Genzyme Begins Shipping Fabrazyme from Framingham Plant

Genzyme has started shipment of Fabrazyme produced at its newly approved plant in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Genzyme, a Sanofi company, announced Thursday that it has started shipment of Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) produced at its newly approved plant in Framingham, Massachusetts.

 

Patients in the U.S. are now able to return to full dosing in March. In addition, all new patients in the U.S. are eligible to begin Fabrazyme treatment, at full dosing levels.

 

"The ability to meet the needs of patients in the U.S. is an important first step in restoring unconstrained supply for all patients globally throughout the course of 2012,” said Genzyme's President and CEO David Meeker.

 

In Europe the process of moving the most severely affected patients to full dose of Fabrazyme will begin in March
