A 53-week, open-label phase IIIb study of velaglucerase alfa in Chinese patients with type 1 Gaucher disease: Safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics. (PubMed, Mol Genet Metab Rep) - P3 | "Nineteen of 20 (95.0%) patients reported improved QoL. Velaglucerase alfa was well-tolerated in Chinese patients with GD1, with no new safety signals, and resulted in improved hemoglobin and platelet levels, as well as liver and spleen volumes."

Establishment of an N-Glycan Profiling Method for Three ERT Enzymes Used in Gaucher Disease Therapy. (PubMed, Molecules) - "Glycan profiling revealed clear product-dependent differences: imiglucerase was enriched in core-fucosylated Man3 structures, velaglucerase alfa was dominated by Man9 and contained more phosphorylated and sialylated glycans, whereas velaglucerase beta showed a highly homogeneous Man5 profile. These findings demonstrate how distinct manufacturing strategies shape glycosylation patterns and provide a basis for biosimilar development and comparability assessment."

Adverse events signals of enzyme replacement drugs of Gaucher disease: insights from FAERS database analysis. (PubMed, Front Med (Lausanne)) - "These included 37 significantly associated PTs for imiglucerase, 34 for velaglucerase alfa, and 25 for taliglucerase alfa...The observed female predominance in AE reports merits further investigation. These findings are hypothesis-generating; future studies are needed to determine causality."

Improvement of Bone Mineral Density in Patients with Type 1 Gaucher Disease Treated with Velaglucerase Alfa: Results from Clinical Studies. (PubMed, J Clin Med) - "All patients experienced ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event, mostly of mild/moderate severity. The observed numerical improvements in BMD and significant improvements in BMB in SHP-GCB-402 along with pooled BMD data suggest that velaglucerase alfa may confer skeletal benefits while maintaining a consistent safety profile."

Quantitative and Comparative Assessment of Recombinant Human β-Glucocerebrosidase Uptake Bioactivity Using a Stable hMMR-Expressing CHO Cell Model. (PubMed, Molecules) - "Applying this assay to three commercial products yielded results contrary to prior literature: imiglucerase demonstrated superior uptake activity to velaglucerase alfa. The proposed method represents a significant improvement over existing assays, providing a more accurate and reproducible means to evaluate cellular uptake bioactivity, which is crucial for the quality control of rhGCase therapeutics."

Bone involvement in Gaucher disease: Data from a North African registry. (PubMed, Reumatol Clin (Engl Ed)) - "We presented descriptive data on BI derived from the Tunisian national Gaucher disease registry. This manifestation was common in our cohort. The limited size and heterogeneity of the treated subgroups precluded robust statistical comparisons. A major challenge in our setting is the delayed initiation of specific therapies, primarily due to late diagnosis and limited access to treatment."

A retrospective and prospective multicenter observational study of bone MRI changes in patients with type 1 Gaucher disease treated with velaglucerase alfa: the EIROS study. (SSIEM 2023) - P=N/A | "This study provided real-world evidence showing the long-term effectiveness of VELA for the treatment of GD, including for bone manifestations. The data suggest that if the assessment of MRI and BMB score by a radiologist with experience of GD bone manifestations is not possible, a simplified qualitative assessment provides sufficient evidence in daily clinical practice for the monitoring of bone disease progression and treatment response."

The French Gaucher disease registry: clinical features, complications, and treatment trends of 688 patients (SSIEM 2023) - "Among the currently treated patients (n=311), 57% received Imiglucerase, 18% Velaglucerase, and 25% Eliglustat. Parkinson`s disease developed in 10 (5%) patients at a median of 54 [46-62] years. Conclusion The registry enabled us to describe the epidemiology of GD in France, as well as the treatment evolution and the prevalence of GD complications and associated diseases."

EVALUATION OF ELIGLUSTAT THERAPY IN PATIENTS WITH GAUCHER DISEASE TYPE 1: A SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE (EHA 2025) - "More specifically, 3/12 had not received previous treatment (treatment-naïve, TN) while 9/12 had received enzyme treatment (treatment switch, TS); seven (7/9) had received imiglucerase and 2/9 velaglucerase. Our experience with the use of oral eliglustat in patients with GD1, despite the small number of patients, confirms that eliglustat treatment is an effective treatment for the disease."

Bone involvement in Gaucher disease: Data from the tunisian registry (EULAR 2025) - "Thirty-one patients received substitutive enzymatic treatment with either velaglucerase alfa (n=22; 59%) or imiglucerase (n=9; 24%) as part of a clinical trial or compassionate use... Bone involvement was frequent in our cohort with poor response to treatment. This can be explained by the late start substitutive treatment in our patients due to diagnosis and access to therapies delay. In fact, most studies suggest that the greatest effect is seen in younger subjects during the period when peak bone densitometry is accrued."
