sacrosidase
Drug data last refreshed 15h ago · AI intelligence enriched 1w ago
SUCRAID (sacrosidase) is an oral enzyme replacement therapy approved in 1998 for congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (CSID), a rare inherited disorder affecting carbohydrate digestion. The drug is a sucrose-specific enzyme that replaces missing intestinal enzymes, allowing patients to digest sucrose and improve nutritional outcomes. It is administered as an oral solution and represents a niche, life-long treatment for a small population of pediatric and adult patients.
Product is approaching loss of exclusivity with modest Part D spending (~$77M annually on 6,130 claims), indicating a small, stable patient base with limited growth trajectory and likely lean commercial team.
