4.2 Posology and method of administration
Method of administration
For intravenous infusion use only.
To be administered as a 60-minute intravenous infusion.
Must be administered through a 0.2 or 0.22 µm filter.
4.4 Special warnings and precautions
Infusion-related reactions
An infusion-related reaction is defined as any adverse drug reaction occurring within 24 hours after the initiation of velaglucerase alfa infusion. Infusion‑related reactions (IRR) were the most commonly observed adverse reactions in patients treated in clinical studies. An IRR often appears as a hypersensitivity reaction. The most frequently reported symptoms of hypersensitivity include nausea, rash, dyspnoea, back pain, chest discomfort (including chest tightness), urticaria, arthralgia, and headache. Symptoms consistent with anaphylaxis have been reported in patients in clinical studies and in post-marketing experience. Apart from symptoms associated with hypersensitivity reactions IRRs might show as fatigue, dizziness, pyrexia, blood pressure increase, pruritus, or vision blurred, or vomiting. In treatment-naïve patients, the majority of infusion-related reactions occurred during the first 6 months of treatment.
Immunogenicity
Antibodies may play a role in treatment-related reactions found with the use of velaglucerase alfa. To further evaluate the relationship, in cases of severe infusion‑related reactions and in cases of lack or loss of effect, patients should be tested for the presence of antibodies and the results reported to the company.
In the clinical studies for Marketing Authorisation registration enabling studies one of 94 (1%) patients developed IgG-class antibodies to velaglucerase alfa. In this one event, the antibodies were determined to be neutralising in an in vitro assay.
No patients developed IgE antibodies to velaglucerase alfa.
No infusion‑related reactions were reported.
Post-marketing phase
During a post marketing extension study, one patient developed IgG antibodies to VPRIV. In addition, a few events of positive neutralising antibodies and lack of effect were reported post marketing.
for this patient. No patients developed IgE antibodies to velaglucerase alfa.

Section 4.2
“Elderly ( 65 years old)
Four of the 94 patients (5%) who received velaglucerase alfa during clinical studies were age 65 years or older. The limited data do not indicate a need for a dose adjustment in this age group.”
Changed to
“Elderly (≥65 years old)
Elderly patients may be treated within the same dose range (15 to 60 U/kg) as other adult patients. See section 5.1.”
Section 4.8
Sentence added
“Elderly population (≥65yrs)
The safety profile of VPRIV in clinical studies involving patients aged 65 years and above was similar to that observed in other adult patients.”
Section 5.1
Paragraph added
“Study 058 was an open-label clinical safety study in 211 patients including 205 patients previously treated with imiglucerase, 6 treatment-naïve patients and 57 patients aged 65 years or older (56/57 had switched from imiglucerase to VPRIV). Patients transferring from imiglucerase were administered VPRIV infusions every other week at the same number of units as imiglucerase within the range of 15 to 60 U/kg. Patients transferring from a dose of <15 U/kg imiglucerase were administered 15 U/kg of VPRIV.
Patients previously treated with imiglucerase received a median of 8 VPRIV infusions with median duration of treatment of 15.1 weeks. The safety profile in these patients was similar to that observed in other clinical trials. Only 1 out of 163 patients assessed developed anti-velaglucerase alfa antibodies during the study.
The mean haemoglobin concentration and platelet count of patients previously treated with imiglucerase were maintained throughout the study and remained within the reference intervals.”
