Lumizyme replaces a missing or deficient enzyme in people with Pompe disease, a genetic disorder caused by the buildup of a sugar called glycogen in the body's cells. The drug is marketed by French drugmaker Sanofi (NASDAQ:SNY) and costs more than $626000 annually.
Pompe disease is estimated to occur in one out of every 40,000 live births. However, the frequency in the African-American population is higher, at roughly one in 14,000 births. Sanofi obtained approval for an earlier Pompe disease treatment called Myozyme in 2006. However, when the company scaled up the bioreactor that produced Myozyme, the FDA required a separate approval process. This led to Lumizyme's approval and launch in 2010.
