Overview

Xenpozyme is a medicine for treating patients with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD), a genetic condition, historically known as Niemann-Pick disease type A, A/B and B. There are three types of Niemann-Pick disease (A, B and C), with different genetic causes and different symptoms. Xenpozyme is used to treat patients with type A/B or type B. It is intended to treat the symptoms of ASMD that are not related to the brain.

Niemann-Pick disease is rare, and Xenpozyme was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 5 December 2016. Further information on the orphan designation can be found here: ema.europa.eu/medicines/human/orphan-designations/eu-3-01-056.

Xenpozyme contains the active substance olipudase alfa.
