PULMOZYME dornase alfa

阿法妥拉酶

Drug Class

Recombinant human deoxyribonuclease I (rhDNase)

Mechanism

Cleaves extracellular DNA in the purulent secretions of cystic fibrosis patients, reducing sputum viscoelasticity and improving airway clearance.

Approved Indication

In conjunction with standard therapies for the management of cystic fibrosis patients to improve pulmonary function.

What This Means For Patients

Pulmozyme (dornase alfa) is an inhaled enzyme approved by the FDA for patients with cystic fibrosis. It works by breaking down the thick DNA accumulation in mucus, making it thinner and easier to clear from the lungs. Eligible patients can access this therapy under special import pathways in the Boao Lecheng pilot zone.
