Abstract

Late-onset Pompe disease is a progressive, debilitating, and often fatal neuromuscular disorder resulting from the deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme, acid α-glucosidase. This extension study was conducted to determine the durability of the efficacy and safety of alglucosidase alfa observed over a period of 78 weeks in the Late-Onset Treatment Study (LOTS).
