Treatment Therapies


MPS I
Aldurazyme™, administered once-weekly, has been approved in the US and in 15 countries of the European Union for long-term enzyme replacement therapy in patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MPS I, to treat the non-neurological manifestations of the disease. Aldurazyme™ was developed by BioMarin and Genzyme under a joint venture agreement that assigns commercial manufacturing responsibilities to BioMarin, and worldwide sales and marketing responsibilities to Genzyme.
