What is Vpriv?

Vpriv is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by Takeda. Vpriv (velaglucerase alfa for injection) is a hydrolytic lysosomal glucocerebroside-specific enzyme indicated for long-term enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for pediatric and adult patients with type 1 Gaucher disease.

Gaucher disease is a rare inherited disorder, in which people do not have enough of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase, which normally breaks down a fat called glucocerebroside. Without the enzyme, glucocerebroside builds up in the body, typically in the liver, spleen, and bone. Symptoms include anemia (low red-blood-cell counts), thrombocytopenia (reduced platelet count) tiredness, easy bruising, an enlarged spleen and liver, and bone pain and breaks.

What doses of Vpriv are available?

Vpriv is available as a lyophilized powder for reconstitution by dilution with sterile water for injection. It is available in 200 Units and 400 Units single-use vials.

60 Units/kg is administered every other week as a 60-minute intravenous infusion. Patients being treated with imiglucerase for Gaucher disease can be switched to Vpriv. Physicians can make dosage adjustments based on the achievement and maintenance of each patient’s therapeutic goals.

Pretreatment with antihistamines and/or corticosteroids should be considered in patients who show symptoms of hypersensitivity associated with prior velaglucerase alfa product infusions.

Please see the full prescribing information and always speak with a healthcare professional about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.
