Alpha-galactosidase A and 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin co-formulation for the treatment of fabry disease
View Patent ↗The present application provides compositions comprising α-galactosidase A in combination with an active site-specific chaperone for the α-galactosidase A, and methods for treating Fabry disease in a subject in need thereof, that includes a method of administering to the subject such compositions. The present application also provides methods for increasing the in vitro and in vivo stability of an α-galactosidase A enzyme formulation. The present application also provides methods for treating Fabry disease using intravenous administration of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin.
1. A method of treating Fabry disease in a subject, the method comprising intravenously administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a co-formulation of recombinant human α-galactosidase A and 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered at a dosage of about 0.1 to about 15 mg/kg and the recombinant human α-galactosidase A is administered at a dosage of about 0.1 to about 5 mg/kg.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is selected from the group consisting of about 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is about 0.3 to about 10 mg/kg.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the salt is a hydrochloride salt of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered once per day, once every two days, once every three days, once every four days, once every five days, once every six days, or once every seven days.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the co-formulation comprises:
about 0.5 to about 20 μM recombinant human α-galactosidase A; and
about 50 to about 20,000 μM 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the α-galactosidase A is present at a concentration selected from the group consisting of about 1.2, 2, 4, 8, and 12 μM; and the 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is present at a concentration selected from the group consisting of about 449, 1,495, 4,490, 5 and 14,950 μM.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin and α-galactosidase A are present in a molar ratio of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin to α-galactosidase A of between about 13,000:1 and about 50:1.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered once per day, once every two days, once every three days, once every four days, once every five days, once every six days, or once every seven days.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered every other week.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dosage of recombinant human α-galactosidase A is about 1 to about 3 mg/kg.
12. A method of treating Fabry disease in a subject, the method comprising intravenously administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition comprising a co-formulation of recombinant human α-galactosidase A and 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein the 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof is administered at a dosage of about 0.3 to about 10 mg/kg and the recombinant human α-galactosidase A is administered at a dosage of about 0.1 to about 5 mg/kg, wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered once every seven days or once every other week.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the salt is a hydrochloride salt of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered every other week.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is about 0.3 mg/kg.
16. The method of claim 12 , wherein the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is about 1 mg/kg.
17. The method of claim 12 , wherein the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is about 3 mg/kg.
18. The method of claim 12 , wherein the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is about 10 mg/kg.
19. The method of claim 12 , wherein the dosage of recombinant human α-galactosidase A is about 1 to about 3 mg/kg.
