    Pharmacodynamics:

    Characteristics of the preparation

    Sebelipase alpha is a recombinant human lysosomal acid lipase (rhLAL), purified from the egg protein of transgenic chickens, with the same amino acid sequence as the native human enzyme. Purified amylipase alpha is a glycoprotein with 6 N-linked sites of glycosylation. The glycans of the amylipase alpha are mainly composed of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-linked structures terminating in mannose, as well as mannose-6-phosphate fragments. Described N-glikanovye structure facilitates the absorption of the protein in the macrophage cells via mannose or mannose-6-phosphate receptor.

    Farmacodynamics

    Sebelipaza alpha - recombinant lysosomal acidic lipase, an enzyme which is used as an enzyme replacement therapy, in order to improve lipid metabolism and reduce the accumulation of cholesterol esters and triglycerides in patients of all ages under deficiency of lysosomal acidic lipase (DLKL).

    The deficiency of lysosomal acid lipase (historically Wolman's disease, the accumulation of cholesterol esters) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal accumulation disease characterized by a genetic defect LAL gene, and leading to a marked decrease or loss of activity of the enzyme lysosomal acid lipase (LCL). This deficiency is characterized by the absence of cleavage of cholesterol esters and triglycerides in lysosomes.

    Lysosomal accumulation of esters of cholesterol and triglycerides in the liver leads to hepatomegaly, an increase in the specific proportion of fat in the hepatic tissue, an increase in the levels of transaminases,signaling chronic liver damage, as well as progression to fibrosis, cirrhosis and complications of the terminal stage of liver failure. In the spleen, DLL causes splenomegaly, in the blood - anemia and thrombocytopenia. The accumulation of lipids in the intestinal wall leads to malabsorption and disruption of growth and development. Dyslipidemia is often accompanied by a rise in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and triglyceride levels and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and is associated with an increase in the specific percentage of fat in liver tissue and a rise in the level of transaminases in the blood. Patients with DLLL have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease and a higher rate of atherosclerosis. Deficiency of the enzyme also leads to a decrease in the production of free cholesterol, which leads to an increase in the synthesis of apo-B-containing lipoproteins and slowing down the formation of HDL particles.

    Other lipid-modifying agents can lower LDL cholesterol in patients with LDL, but they do not affect the progression of liver disease, since these drugs do not affect the underlying cause of the enzyme deficiency.

    Based on the results of experimental pharmacological data and clinical studies, it was shown that KANUMA preparation, being a pathogenetic agent of DLLL therapy, promotes improvement of lipid metabolism and normalization of hepatic enzymes level in conditions associated with DLLL.

    Mechanism of action

    Sebelipase alpha binds to cell membrane receptors through glycans expressed on a protein and is subsequently absorbed by lysosomes. Sebelipase alfa catalyzes the lysosomal hydrolysis of esters of cholesterol and triglycerides to free cholesterol, glycerol and free fatty acids. Substitution of enzymatic activity of LCL leads to a decrease in the specific percentage of fat in liver tissue and normalization the level of transaminases in the blood, and also restores the metabolism of cholesterol and triglyceride esters in lysosomes, which leads to lower levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LNVV), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Improved growth and development of the body occurs as a result of a decrease in the accumulation of lipids in the wall of the intestine and, as a consequence,improve the absorption of nutrients.

    Clinical efficacy and safety

    Research the children with newly diagnosed deficiency of lysosomal acid lipase

    Study LAL-CL03 was a multicentre open noncomparative study of the drug KANUMA in 9 patients with DLL with developmental disability or other signs of rapidly progressing disease at the age of up to 6 months. Patients also suffered rapidly progressive insufficiency of liver function and severe hepatosplenomegaly. The age range for inclusion in the study was 1-6 months. Patients received the drug KANUMA at a dose of 0.35 mg / kg once a week for the first 2 weeks and then 1 mg / kg once a week. According to the clinical response, the dose was raised to 3 mg / kg once a week after 1 month and up to 20 months from the start of treatment at a dose of 1 mg / kg. It was allowed to further increase the dose to 5 mg / kg once a week.

