Abstract Olipudase alfa, a recombinant human acid sphingomyelinase (ASM), is an enzyme replacement therapy for the treatment of nonneurologic manifestations deficiency (ASMD). This ongoing, open‐label, long‐term study (NCT02004704) assessed safety and efficacy olipudase alfa following 30 months in five adult patients with ASMD. There were no deaths, serious or severe events, discontinuations during treatment. The majority adverse events mild included headache, nausea, abdominal pain. No...

Venglustat is a small-molecule glucosylceramide synthase (GCS) inhibitor designed to reduce the production of (GL-1) and thus expected substantially formation glucosylceramide-based glycosphingolipids. Because its effect on glycosphingolipid formation, GCS inhibition has therapeutic potential across many disorders affecting metabolism. Therefore, venglustat under development for substrate reduction therapy in multiple diseases, including Gaucher disease type 3, Parkinson's associated with...

Glucosylceramide (GL-1) level in human has been considered as a surrogate biomarker for enzyme replacement and substrate reduction therapies (ERT SRT) Gaucher Fabry patients. Due to the high endogenous of GL-1 plasma, it is difficult achieve analytical sensitivity plasma below normal (1.7 μg/mL 6.6 μg/mL) when using standard addition method regular matrix curve. A assay with LLOQ at 0.1 was developed validated delipidized so that patient concentrations are reference range can be measured...
