What is Kanuma?

Kanuma is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Alexion Pharmaceuticals Inc. Kanuma (sebelipase alfa) is a hydrolytic lysosomal cholesteryl ester and triacylglycerol-specific enzyme indicated for the treatment of patients with a diagnosis of Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency (LAL).

Kanuma works by reducing the buildup of fat that causes medical complications, including growth failure, digestive problems, liver damage, and heart complications. It also improves blood levels of fats, lipids, including reducing elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides.

What doses of Kanuma are available?

Kanuma is available in injection form, in the following doses: 20 mg/10 mL (2 mg/mL) solution in single-use vials.

For patients with rapidly progressive LAL deficiency presenting within the first 6 months of life, the recommended dose is 1 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion once weekly. For patients who do not achieve an optimal clinical response, increase the dose to 3 mg/kg once weekly.

For pediatric and adult patients with LAL deficiency, the recommended dosage is 1 mg/kg as an intravenous infusion once every other week. Infuse over at least 2 hours, but consider prolonging the infusion time for the 3 mg/kg dose or if a hypersensitivity reaction occurs.

For additional safety information, please see the full prescribing information. Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
