Anaphylaxis has occurred with vestronidase alfa administration, as early as the first dose, therefore appropriate medical support should be readily available when administered. Closely observe patients during and for 60 minutes after vestronidase alfa infusion. Immediately discontinue the infusion if the patient experiences anaphylaxis.
Note: Premedicate with nonsedating antihistamines with/without antipyretics 30 to 60 minutes prior to the start of the infusion. Administer under supervision of a health care provider with the ability to manage anaphylaxis.
Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (Sly syndrome): IV: 4 mg/kg every 2 weeks.
There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling (has not been studied); however, adjustment based on renal function is unlikely to be necessary as vestronidase alfa is not expected to be renally cleared.
There are no dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling (has not been studied); however, adjustment based on hepatic function is unlikely to be necessary as vestronidase alfa is degraded by proteolytic enzymes that are not restricted to hepatic tissue.
Refer to adult dosing.

Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII, Sly syndrome): Note: Premedicate with nonsedating antihistamines with or without antipyretics 30 to 60 minutes prior to the start of the infusion.

The following adverse drug reactions and incidences are derived from product labeling unless otherwise specified.
>10%:
Dermatologic: Skin rash
Gastrointestinal: Diarrhea
Hypersensitivity: Anaphylaxis
Immunologic: Antibody development (may be neutralizing; antibody development did not appear to affect reduction in urinary glycosaminoglycans)
1% to 10%:
Cardiovascular: Peripheral edema
Dermatologic: Pruritus
Local: Swelling at injection site
Frequency not defined: Miscellaneous: Febrile seizures
There are no contraindications listed in the manufacturer's labeling.
Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Extravasation: Infusion site extravasation has been reported; infusion site swelling has also occurred.
• Hypersensitivity/anaphylactoid reactions: Hypersensitivity, including anaphylaxis, has occurred with administration; manifestations included respiratory distress, cyanosis, decreased oxygen saturation, and hypotension. Consider the risks and benefits of re-administering vestronidase alfa following anaphylaxis; in clinical trials, patients experiencing anaphylaxis were able to tolerate subsequent infusions without recurrence of anaphylaxis.

IV: Infuse IV over ~4 hours; infuse the first 2.5% of total volume over the first hour (accounting for any dead space in IV line); after the first hour, increase infusion rate (as tolerated) to complete infusion over the next 3 hours. Administer using an infusion set with an in-line low protein-binding 0.2 micron filter. Do not flush the line to avoid a rapid bolus of infused enzyme; due to the low infusion rate, additional NS may be added through a separate line (piggyback or Y tube) to maintain sufficient IV flow to prevent clotting or line blockage. Do not infuse other products in same IV line. Discontinue the infusion immediately if severe reaction occurs, including anaphylaxis. Observe patient during and for at least 60 minutes following infusion.
May be an irritant; ensure proper needle or catheter placement prior to and during IV infusion. Avoid extravasation.

Mucopolysaccharidosis VII (Sly syndrome): Treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis VII (MPS VII, Sly syndrome).
Limitations of use: The effect of vestronidase alfa on the CNS manifestations of MPS VII has not been determined.
None known.
There are no known significant interactions.
Adverse events were not observed in animal reproduction studies.
It is not known if vestronidase alfa is present in breast milk. According to the manufacturer, the decision to breastfeed during therapy should consider the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother.
Monitor for infusion/hypersensitivity reactions and anaphylaxis during the infusion and for at least 60 minutes thereafter. Monitor infusion site for swelling or extravasation.
Vestronidase alfa is a recombinant human beta-glucuronidase (GUS), which provides exogenous GUS enzyme for uptake into cellular lysosomes. Mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) residues on the oligosaccharide chains allow binding of the enzyme to cell surface receptors, leading to cellular uptake of the enzyme, targeting to lysosomes and subsequent catabolism of accumulated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in affected tissues.
