other parameters in model implementation

Imiglucerase is a recombinant enzyme replacement therapy used for the treatment of Gaucher disease type 1, a rare genetic lysosomal storage disorder. It is a modified form of the human enzyme β-glucocerebrosidase, and it helps reduce the accumulation of glucocerebroside in macrophages. Imiglucerase is approved and widely used as a standard care for Gaucher disease type 1.

Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetic parameters reported for adult patients with type 1 Gaucher disease following intravenous infusion. Data represent average PK values from published studies.
