Elelyso® for Gaucher Disease
First plant cell derived recombinant protein approved by the FDA
Gaucher Disease
- Rare autosomal recessive disorder: affects 1 in 40,000 people
- Glucocerebrosidase (GCD) enzyme deficiency resulting in accumulation of glucosylceramide, a lipid, in bone marrow, lungs, spleen, liver and sometimes brain
Product
• Elelyso (alfataliglicerase in Brazil) is a proprietary, recombinant form of GCD for long-term treatment of patients with a confirmed diagnosis of type 1 Gaucher disease
- Expressed through our ProCellEx® platform
Symptoms and Treatment
- Possible symptoms include enlarged liver and spleen, various bone disorders, easy bruising and bleeding and anemia
- Left untreated, it can cause permanent body damage and decreased life expectancy
- Standard of Care: Enzyme Replacement Therapy
Commercial Potential
- Approved in 23 markets
- Worldwide exclusive license agreement with Pfizer in 2009, amended in 2015 (excluding Brazil)
- Sales ~$10.4M in Brazil (FY2023) via Fundação Oswaldo Cruz
- Market share in Brazil: ~27%
1. Approved in 23 markets including the US, Australia, Canada, Israel, Brazil, Russia and Turkey. In 2010, the European Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) gave a positive opinion but also concluded that the medicine cannot be granted marketing authorization in the EU because of the market exclusivity that had been granted to Vpriv® (Shire), which was authorized in August 2010, for the same condition. The orphan market exclusivity expired in August 2022.

Elfabrio® for Fabry Disease
Second plant cell derived recombinant protein approved by the FDA
Fabry Disease
- Rare X-linked disease: affecting about one in every 40,000 to 60,000 men worldwide
- α-galactosidase-Aenzyme deficiency leads to accumulation of the fatty substance globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) in blood and blood vessel walls throughout the body
Symptoms and Treatment
- Progressive disease that can lead to renal failure, cardiomyopathy with potentially malignant cardiac arrhythmias, and strokes
- Symptoms such as abdominal and neuropathic pain can appear in patients as young as two years old
- Standard of Care: Enzyme Replacement Therapy (Replagal® or Fabrazyme®1,2)
Product
- Elfabrio (pegunigalsidase alfa): Chemically Modified, Plant Cell Derived, PEGylated, Covalently Linked Homodimer

Gout
Most Common Inflammatory Arthritis
Accumulation of Excess Uric Acid
Systemic Disease | Currently Available Therapies |
Gout affects approximately 14 million people in the U.S.
~5% (estimated) of the gout population is considered to have chronic refractory gout
Hyperuricemia leads to deposition of monosodium urate crystals (tophi) in joints, tendons and other tissues
Triggers recurrent episodes of pronounced acute inflammation, known as gout flares
Gout flares can lead to substantial morbidity, severe pain, reduced quality of life, decreased physical function
Co-morbidities associated with gout include hypertension, cardiovascular disease, renal impairment, diabetes, obesity, hyperlipidemia, and frequently in a combination known as the metabolic syndrome
First-line xanthine oxidase inhibitors (XOIs): Allopurinol and Febuxostat
One recombinant uricase approved for chronic gout in adult patients refractory to conventional therapy as every two-week injection: Krystexxa® 1
1 Krystexxa has a "Black Box" safety warning for anaphylaxis and infusion reactions. It is not approved for use in the E.U.
