Medical Uses
Strensiq is a tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase and the only prescription medicine used to treat patients with perinatal/infantile- and juvenile-onset hypophosphatasia (HPP).
Recommended Dosage:
- Dosage for Perinatal/Infantile-Onset HPP: The recommended dosage of Strensiq injection for treating perinatal/infantile-onset HPP is 6 mg/kg/weekly given subcutaneously as either 2 mg/kg three (3) times per week, or 1 mg/kg six (6) times per week. Injection site reactions may be responsible for limiting the tolerability of the six (6) times per week dosage regimen.
- The dose of Strensiq may be scaled up for lack of efficacy up to 9 mg/kg per week given subcutaneously as 3 mg/kg three (3) times per week.
- Dosage for Juvenile-Onset HPP: The recommended dosage of Strensiq for treating juvenile-onset HPP is 6 mg/kg/weekly given subcutaneously as either 2 mg/kg three (3) times weekly, or 1 mg/kg six (6) times weekly. Injection site reactions may be responsible for limiting the tolerability of the six times per week dosage regimen.
- Caution: Avoid the use of Strensiq 80 mg/0.8 mL vial in those pediatric patients who weighing below 40 kg because the systemic exposure of asfotase alfa achieved with the Strensiq vial 80 mg/0.8 mL (greater concentration) is below that achieved with the other existing strength vials of Strensiq injection (reduced concentration). A reduced exposure may not be appropriate for this subgroup of patients.
Warning & Precautions
- Hypersensitivity reactions may occur in patients treated with Strensiq vials. In case of a severe hypersensitivity reaction, discontinue this treatment and initiate suitable medical treatment. In addition, patients must be precisely monitored for a reoccurrence of manifestations of a severe hypersensitivity reaction.
- Localized lipodystrophy, including lipohypertrophy and lipoatrophy, may occur at injection sites after some months in those treated with Asfotase alfa 18 mg/0.45 mL injection. Patients should follow appropriate injection techniques and rotate injection sites.
- Patients on therapy with HPP are at higher risk for having ectopic calcifications. Ophthalmology evaluations and renal ultrasounds are needed during treatment with Strensiq to monitor for manifestations of ophthalmic and renal ectopic calcifications and for alterations in vision or renal function.
- Strensiq injection is not recommended during pregnancy and in females who can have children and who are not considering appropriate contraception. Breastfeeding needs to be discontinued during therapy with Strensiq 18 mg/0.45 mL.
