About Loargys®
Loargys (pegzilarginase) is a novel recombinant human enzyme and has been shown to rapidly and sustainably lower levels of the amino acid arginine and its toxic metabolites in plasma accompanied by improvements in clinical outcomes. It is the first and only disease-modifying treatment.
About ARG1-D
ARG1-D is one of the eight urea cycle disorder (UCD) subtypes. It shares overlapping features with other UCDs and the most prominent is the impairment in excreting nitrogen. However, in ARG1-D, hyperammonemia is generally less severe and instead these patients show spasticity, which other subtypes do not. The principal defect in ARG1-D leads to accumulation of plasma arginine and its toxic metabolites, which occurs in almost all patients with this disorder. Patients are often diagnosed in late infancy or early childhood and the symptoms include spasticity, seizures, developmental delay, intellectual disability, and early mortality.