    Efficacy was assessed by comparing the survival experience of patients treated with KANUMA, who survived to age 12 months and older in the study LAL CL03, with a historical cohort of untreated infants who have been diagnosed with DLL with similar clinical symptoms. In the study LAL CL03 Six out of nine infants who received the drug KANUMA survived to 12 months or more (67% 12 month survival, 95% CI: 30% to 93%). With the continuation of treatment after 12 months of age, 1 patient died at the age of 15 months. In a historical cohort, 0 out of 21 patients experienced an 8-month age (0% 12 month survival, 95 % CI: 0% to 16 %).

    Taking the drug KANUMA in doses up to 1 mg / kg once a week led to an improvement in the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (ACT) and to weight gain during the first few weeks of treatment. From baseline to week 48, average ALT decline and ACT were 34.0 U / L and 44.5 U / L, respectively. An increase in the dose to 3 mg / kg once a week was associated with an additional improvement in the indices of weight gain, lymphadenopathy and serum albumin. From baseline to week 48, the average percentile of mass body by age improved from 12.74 % up to 29.83%, and the average serum albumin levels rose from 26.7 g / l to 38.7 g / l.

    Children and adults with a deficiency of lysosomal acid lipase

    Study LAL-CL02 was a multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in 66 children and adults with DLLL. Patients were randomized to receive CAIUM preparation at a dose of 1 mg / kg (n = 36) or placebo (n = 30) once every two weeks for 20 weeks of a double-blind period. The age range at the time of randomization was 4-58 years (71% of patients <18 years old). To enter the study, patients were required to have ALT at 1.5 upper limit of the norm (VGN). In the majority of patients (58%), the level of cholesterol was> 190 mg / dl when included in the study; 24% of patients with LDL cholesterol> 190 ml / dL received lipid-lowering medications. Of the 32 patients who underwent liver biopsy at the time of enrollment, 100% had fibrosis and 31 % cirrhosis. The age range of patients with signs of cirrhosis, confirmed by biopsy, was 4-21 years.

    The following endpoints were evaluated: normalization of ALT level, lowering of LDL cholesterol level, lowering of LDL cholesterol level, normalization of level ACT, decrease in triglyceride levels, increase in HDL cholesterol level, decrease in the specific percentage of fatty tissue of the liver, assessed by means of magnetic resonance tomography in the regime of multiple gradient echo (MEGE-MRI), and a decrease in the degree of fatty liver dystrophy measured by morphometry.

    A statistically significant improvement in multiple endpoints was observed in the group treated with KANUMA compared with the placebo group at the end of the 20-week, double-blind study period. The absolute decrease in the average level of ALT was 57.9 U / l (-53%) in the group treated with CAIUMA and 6.7 U / L (-6 %) in the placebo group.

    Paired liver biopsies at baseline and week 20 were available in a subpopulation of patients (n = 26). Of patients with paired liver biopsies in 63 % (10/16) treated with KANUMA, a reduction in fatty liver was recorded (at least 5 % decrease), which was measured by morphometry compared with 40% (4/10) of patients on placebo. This difference was not statistically significant.

    Open period

    Sixty-five of the 66 patients entered the open period (up to 130 weeks) with the introduction drug KANUMA in a dose of 1 mg / kg once every two weeks. In patients who received the drug KANUMA during the double-blind period, there was a decrease in ALT levels achieved during the first 20 weeks of treatment and further improvement of lipid parameters was observed,including LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol levels.

    In patients on placebo, elevated levels of serum transaminases and abnormalities in serum lipid levels persisted during the double-blind period. In accordance with the facts observed in patients treated with KANUMA during the double-blind period, the onset of KANUMA treatment during the open period resulted in a rapid improvement in ALT and lipid levels, including LDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels.

    In a separate open study (LAL CL01/LAL CL04) in adults with DLLL, an improvement in serum transaminase levels and lipid levels persisted throughout the 104-week treatment period.

