FAQ

What did Protalix BioTherapeutics (PLX) announce about Elfabrio?

Protalix BioTherapeutics announced a positive CHMP opinion recommending approval of a new Elfabrio dosing regimen. The opinion supports a 2 mg/kg every-four-weeks schedule for Fabry disease adults who are stable on enzyme replacement therapy, reflecting regulatory progress in Europe.

What new Elfabrio dosing regimen is CHMP recommending for Protalix (PLX)?

The CHMP recommends a 2 mg/kg every-4-weeks Elfabrio regimen for Fabry disease adult patients who are stable with an existing enzyme replacement therapy. This would provide an alternative dosing schedule to currently treated patients if formally approved by European authorities.

Which patients are targeted by the new Elfabrio regimen from Protalix (PLX)?

The regimen targets adult Fabry disease patients stable on ERT. Specifically, it is intended for adults already receiving enzyme replacement therapy, offering a 2 mg/kg every-four-weeks dosing option if the recommendation from CHMP is ultimately adopted by European regulators.

Chiesi Global Rare Diseases is Protalix’s partner for Elfabrio. Protalix issued the announcement together with Chiesi, its development and commercialization partner, underscoring their joint effort to advance and commercialize Elfabrio for Fabry disease patients in relevant markets.

Is the Elfabrio dosing change for Protalix (PLX) already approved in Europe?

No, CHMP has issued a positive opinion recommending approval. This opinion is an important regulatory step within the European Medicines Agency process, but it precedes any final authorization decision by European authorities on the 2 mg/kg every-four-weeks Elfabrio regimen.
