Here’s what I can share right now: I don’t currently have live web/search access for truly “latest” (past days/weeks) updates, but I can summarize the most recent relevant developments and where news is likely to be posted, based on the information available to me.
Recent major updates in Pompe (Glycogen storage disease type II)
Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type II, GSD II) is caused by deficiency of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) and is treated with enzyme replacement therapies (ERT) among other approaches.[5]
Newer/expanded ERT approvals (regulatory milestones)
- Avalglucosidase alfa (Nexviazyme): EMA recommended authorization in July 2021; US approval August 2021; EU availability June 2022.[4]
- Cipaglucosidase alfa: EMA recommended authorization in December 2022; approval June 2023 (described as available to all age groups in the EU without weight restrictions).[4]
These regulatory timelines are often the foundation for “news” coverage afterward (access programs, label updates, real-world studies, and payer/provider guidance).
Research directions that commonly generate new reports
Recent literature continues to focus on whether and how ERT helps across disease forms (especially late-onset) and on measuring functional outcomes over time (e.g., muscle function and respiratory status).[2][5]
Where to check for the very latest news (good sources)
- Association for Glycogen Storage Disease (AGSD) news/articles pages (community-facing updates; often includes recent research/therapy access items).[10]
If you tell me whether you mean infantile-onset vs late-onset Pompe, and whether you want (a) clinical trials, (b) FDA/EMA updates, or (c) patient/community news, I can tailor the next update I provide (and I’ll focus on the most relevant category).
