Early Diagnosis of and R&D in Lysosomal Storage Disorders to Augment Growth of Lysosomal Alpha Glucosidase Market
Acid alpha-glucosidase is an enzyme that helps to break down glycogen in the lysosome. Lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase deficiency may lead to Pompe disease, glycogen storage disease II, and acid maltase deficiency.
Market Dynamics
Early
diagnosis of lysosomal storage disorders is expected to propel growth of the lysosomal
alpha glucosidase market. For instance, in January 2021, in the U.S., The
Kansas Department of Health and Environment, added two lysosomal storage
disorders to the Kansas Newborn Screening blood spot panel: Pompe Disease and
Mucopolysaccharidoses I (MPS I).
R&D
in lysosomal storage disorders is expected to offer lucrative growth
opportunities for players in the lysosomal alpha glucosidase market. For
instance, in October 2020, The European Medicines Agency accepted for review
the Marketing Authorization Application for avalglucosidase alfa, for long-term
enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of patients with Pompe disease
(acid a-glucosidase deficiency).
Similarly,
in February 2021, a study presented by Sanofi Genzyme during the WORLDSymposium
2021 Virtual meeting, reported that investigational recombinant human lysosomal
acid α-glucosidase enzyme replacement therapy avalglucosidase alfa generated
substantial clinical improvements in patients with late-onset Pompe disease
versus alglucosidase alfa. In February 2021, Spark Therapeutics, a member of
the Roche Group, announced the dosing of the first participant in the Phase 1/2
RESOLUTESM trial of SPK-3006, an investigational liver-directed
adeno-associated viral vector gene therapy for late-onset Pompe disease.
However,
clinical trial failures are expected to hinder growth of the lysosomal alpha
glucosidase market. For instance, in February 2021, Amicus Therapeutics’s Phase
III PROPEL pivotal trial of cipaglucosidase alfa and miglustat for late-onset
Pompe disease failed to achieve primary endpoint.
The
lysosomal alpha glucosidase market is witnessing increasing adoption of enzyme
replacement therapy for the treatment of lysosomal storage disorders. For
instance, in 2020, The European Medicines Agency accepted for review the
Marketing Authorization Application for avalglucosidase alfa, for long-term
enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of patients with Pompe disease.
Competitive Analysis
Major
players operating in the lysosomal alpha glucosidase market include, Genzyme
Corp., a unit of Sanofi, Pharming Group N.V., Valerion Therapeutic, M6P
Therapeutics, Audentes Therapeutics, Inc. and Oxyrane.
Major
players operating in the lysosomal alpha glucosidase market are focused on
R&D to expand their product portfolio. For instance, in June 2020, Sanofi’s
investigational enzyme replacement therapy avalglucosidase alfa, demonstrated
clinically meaningful improvement in critical manifestations (respiratory
impairment and decreased mobility) of late-onset Pompe disease. Similarly, in
February 2021, M6P Therapeutics reported preclinical efficacy and safety
results for Gaucher disease and mucolipidosis II (MLII) respectively.
