Development of ADCT involved literature review as well as interviews with patients and physicians, and was funded by Sanofi and Regeneron.

The ADCT gives a measure of how controlled your patient’s eczema is. Use these 6 concise questions to evaluate all dimensions of atopic dermatitis control.

Atopic dermatitis, a type of eczema, may be affecting your patient’s life in more ways than you know.

<h2>Summary of safety information</h2>
Please refer to the <a href="https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/15500/smpc" target="_blank">Summary of Product Characteristics</a> before prescribing.
<h2>Dosage and administration1</h2>
Treatment with Fabrazyme® should be supervised by a physician experienced in the management of patients with Fabry disease or other inherited metabolic diseases.
The recommended dose of Fabrazyme® is 1mg/kg body weight administered once every 2 weeks as an intravenous infusion.
<ul>
</ul>

Special populations

<h3> Administration</h3>
<h4>Intravenous infusion</h4>
Initial IV infusion rate: no more than 0.25 mg/min (15 mg/h)
After patient tolerance is well established, the infusion rate may be increased in increments of 0.05 to 0.083 mg/min (3 to 5 mg/hr) with each subsequent infusion. In the event of infusion-associated reactions, the infusion rate may be slowed.
<h2>Contraindications1</h2>
Life threatening hypersensitivity to agalsidase beta or to any of the excipients of this medicine (listed in section 6.1 of the Summary of Product Characteristics).
Fabrazyme® should not be administered with chloroquine, amiodarone, benoquin or gentamycin due to a theoretical risk of inhibition of intra-cellular α-galactosidase A activity.
<h2>Precautions and Warnings1</h2>
Immunogenicity 
 As agalsidase beta is a recombinant protein, the development of IgG antibodies is anticipated in patients with little or no residual enzyme activity. The majority of patients developed IgG antibodies to agalsidase beta, typically within 3 months of the first Fabrazyme® infusion.
Infusion associated reactions
Patients with antibodies to agalsidase beta have a higher risk of experiencing infusion-associated reactions, defined as any adverse event occurring on the infusion day. These patients should be treated with caution when re-administering agalsidase beta to these patients, and their antibody status should be regularly monitored.
Hypersensitivity
A small number of patients have experienced reactions suggestive of immediate (Type I) hypersensitivity.&nbsp;As with any intravenous protein medicinal product, allergic-type hypersensitivity reactions are possible. If severe allergic or anaphylactic-type reactions occur, immediate discontinuation of the administration of Fabrazyme® should be considered and appropriate treatment initiated.
Patients with advanced renal disease
The effect of Fabrazyme® treatment on the kidneys may be limited in patients with advanced renal disease.
Sodium
This medicinal product contains less than 1 mmol sodium per vial, that is to say essentially 'sodium-free'.
Traceability
To enhance traceability, it is recommended to clearly record the name and batch number of the administered product

<h2>Adverse reactions1</h2>
Adverse reactions are listed by system organ class and frequency in the list below. Within each frequency grouping, adverse reactions are presented in order of decreasing seriousness.1

Very common (≥1/10)

Common (≥1/100 to &lt; 1/10)

Uncommon (≥1/1000 to &lt; 1/100)

Not known (cannot be estimated by data)

The list presents adverse reactions reported from clinical trials (168 patients [154 males, 14 females] treated with Fabrazyme® 1 mg/kg EOW for ≥1 infusion up to a maximum of 5 years).1 Frequencies (very common ≥ 1/10; common ≥ 1/100 to &lt; 1/10 and uncommon ≥ 1/1000 to &lt; 1/100). Adverse reactions reported in post-marketing period are indicated as frequency “not known” (cannot be estimated from data).1 Adverse reactions were mostly mild or moderate in severity.1 Adverse reaction terminology is based upon the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA).1

<h2>Did you know?</h2>
Fabry disease starts early in the kidney and is a silent threat. Progressive accumulation of globotriaocylceramide (GL-3) leads to cellular changes and histological damage.2 Fabry nephropathy shows similarities to other proteinuric nephropathies of metabolic origin.3 Once the mechanisms leading to tissue injury are activated, the progression of Fabry nephropathy becomes irreversible.3,4

Fabrazyme® (agalsidase beta) safety profile

<h2>Fabrazyme® cleared GL-3 in the kidney, heart, and skin in as quickly as 6 months after initiation6</h2>

Adapted from Germain D et al. 2007.6

Study design details

<h2>A potential reduction of life threatening events by 61%3</h2>
61% relative risk reduction of renal, cardiac and cerebrovascular life-threatening events and death in Fabrazyme®-treated patients vs. placebo.3&nbsp;A smaller percentage of Fabrazyme®- treated patients (27%) experienced clinical events vs. placebo (42%).3&nbsp;(Absolute risk reduction = 14%).3
Fabrazyme® substantially lowered the rate of renal, cardiac, and cerebrovascular clinical events among Fabrazyme®-treated vs. placebo-treated patients (risk reduction = 53% ITT population [HR 95% CI: 0.47 (0.21–1.03); p=0.06.3]; risk reduction = 61% per-protocol population [HR 95% CI: 0.39 (0.16–0.93); p=0.034.3]).3

Results are from the population of protocol-adherent patients who followed all of the clinical study guidelines after adjustment for baseline proteinuria.3 
 Adapted from Banikazemi M et al. 2007.3

<h2>Protection from long term progression of renal function decline4</h2>
70.9% slower rate of eGFR decrease in Fabrazyme®-treated patients than a comparable untreated patient, after adjusting for the noted imbalances in gender and proteinuria.4 Fabrazyme®-treated classic Fabry disease patients experience a slower median eGFR decrease (2.46 mL/min/1.73m2/year, 95% CI: [0.63–4.29]; p=0.0087) than comparable untreated patients.4

<h2>Early initiation with Fabrazyme®, before development of fibrosis, could help improve cardiac morphology, function, and exercise capacity5</h2>

Change in exercise capacity during 3 years of ERT5

Adapted from Weidemann F et al. 2009.5 
 A mild but significant improvement in exercise capacity could be demonstrated for patients 
 with no fibrosis (p=0.014).5
