| Description | Cerliponase alfa is an enzyme replacement treatment for a specific form of Batten disease. It was the first FDA-approved treatment to slow loss of walking ability (ambulation) in symptomatic pediatric patients 3 years of age and older with late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2), also known as tripeptidyl peptidase-1 (TPP1) deficiency. Intraventricular administration of the drug allows significant uptake into the brain. Cerliponase alfa was approved in April, 2017 (as Brineura). |
| Indication/Disease | Cerliponase alfa is a treatment for late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) disease to decelerate the progressive motor function decline in patients 3 years of age and older. CLN2 disease is a form of Batten disease, a rare inherited neurodegenerative disorder and is associated with seizures, ataxia, rapid loss of language and motor functions, blindness, and early death [L755]. It is caused by the lack the lysosomal enzyme tripeptidyl peptidase-1 (TPP1) and subsequent accumulation of lysosomal storage materials normally metabolized by this enzyme in the central nervous system. |
| Pharmacodynamics | Cerliponase alfa contains the active substance tripeptidyl peptidase-1 (rhTPP1), a recombinant human lysosomal exopeptidase which cleaves the N-terminal of tripeptides with a broad substrate specificity. Cerliponase alfa slows the progressive decline in motor function caused by abnormal motor signalling in the brain by restoring the normal levels and activity of TPP1. |
| Mechanism of Action | The mature form of enzyme contains 5 consensus N-glycosylation sites with high mannose, phosphorylated high mannose and complex glycosylation structures. It is taken up by LINCL fibroblasts and translocated to the lysosomes through the Cation Independent Mannose-6-Phosphate Receptor (CI-MPR, also known as M6P/IGF2 receptor). Cerliponase alfa is activated in the lysosome under low pH conditions and the activated proteolytic form of rhTPP1 cleaves tripeptides from the N-terminus of stored proteins. |
| Toxicity | No data from carcinogenicity, genotoxicity, and fertility studies. Unwanted effects of cerliponase alfa treatment include pyrexia, ECG abnormalities, decreased CSF protein, seizure and hypersensitivity. |
| Metabolism | Predicted to be metabolized through peptide hydrolysis. |
| Absorption | Refer to FDA Label |
| The estimated CSF volume of distribution of cerliponase alfa following intraventricular infusion of 300mg of Brineura (median Vss = 245 mL) exceeds the typical CSF volume (100 mL) [FDA label]. |
