Summary
This Phase 3 study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 1 milligram/kilogram (mg/kg) intravenous (IV) infusions of SBC-102 (sebelipase alfa) administered every other week (qow) in participants with late onset lysosomal acid lipase deficiency (LAL-D) (cholesteryl ester storage disease [CESD]). Late-onset LAL-D is an underappreciated cause of cirrhosis, liver failure and dyslipidemia. There is currently no standard treatment for LAL-D other than supportive care. Enzyme replacement therapy may be a potential new treatment option for LAL-D participants.
