Enzyme replacement therapy for late-onset Pompe disease. (PubMed, Cochrane Database Syst Rev) - "One trial compared the effect of ERT to placebo in LOPD, showing that alglucosidase alfa probably improves 6MWT and respiratory function (both moderate-certainty evidence). Avalglucosidase alfa probably improves 6MWT compared with alglucosidase alfa (moderate-certainty evidence). Cipaglucosidase plus miglustat probably improves FVC compared to alglucosidase alfa plus placebo (moderate-certainty evidence). Other trials studied the adjunct effect of clenbuterol and albuterol along with alglucosidase alfa, with little to no evidence of benefit. No significant rise in adverse events was noted with all ERTs. The impact of ERT on some outcomes remains unclear, and longer RCTs are needed to generate relevant information due to the progressive nature of LOPD. Alternative resources, such as post-marketing registries, could capture some of this information."

VAL-1221: A Phase II Candidate for Lafora Disease (AES 2023) - P1/2 | "VAL-1221 is a promising therapeutic candidate for Lafora disease and other related PGDs. The development of joint safety and efficacy databases from ongoing treatments will be very informative as more pivotal studies are initiated. Future research detection of VAL-1221 in treated patient CSF and combined analysis of plasma and CSF metabolic biomarkers will seek to further establish on-target mechanism of action."
