LID - 10.3390/jcm11216265 [doi] LID - 6265 AB - Three types of enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs) and two substrate reduction therapies (SRTs) are approved for symptomatic patients with type 1 Gaucher disease (GD1). Eliglustat is the second SRT approved, yet the first to be approved as first-line therapy for any adult patients with compatible CYP2D6 metabolizer genotype. Herein we report safety and efficacy data of the first 29 patients switched from ERT to eliglustat from the Gaucher Unit at Shaare Zedek Medical Center (SZMC) between 07/2017 and 06/2022; the median (range) time on ERT was 13 (0.66-30) years, and the median (range) time on eliglustat was 7 (1-52) months. Most patients switched due to oral preference or sub-optimal response to low-dose ERT. Twelve patients stopped eliglustat after a median (range) of 4 (1-18) months; 11 due to adverse events (AEs) and one due to personal request. There were no drug-related serious AEs and no drug-related cardiac events. Most AEs were mild and transient, mainly dyspepsia. Efficacy achievements were reflected by maintaining stability. We concluded that switching from ERT to eliglustat is safe if choosing the appropriate patients. Reassuring patients to tolerate early AEs may reduce discontinuation. Following the response and compliance to therapy is important to ensure long-term efficacy.
