6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates observed in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
NAGLAZYME was studied in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in which 19 patients received weekly infusions of 1 mg/kg NAGLAZYME and 20 patients received placebo;
of the 39 patients 66% were female, and 62% were White, non-Hispanic.
Patients were aged 5 years to 29 years.
NAGLAZYME-treated patients were approximately 3 years older than placebo-treated patients (mean age 13.7 years versus 10.7 years, respectively).
Serious adverse reactions experienced in this trial include apnea, pyrexia, and respiratory distress.
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS Immune-Mediated Reactions : Immune-mediated reactions can occur with NAGLAZYME.
Monitor patients for the development of immune complex-mediated reactions while receiving NAGLAZYME.
( 5.2 ) Risk of Acute Cardiorespiratory Failure : Caution should be exercised when administering NAGLAZYME to patients susceptible to fluid volume overload.
Consider a decreased total infusion volume and infusion rate when administering NAGLAZYME to these patients.
Appropriate medical monitoring and support measures should be available during infusion.
Like all medications, Naglazyme can cause side effects. However, not everyone who takes this medication will experience them. Many side effects are dose-dependent and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Others may require dose adjustment or medical attention.
