Naglazyme is used to treat patients with MPS VI (Mucopolisacaridosis VI).

Individuals affected by MPS VI have a low or absent level of an enzyme called N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase that breaks down specific substances (glycosaminoglycans) in the body. As a result, these substances are not broken down and processed by the body as they should. They accumulate in many tissues in the body, which causes the symptoms of MPS VI.

How it worksNaglazyme

This medication contains a recombinant enzyme called galsulfase that can replace the missing natural enzyme in patients with MPS VI. It has been shown that treatment improves walking endurance and reduces the concentrations of glycosaminoglycans in the body. This medication may improve the symptoms of MPS VI.

This information is intended only for healthcare professionals:

Naglazyme should not be mixed with any other medicine in the same infusion, except those mentioned below.

Each vial of Naglazyme is for single use. The concentrate for solution for infusion must be diluted with a sodium chloride 9mg/ml (0.9%) infusion solution using aseptic technique. It is recommended that the diluted Naglazyme solution be administered to patients using an infusion device equipped with an in-line filter of 0.2µm.

Unused medicine and all materials that have been in contact with it will be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

Preparation of the Naglazyme infusion (use aseptic technique)

The number of vials to be diluted will be determined according to the patient's weight and will be removed from the refrigerator approximately 20 minutes in advance to allow them to reach room temperature.

Before dilution, each vial will be visually inspected for the presence of particles or color changes. The solution, which varies from transparent to slightly opalescent and from colorless to pale yellow, should be free of visible particles.

A volume of sodium chloride 9mg/ml (0.9%) infusion solution equal to the total volume of Naglazyme to be added will be withdrawn and discarded from a 250ml infusion bag. The use of 100ml infusion bags may be considered in patients sensitive to fluid overload and weighing less than20kg; in such cases, the infusion rate (ml/min) will be reduced so that the total duration remains not less than 4 hours. If 100ml infusion bags are used, the Naglazyme volume may be added directly to the infusion bag.

The Naglazyme volume will be added slowly to the sodium chloride 9mg/ml (0.9%) infusion solution.

The solution will be mixed gently for infusion.

The solution will be visually inspected for particles before use. Only transparent and colorless solutions without visible particles will be used.
