In a single-arm, open-label clinical trial, the effectiveness of Ryplazim in pediatric and adult patients with plasminogen deficiency type 1 was assessed. A total of 15 patients were included in the study, with baseline plasminogen activity levels ranging from 5% to 45 percent of normal. All patients were given Ryplazim at a dose of 6.6 mg/kg every two to four days for 48 weeks in order to achieve at least a 10% rise in individual trough plasminogen activity over baseline and to treat the disease’s clinical symptoms. In the clinical trial, Ryplazim was well received.
Efficacy was determined based on the overall rate of clinical success at 48 weeks, which was classified as 50% of patients with visible or other measurable non-visual lesions improving by 50% or more from baseline in lesion number/size or functioning effect. At least 50% recovery in the number or size of lesions was seen in all patients having any lesion at baseline.
