Why Sanofi Genzyme Isn't Threatened By Amicus
It’s been less than a year since Genzyme started offering the first-ever pill to treat the very rare disease known as Gaucher. Now it’s one of two big drug companies in the world aiming to do the same thing with a related rare disease, called Fabry.
The Cambridge company now offers Cerdelga, its oral drug for Gaucher launched last August, and the intravenously-administered enzyme replacement therapy called Cerezym, which was Genzyme’s second approved drug when it launched 25 years ago. Today both drugs are comparably priced, allowing patients to choose between a daily pill or infusions every two weeks.
