Pompe Disease: Understanding

Pompe Disease: Overview

Pompe disease also known as Glycogen Storage Disease Type II belongs to the 'lysosomal storage disorders' (LSDs) group of diseases. Within the cells, lysosomes are tiny compartments where all sorts of substances are recycled. By the action of digestive enzymes, the compounds are degraded. There are currently more than 50 different LSDs that are considered to be caused by the deficiency of one of these enzymes. One such enzyme is acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) and is responsible for glycogen's lysosomal degradation. Glycogen accumulates inside the lysosomes due to a lack or dysfunction of GAA, which eventually leads to cellular failure, cellular damage, tissue damage, and ultimately organ dysfunction.

The dysfunction of the organ in Pompe disease is primarily expressed by muscle weakness and muscle wasting. Common symptoms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) include irregular thickening of the heart walls, particularly in the left ventricle and the septum separating the left and right chambers, which can lead to reduced cardiac activity. Affected individuals may experience rapidly progressive muscle weakness, often referred to as ""floppy babies"" in infants, along with reduced muscle tone (hypotonia) and respiratory deficiencies. Additionally, HCM is characterized by symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and episodes of fainting, especially during physical exertion. These manifestations can be serious, as they may indicate underlying heart disease associated with HCM, making early diagnosis and management crucial for affected individuals.

Although a precise mechanism has not been described, lysosomal glycogen accumulation leads to impairment of striated muscular cells. Initially, affected areas involve active voluntary muscles (extremities), progressing to cardiac muscle, and lastly, the diaphragm. The diagnosis of Pompe disease is ultimately confirmed with enzyme assays and genetic testing. Clinical history, exam, muscle enzymes, and electromyography (EMG) are the core of the initial workup and are used to help determine which patient should undergo further testing specific to Pompe disease, particularly in the setting of LOPD.

The treatment of Pompe disease is disease-specific, symptomatic and supportive. Alglucosidase alfa (Myozyme/Lumizyme, Sanofi Genzyme) enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) using recombinant human GAA (rhGAA), is currently the only approved treatment for Pompe disease. Although, the ERT appears to slow disease progression but has not been shown to halt or reverse disease for the majority of patients, and thus, significant unmet medical needs remain. Supportive Therapies include Physical therapy that are helpful to strengthen respiratory muscles. Some patients may need respiratory assistance through mechanical ventilation (i.e. Bipap or volume ventilators) during the night and/or periods of the day or during respiratory tract infections. Mechanical ventilation support can be through noninvasive or invasive techniques. Physiotherapy is recommended to improve strength and physical ability. Occupational therapy, including the use of canes or walkers, may be necessary.

Pompe Disease Emerging Drugs

GC301: GeneCradle Therapeutics

GC301 injection is an AAV gene therapy drug designed and developed by Genecradle Therapeutics for the treatment of Pompe disease. It adopts a one-time intravenous injection strategy for widespread systemic expression, aiming to directly compensate for the GAA gene deficiency in tissues such as the liver, heart, skeletal muscles, and central nervous system. In previous clinical trials conducted (IIT+IND), IOPD subjects successfully discontinued enzyme replacement therapy after gene therapy, with varying degrees of improvement in motor ability. Currently, the drug is in Phase I/II stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of Pompe disease.

MZE001: Maze Therapeutics

MZE001 is an oral glycogen synthase (GYS1) inhibitor that aims to address Pompe disease by limiting disease-causing glycogen buildup. GYS1 is an enzyme responsible for glycogen production. MZE001 is currently being evaluated as a potential oral treatment for patients with Pompe disease, as well as other glycogen storage disorders. Currently, the drug is in Phase I stage of its clinical trial for the treatment of pompe disease.