    Pediatric population

    Age 56 of 84 patients (67 %), who received the drug KANUMA during clinical trials (LAL-CL01/LAL-CL04, LAL-CL02 and LAL-CL03), was in the pediatric and adolescent range (from 1 month to 18 years).

    Pharmacokinetics:

    The pharmacokinetics of the drug KANUMA in children and adults was determined using population pharmacokinetic analysis in 65 patients with DLLL who received intravenous infusions of the drug KANUMA at a dose of 1 mg / kg every two weeks in a study LAL-CL02. The age of 24 patients was 4-11 years, 23 patients from 12 to 17 years and 18 patients ≥ 18 years old. According to a non-compartmental analysis of adult patients (LAL-CL01/LAL-CL-04), the pharmacokinetics of the amylipase alpha looked non-linear with a large dose-proportional increase in the effect observed between dosages of 1 and 3 mg / kg. Cumulation in a dose of 1 mg / kg (once a week or once every two weeks) and 3 mg / kg once a week was not observed.

    Infant population (age <6 months)

    In the study LAL-CL03 the drug KANUMA was eliminated from the systemic blood flow with the median T1 / 2 0.1 h (range: 0.1-0.2) at a dose of 3 mg / kg once a week (n = 4). Differences in the exposure of amylipase alpha between 0.35 mg / kg once a week and 3 mg / kg once a week were more dose-proportional: an 8.6-fold increase in dose gave a 9.6-fold increase in exposure to AUC and a 10.0-fold increase in the Stach.

    Linearity / nonlinearity

    On the basis of these data, the pharmacokinetics of the amylipase alpha was considered to be nonlinear, with a large dose-proportional increase in the exposure observed between doses of 1 and 3 mg / kg.

    Characteristics in specific patient groups

    In the analysis of the covariate of the population-based pharmacokinetic model of amylipase alpha, no significant effect of age, body weight and sex on CL and Vc amylipase alpha. In patients 2 to 4 years of age and patients aged 65 years or older amylipase alpha not investigated.

    Information on the pharmacokinetics of amylipase alpha in non-neuropeople ethnic groups is limited.

    Sebelipase alpha is a protein; It is expected that in the course of metabolism it will be cleaved by peptide hydrolysis. Therefore, it is not expected that a violation of the liver function will affect the pharmacokinetics of the amylipase alpha.

    Renal elimination of amylipase alpha is considered a secondary way of removing the drug. Data in patients with impaired renal function are limited.

    The information on the effect of antibodies to the drug on the pharmacokinetics of the amylipase alpha is limited.

    Indications:KANUMA is indicated for long-term enzyme replacement therapy (PTA) in patients of all ages with a deficiency of lysosomal acid lipase.
    Contraindications:

    Life-threatening hypersensitivity (anaphylactic reaction) to the active substance or to any of the auxiliarysubstances with unsuccessful attempts to re-introduce the drug.

    Carefully:

    Preclinical safety data

    Preclinical data revealed no specific threats to humans in traditional pharmacological safety studies and toxicity when re-administered in rats and monkeys.

    Studies to assess the mutagenic and carcinogenic potential of the amylipase alpha have not been performed at this time.

    Pregnancy and lactation:

    Pregnancy

    There are no data on the use of amylipase alpha by pregnant women. Research on animals do not indicate the presence of direct or indirect negative effects in terms of reproductive toxicity. For the sake of precaution, whenever possible, avoid using the drug KANUMA during pregnancy. The results of a preclinical study on embryonic and peri- and postnatal development in rats and rabbits did not reveal the effect of the drug on these parameters. At the same time, there were no undesirable results in studies of embryo-fetal development in rats and rabbits in doses at least 50 times higher than human doses.

    Lactation

    There are no data on studies involving women who are breast-feeding. It is not known whether the blood is excreted amylipase alpha with breast milk. It is necessary to decide whether to stop breastfeeding or stop treatment with KANUMA, taking into account the benefits of breastfeeding for a child and the benefits of treatment for a woman.

