The present application provides for 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.
1. A method of treating Fabry disease, the method comprising administering a pharmaceutical composition to a patient in need thereof, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises a co-formulation of:
α-galactosidase A at a concentration in the range of about 0.5 to about 20 μM; and
1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a concentration in the range of about 50 μM to about 20,000 μM.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the α-galactosidase A is a recombinant human wild-type α-galactosidase A.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the salt of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin is a hydrochloride salt of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the α-galactosidase A is present at a concentration in the range of about 0.6 μM to about 15 μM and the 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is present at a concentration in the range of about 100 μM to about 15,000 μM.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof and α-galactosidase A are present in a molar ratio of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin to α-galactosidase A of in the range of about 13,000:1 to about 50:1.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered as a dosage, wherein the dosage of α-galactosidase A is in the range of about 0.1 to about 5 mg/kg, and the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is in the range of about 0.1 to about 15 mg/kg.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the dosage of α-galactosidase A is selected from the group consisting of about 0.3 mg/kg, about 0.5 mg/kg, about 1 mg/kg, about 2 mg/kg, and about 3 mg/kg mg/kg.
8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is selected from the group consisting of about 0.1 mg/kg, about 0.3 mg/kg, about 1 mg/kg, about 3 mg/kg, and about 10 mg/kg.
9. The method of claim 6 , wherein the dosage of α-galactosidase A is about 1 mg/kg, and the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is about 3 mg/kg.
10. The method of claim 6 , wherein the dosage of a-galactosidase A is about 3 mg/kg, and wherein the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is about 10 mg/kg.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered in a dose sufficient to achieve a peak plasma concentration of α-galactosidase A at a time point in the range of about 0.2 hours to about 5 hours after the beginning of the administration of the dose.
12. 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.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered intravenously.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient is a mammal.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the patient is a human.
16. A method of treating Fabry disease, the method comprising intravenously administering a pharmaceutical composition to a human patient in need thereof, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises a co-formulation of:
α-galactosidase A at a concentration in the range of 0.5 and 20 μM; and
1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof at a concentration in the range of 50 to 20,000 μM,
wherein the pharmaceutical composition is administered as a dosage, wherein the dosage of α-galactosidase A is in the range of about 0.1 to about 5 mg/kg, and the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is on the range of about 0.1 to about 15 mg/kg.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the dosage of a-galactosidase A is about 1 mg/kg and the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is about 3 mg/kg.
18. The method of claim 16 , wherein the dosage of α-galactosidase A is about 3 mg/kg, and wherein the dosage of 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin or salt thereof is about 10 mg/kg.
