ALT-B4
ALT-B4 (berahyaluronidase alfa) is a proprietary recombinant human
hyaluronidase developed using Alteogen’s Hybrozyme™ platform technology.
ALT-B4 enables the conversion of biologics typically administered via
intravenous (IV) infusion into more convenient and rapid subcutaneous (SC)
formulations. By temporarily depolymerizing hyaluronan in the extracellular
matrix, ALT-B4 facilitates the rapid and efficient dispersion and absorption of
co-administered therapeutics.
