Why we developed Nexviadyme®▼ (avalglucosidase alfa)
This is intended for HCPs practising in Great Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) only.
In this video, find out how we used glycoengineering and chemical conjugation to help overcome the challenge of cellular delivery of acid alpha-glucosidase, by increasing the levels of bis-M6P1,4 compared to Myozyme (alglucosidase alfa).
Our commitment to rare diseases
Find out how we have led with science for over 30 years,5 and continue to bring innovation to people living with lysosomal storage disorders.
How Nexviadyme® was designed
Watch how we used preclinical mice models of Pompe to design Nexviadyme®, and improve maintenance of muscle strength compared to Myozyme®.1,3