    Fertility

    There are no clinical data on the effects of amylipase alpha on fertility. Studies in animals showed no signs of impaired fertility.
    Dosing and Administration:

    Treatment with KANUMA should be performed under the guidance of an experienced physician who is well versed in the management of patients with DLL, other metabolic disorders or chronic liver disease. The drug KANUMA should be administered by a trained medical worker who knows how to deal with medical emergency conditions.

    It is important to begin treatment with the drug as soon as possible after the diagnosis of DLLL.

    Young children (<6 months of age) with recently identified DLLCL

    The recommended initial dose in young children (<6 months) with newly diagnosed rapidly progressing DLL is 1 mg / kg and administered as an intravenous infusion once a week.Depending on the clinical response, the possibility of a gradual increase in dosage to 3 mg / kg once a week should be considered.

    Children and adults with DLLCL

    The recommended dose for children older than 6 months and adults with DLL is 1 mg / kg and is administered as an intravenous infusion once every two weeks.

    Patients over 65 years of age

    Safety and efficacy of KANUMA in patients older than 65 years was evaluated, therefore, there are no recommendations for alternative dosage in such patients.

    Renal or hepatic impairment

    Recommendations for dose adjustment in the case of patients with renal or hepatic insufficiency, taking into account current information about the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of amylipase alpha, are absent.

    Pediatric population

    Fifty-six of the 84 patients (67%) who received the drug KANUMA during clinical trials were in pediatric and adolescence (1 month to 18 years). Data on the use of amylipase alpha in children from 2 to 4 years of age are limited. The dosage in this pediatric population is the same as that for adults.

    Patients with overweight and obesity

    The safety and efficacy of Kanuma was not assessed in this category of patients. An alternative dosing regimen depending on the clinical response may be recommended.

    Method of administration

    The drug KANUMA is intended only for intravenous administration.

    The entire infusion volume should be administered for about 2 hours. After ascertaining the tolerability of the drug by the patient, the option of switching to a one-hour infusion may be considered. If the dose is increased, the duration of the infusion can be increased.

    The drug KANUMA should be injected through a 0.2 μm filter.

    Each flask of the drug KANUMA is intended only for single use. The drug must be diluted Kanuma sodium chloride 9 mg / ml (0.9%) of sodium infusion aseptically.

    The dilution was administered to patients via infusions systems with low protein binding, possibly equipped with a weakly binding proteins flow filter with a pore size of 0.2 microns with a surface area greater than 4.5 cm2, to avoid occlusion of the filter.

    Preparation of the administration of the drug CANUM

    Preparation and administration of the drug KANUMA should be carried out in accordance with the following steps. It is necessary to follow the rules of asepsis.

    a. Determine the number of vials that will need to be diluted for infusion, based on the patient's body weight and the prescribed dose.

    b. Allow the bottles with KANUMA preparation to reach room temperature (15-25 ° C) before dilution (about 30 minutes) in order to minimize the possibility of forming protein particles of amylipase alpha in solution. Do not leave bottles at room temperature for longer than 24 hours, before dilution for infusion. Vials should not be frozen, not heated, do not expose the microwave oven and protect from light.

    at. Do not shake. Before breeding, visually examine the solution in the vial (s); the preparation must comply with the description (see section "Description"). Do not use the drug in case of discoloration, turbidity, or the presence of foreign mechanical inclusions. Since this preparation is a protein solution, semi-transparent protein-like particles can be present in the vials.

    Description of individual adverse reactions

    Hypersensitivity

    Three of the 106 (3 %) patients treated with KANUMA in clinical trials developed signs and symptoms corresponding to anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis developed during the infusion no later than one year after the start of treatment.

