Asfotase Alfa
BiologicalThe initial IV dose to be administered to patients was set at one-tenth the no adverse effect level (NOAEL) as determined by one month toxicology studies in animals in which Asfotase Alfa was administered as a single weekly IV dose. The SC doses to be administered are lower than the IV doses and are thought to be near or at the anticipated daily efficacious dose. Dosing will be as follows:
Cohort 1: In Week 1, patients will receive an IV infusion of Asfotase Alfa at a dose of 3 mg/kg. In Weeks 2, 3 and 4, patients will receive weekly SC injections of Asfotase Alfa at a dose of 1 mg/kg SC.
