  • Renal Function and Gb3 Reduction in Classic Fabry Disease (FD): Treatment with pegunigalsidase alfa for one year resulted in an 84% reduction in renal peritubular capillary globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) inclusions in patients with the classic FD phenotype. The mean estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) remained stable at 111 mL/min/1.73 m² from baseline throughout the treatment period.

  • Three patients developed treatment-induced immunoglobulin G (IgG) antidrug antibodies (ADAs), all of whom became ADA-negative after one year of treatment. 8. duced an 84% reduction in renal peritubular capillary Gb3 inclusions in patients with the classic Fabry disease (FD) phenotype, with 11 males and 1 of 7 females presenting this phenotype; immunogenicity was noted in three patients who developed IgG antidrug antibodies, but all became ADA-negative after one year of treatment.
