VIMIZIM® (elosulfase alfa) improves endurance at 6 months

In a 24-week clinical trial, people who received VIMIZIM infusions every week improved their endurance as measured by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT).

The number of people included in the study was intentionally chosen to see the effect of VIMIZIM on the 6-minute walk test and the 3-minute stair climbing test. Other tests or measures were assessed to see if they might be valid for future study.

In a 24-week clinical trial, people who received VIMIZIM infusions every week improved their endurance as measured by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT).

The number of people included in the study was intentionally chosen to see the effect of VIMIZIM on the 6-minute walk test and the 3-minute stair climbing test. Other tests or measures were assessed to see if they might be valid for future study.

This graph shows that by the end of a 24-week trial, people who took VIMIZIM once a week walked an average of 23.9% farther than  at baseline

People who took VIMIZIM every other week did not show much improvement, and their results were similar to the people who took  a placebo

Serious and severe reactions were associated with VIMIZIM, including hypersensitivity reactions as well as life-threatening allergic reactions (anaphylaxis). In clinical trials, 18.7% of patients treated with VIMIZIM experienced hypersensitivity reactions and 7.7% experienced anaphylaxis.

Maintaining weekly infusions is essential to making the most out of your treatment

aA baseline is a measurement of a person’s performance before they begin treatment in a clinical trial. To participate in the clinical trial for VIMIZIM, people had to be able to walk more than 30 meters but less than 325 meters in 6 minutes. bA placebo is a harmless substance that does not contain any medicine.

      VIMIZIM® (elosulfase alfa) also showed positive results across many efficacy measures

      Although statistical significance was only observed in the 6MWT results, favorable improvement was seen in the majority of exploratory efficacy endpoints.

      Talk to your doctor about your individual VIMIZIM treatment goals 

      Knowing what to expect from your treatment with VIMIZIM can help you know what “success” looks like. For some people, this might mean that the impact of Morquio A becomes stabilized. Work with your doctor to come up with treatment goals that are right for you.
