It was found to have a favourable circulatory half-life of about 80 hours, with targeted enzyme activity in organs that are affected by Fabry disease, in clinical trials.
“Our deepest gratitude to all patients and patient advocates who have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with clinical researchers, scientists, and regulators during the clinical development programme, providing the data needed for this approval.”
The authorisation from EC was based on the data obtained from a comprehensive clinical development programme, which was conducted in oveFabry diseases, who received treatment for up to 7.5 years. The company stated that PRX-102 has been investigated in ERT-experienced aFabry diseasepatients, including in a head-to-head trial. It showed non-inferior efficacy to agalsidase beta in controlling the kidney disease, as assessed by the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline.
Protalix BioTherapeutics president and CEO Dror Bashan said: “The European Commission’s approval of PRX-102 is a significant milestone for patients with Fabry disease and their families, providing a new therapeutic option.
“Based on solid results PRX-102r robust clinical programmes, PRX-102 has the potential to be widely used for many years to come.”
