Agalsidase alfa is a recombinant human α-galactosidase A similar to agalsidase beta. While patients generally do not experience a clinically significant difference in outcomes between the two drugs, some patients may experience greater benefit with agalsidase beta. Use of agalsidase beta has decreased in Europe, in favor of agalsidase alfa, after a contamination event in 2009.
Agalsidase alfa was granted EMA approval on 3 August 2001.
Agalsidase alfa is indicated in the treatment of Fabry disease.
