BioMarin Announces Two Oral and 16 Poster Presentations at Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism 2016 Annual Meeting

Oral Presentations Include Updated Long-Term Data from Extension Study of Brineura™ (Cerliponase Alfa) in Children with CLN2 Disease, and Long-Term Safety and Efficacy Data of Pegvaliase in Adults with PKU


SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Sept. 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (NASDAQ:BMRN) announced today that two oral and 16 poster presentations related to the company’s products and product candidates will be made at the Society for the Study of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (SSIEM) 2016 Annual Meeting, which will be held on September 6-9 in Rome, Italy.  These 18 presentations at SSIEM cover a range of areas in rare genetic diseases, including Phenylketonuria (PKU), Mucopolysacchardosis (MPS) and CLN2 disease, a form of Batten disease.  The presentations focus on better understanding the burden of disease in PKU, intracerebroventricular (ICV) delivery and the multi- disciplinary management of CLN2 disease and the impact of treatment on adults with Morquio A syndrome, an MPS disease.

Oral Platforms at SSIEM

Updated long-term data from an extension study of Brineura™ (cerliponase alfa), a recombinant human tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (rhTPP1) to treat children with CLN2 disease, will be presented during an oral platform session. CLN2 disease is a rapidly progressing, fatal neurodegenerative disease with no approved treatments, where the majority of affected children lose their ability to walk and talk by approximately six years of age. Brineura is an enzyme replacement therapy designed to restore TPP1 enzyme activity and break down the storage materials that cause the disease. Brineura is currently under review by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act goal date of April 27, 2017. BioMarin also has submitted a Marketing Authorization Application to the European Medicines Agency for Brineura, and it is undergoing validation at the Agency.

In addition, updated four year results of the long-term safety and efficacy of pegvaliase to treat adults living with phenylketonuria (PKU) will also be presented during an oral session. PKU is a rare genetic condition in which the body cannot metabolize the essential amino acid phenylalanine. Pegvaliase is an enzyme substitution therapy that is designed to substitute phenylalanine ammonia lyase for phenylalanine hydroxylase, the enzyme deficient in people living with PKU. BioMarin intends to submit a marketing application by the first quarter of 2017.

Additionally, data from 16 abstracts spanning CLN2 disease, mucopolysaccharidosis, PKU, and Pompe disease will be presented.