    In clinical trials, 21 of 106 (20%) patients treated with KANUMA, including 9 of 14 (64%) infants and 12 of 92 (13%) children and adults, developed signs and symptoms, or corresponding hypersensitivity reactions, or possibly associated with it. The signs and symptoms that occurred in two or more participants included abdominal pain, agitation, chills, diarrhea, eczema, arterial hypertension, irritability, laryngeal edema, nausea, swelling, pallor, itching, fever / fever, rash, tachycardia , hives and vomiting. Most reactions developed during infusion or within 4 hours of the completion of infusion.

    Transient hyperlipidemia

    According to the known mechanism of action of the drug, asymptomatic elevation of levels circulating in the bloodstream of cholesterol and triglycerides was observed after the start of treatment with the drug KANUMA. These rises usually occurred within the first 2-4 weeks and were weakened for a further 8 weeks of treatment with KANUMA.

    Immunogenicity

    Patients had antibodies to the drug (ALP) to self-lipase alpha.

    In the study LAL CL03 in 4 out of 7 infants (57 %) During treatment with the drug KANUMA ALP appeared. During the first detection of ALP, 3 patients received a dose of 1 mg / kg once a week and 1 patient received a dose of 3 mg / kg once a week. In the majority of patients who developed ALP, this occurred during the first 2 months of exposure. ALP titers fell to undetectable levels with continued treatment in 3 out of 4 patients. Two patients have antibodies that are in vitro inhibit the activity of the enzyme and its uptake by cells.

    In the study LAL CL02 in 5 out of 35 children and adults (14%) who received the drug KANUMA during the 20-week double-blind study period, ALPs were formed. All patients received 1 mg / kg once every two weeks. In those patients who developed ALP, this occurred during the first 3 months of exposure. With continued treatment, ALP titers fell to undetectable levels in all patients. Two patients had a positive reaction at only one control point. None of the patients had antibodies, in vitro inhibiting enzyme activity or enzyme uptake by cells.

    The relationship between the occurrence of ALP to the self-lipase alpha and the decrease in the effectiveness of treatment or the development of unwanted reactions has not been revealed.

    Overdose:

    In clinical studies, doses of amylipase alpha to 5 mg / kg once a week were studied. Special symptoms after application of higher doses were not revealed.

    In experimental animal studies on the study of chronic toxicity in young Javanica monkeys, the results showed no toxicity at doses up to 30 times higher than the human dose.

    Interaction:

    Interaction studies have not been conducted. Because the amylipase alpha is a recombinant human protein, the likelihood that it interacts with other drugs, including cytochrome P450 is mediated is small.

    Pharmacological Compatibility

    Since studies on compatibility with this drug have not been conducted, it should not be confused with other drugs.

    Special instructions:

    Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis

    Patients who received the drug KANUMA, hypersensitivity reactions have been reported, including cases of anaphylaxis. For this reason, with the introduction of amylipase alpha, appropriate medical supplies must be available.In the case of the development of such reactions, it is necessary to stop the drug immediately KANUMA and begin appropriate therapeutic treatment. At the same time, it is necessary to follow the current medical standards of emergency care.

    We should weigh the risk and benefit of repeated attempts to administer the drug KANUMA, after the onset of severe reactions. With regard to patients, during infusion, experienced allergic reactions, with repeated administration of the drug, it is necessary to exercise caution.

    Measures to combat hypersensitivity reactions may include temporary discontinuation of infusion, a reduction in its rate and (or) administration of antihistamines, antipyretics and (or) corticosteroids. When the infusion is temporarily stopped, it can then be resumed at a slower rate, with a subsequent increase, in accordance with tolerability. Preventive treatment with antipyretics and (or) antihistamines may prevent subsequent reactions in cases where symptomatic treatment was required.

    In cases of pronounced reaction to infusion, and also when the therapeutic effect is insufficient, patients should be tested for the presence of antibodies.

    A medicinal preparation may contain traces of a chicken egg protein. Patients with allergic reactions to a chicken egg were excluded from clinical trials.

    After the first infusion of nimipase alpha, including the first infusion after increasing the dose, patients should be monitored for at least an hour to monitor the condition and identify symptoms and signs of anaphylaxis or a pronounced hypersensitivity reaction.
