Medical Therapy
- Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with infantile onset glycogen storage type 2 (GSD type 2).
- Pharmacologic medical therapies for GSD type 2 include enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase.[1]
- In 2006, ERT was approved by US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of infantile onset GSD type 2.[2]
Glycogen storage disease type 2
- 1 Infantile onset GSD type 2
- 1.1 Enzyme replacement therapy
- Preferred regimen (1): recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase 20 mg/Kg IV every two week
- NOTE (1): If there is poor response to initial therapy, the dose can be increased to 20 mg/kg every week.
- 1.1 Enzyme replacement therapy
