Pompe disease: options by country
Sourced options by country plus visit-prep questions for Pompe disease. Each line links to its regulator, HTA, or guideline source. This page maps options; it does not recommend or rank them.
What this page does
Maps options by country
It maps sourced options by country alongside diagnosis wording, stage, test results, specialists, and trial-search terms.
What it does not do
Does not choose treatment
It does not rank treatments, recommend a choice, or decide clinical fit.
Where it comes from
Built on trusted sources
Every option links to a trusted regulator, HTA, or guideline source, and the list grows as new sources pass verification.
Information to gather before the next visit
- Is this infantile-onset or late-onset Pompe disease, and what GAA testing supports the diagnosis?
- Is the option first ERT, a switch in ERT, or Pombiliti/Opfolda after inadequate improvement on current ERT?
- What cardiac, respiratory, antibody, CRIM, pregnancy, or renal monitoring is needed?
- Is the treatment route EU authorization, NHS/NICE access, or local national reimbursement?

United States
- Alglucosidase alfa (Lumizyme); avalglucosidase alfa-ngpt (Nexviazyme); cipaglucosidase alfa-atga (Pombiliti) plus miglustat (Opfolda)[1]FDA-approvedGAA deficiency; GAA gene mutations in registry/trial criteria; Lumizyme broad Pompe disease ERT; Nexviazyme late-onset Pompe disease age 1+; Pombiliti/Opfolda adult late-onset Pompe disease after insufficient improvement on current ERT. · Lumizyme and Nexviazyme labels include hypersensitivity/infusion reaction and cardiorespiratory monitoring precautions. Pombiliti must be used with Opfolda, and Opfolda must be timed with Pombiliti; pregnancy and renal considerations are noted in labeling. Confidence/conflicts: High for U.S. FDA-label claims. No payer access or comparative benefit is inferred.

NICE is England-specific and reuse-restricted/link-only. France/Germany reimbursement was not verified in this cell. Confidence/conflicts: High for EMA/NICE statements; national reimbursement gaps remain.

Japan
- avalglucosidase alfa, genetically recombinant (Nexviazyme)[3]PMDA-approved (Japan)acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency context; treatment of Pompe disease; the fetched PMDA list does not limit the indication to infantile- or late-onset disease. · The PMDA deliberation report explains Pompe disease is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disorder due to GAA deficiency and notes prior Japanese alglucosidase approval. This entry does not establish reimbursement, switching criteria from Myozyme, CRIM/immune-tolerance practice, ventilatory/cardiology supportive care, or full current package insert details. Confidence/conflicts: High for Japanese avalglucosidase/Nexviazyme approval and Pompe indication; no conflict identified. Full current label and reimbursement remain gaps.
- cipaglucosidase alfa (Pombiliti) plus miglustat (Opfolda)[4]PMDA-approved (Japan)acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency context; late-onset phenotype; combination therapy for late-onset Pompe disease. · This entry captures PMDA approval/listing evidence, not full package-insert details. It does not establish reimbursement, whether prior ERT exposure is required or excluded, respiratory/motor monitoring expectations, pregnancy considerations, or specialist-center availability. Pombiliti and Opfolda are documented as combination therapy and should not be represented as standalone options from these sources. Confidence/conflicts: High for Japanese Pombiliti/Opfolda approval and late-onset Pompe indication; no conflict identified. Full labels and reimbursement remain gaps.

Thailand
- alglucosidase alfa (Myozyme)[8]Approvedconfirmed acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency; long-term enzyme replacement therapy for confirmed Pompe disease in adult and pediatric patients. · The label states treatment should be supervised by a physician experienced in Pompe disease or other inherited metabolic or neuromuscular diseases. It includes severe hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis and infusion-associated-reaction precautions, routine response evaluation across clinical manifestations, and does not establish Thai reimbursement or stock availability. Confidence/conflicts: High for Thai Myozyme label and authorization details; no conflict identified, but reimbursement and care-pathway details remain unresolved.
- avalglucosidase alfa (Nexviazyme)[9]Approvedconfirmed acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency; infantile-onset versus late-onset context relevant; long-term enzyme replacement therapy for Pompe disease; source includes dose-modification context for infantile-onset Pompe disease patients with insufficient cardiac, respiratory, and/or motor response while receiving the standard dose. · The label states treatment should be supervised by a physician experienced in Pompe disease or other inherited metabolic or neuromuscular diseases. It notes no established data for patients 6 months of age and younger, hypersensitivity/anaphylaxis and fluid-overload considerations, and does not establish Thai reimbursement or center availability. Confidence/conflicts: High for Thai Nexviazyme label and authorization details; no conflict identified, but reimbursement and switching/access pathways remain unresolved.
Canada
- avalglucosidase alfa (Nexviazyme)[10]Approvedacid alpha-glucosidase deficiency; long-term ERT for late-onset Pompe disease in Canada. · The product monograph excludes infantile-onset Pompe disease from the indication. CADTH review informs payer decisions but provincial implementation remains separate. Confidence/conflicts: High for Canadian label; medium-high for payer context because implementation varies by public plan.

This is official regulatory and access status only — not medical advice, not a recommendation, and not a statement about eligibility.

Beyond approved care
In clinical trials & emerging options
Options that are not — or not yet — an approved standard where you live: studies, clinical trials, off-label use, and early evidence that your own oncologist may not raise. Each is labeled by how strong the evidence is. A listing here is information to research and discuss with your team; it does not mean a treatment is proven, safe for you, or available today.
