Pompe Disease Overview
Pompe disease is a severe and fatal neuromuscular disease and one of the most prevalent lysosomal disorders. Despite the majority of diagnosed Pompe patients in the addressable geographies in the world being treated with currently approved ERT alglucosidase alfa, there remains significant unmet medical need
AT-GAA: ATB200 (cipaglucosidase alfa) and AT2221 (miglustat)
ATB200 is a novel rhGAA being developed as a next-generation enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for the treatment of Pompe disease, used in conjunction with AT2221, an iminosugar that stabilizes and enhances the PK of ATB200
PROPEL (ATB200-03): Study Design
Phase 3 double-blind randomized study to assess the efficacy and safety of AT-GAA in adult subjects with late onset Pompe disease compared with alglucosidase alfa/placebo

Safety Summary
Safety profile was similar for AT-GAA and alglucosidase alfa
AT-GAA n=85 | Alglucosidase Alfa n=38 | |
TEAEs | 81 (95.3%) | 37 (97.4%) |
TEAEs Potentially Related to Treatment | 26 (30.6%) | 14 (36.8%) |
Serious TEAEs | 8 (9.4%) | 1 (2.6%) |
Serious TEAEs Potentially Related to Treatment | 1 (1.2%) | 0 |
TEAEs Leading to Study Withdrawal | 2 (2.4%) | 1 (2.6%) |
TEAEs Leading to Death | 0 | 0 |
IARs | 21 (24.7%) | 10 (26.3%) |
• TEAEs leading to withdrawal in the AT-GAA arm were two IARs, one of which was a serious AE
• TEAEs leading to withdrawal in the alglucosidase arm was due to stroke (unrelated)
• Overall safety profile of AT-GAA is similar to alglucosidase alfa
Conclusions
Topline data demonstrate clinically meaningful improvements with AT-GAA on both motor and respiratory function in the overall population studied
In the overall study population, AT-GAA outperformed the currently approved ERT (+21 meters compared to +7 meters) which did not reach statistical significance for superiority on 6MWD
In the overall study population, AT-GAA showed a nominally statistically significant and clinically meaningful difference for superiority on the first key secondary endpoint of percent-predicted forced vital capacity (FVC)
ERT experienced patients switching to AT-GAA from alglucosidase alfa walked farther and showed stabilization of FVC compared to patients remaining on alglucosidase alfa who showed no improvement in their walking and declined in FVC
Improvements in the two important biomarkers of Pompe Disease (Hex-4 and CK) for the overall study population significantly favored AT-GAA compared to the currently approved ERT
All key secondary and biomarker endpoints favored AT-GAA compared to alglucosidase alfa in the overall and ERT experienced population
Overall safety profile of AT-GAA is similar to alglucosidase alfa
