous enzyme replacement therapy for Pompe disease (GSD II), a rare inherited lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of acid maltase (GAA). The drug provides exogenous GAA enzyme that binds to mannose-6-phosphate receptors, is internalized into lysosomes, and cleaves accumulated glycogen to restore metabolic function.
Product is approaching loss of exclusivity with modest Part D spending (~$19M annually), suggesting a mature, stable franchise requiring defensive commercial strategies and potential transition planning.
