Case Report: Intraventricular Cerliponase Alfa Treatment in a Patient with Advanced Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Type 2.

Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal disease caused by decreased activity of the enzyme tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (TPP1) due to pathogenic variants in the TPP1 gene. Cerliponase alfa, a recombinant proenzyme form of TPP1, has shown efficacy in preventing motor and language function decline in early-stage CLN2. However, the safety and effects of this therapy in advanced-stage CLN2 are unclear. We herein report a case of intraventricular cerliponase alfa treatment for over a year in a patient with advanced-stage CLN2. The results suggest the safety and potential efficacy of treatment at an advanced stage of CLN2.
