Filter by:A study to determine the long-term safety and tolerability of oral lucerastat in adult subjects with Fabry disease
The objective of CLI-06657AA1-03 (formerly PB-102-F51) is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 2 mg/kg pegunigalsidase alfa administered intravenously every four weeks in adult Fabry patients who have successfully completed PB-102-F50.
The objective of CLI-06657AA1-04 (formerly PB-102-F60) is to evaluate the long-term safety, tolerability, and efficacy parameters of 1 mg/kg pegunigalsidase alfa administered intravenously every other week in adult Fabry patients who have successfully completed studies PB-102-F03, PB-102-F20 or PB-102-F30.
Fabry disease (FD) is a genetic disorder that leads to progressive accumulation of fat or 'sphingolipid' within the tissues, including the heart muscle and conductive tissue. Improvements in the detection of FD, together with more organised clinical services for rare diseases, has led to a rapid growth in the disease prevalence. Earlier and more frequent diagnosis of asymptomatic individuals before development of the disease itself has focused attention on early detection of organ involvement and closer monitoring of disease progression. Moreover, the introduction of enzyme replacement therapy within the last two decades has changed the natural history of FD as follows: a) increased life expectancy; b) improved morbidity; c) modification of the main cause of morbidity and mortality from renal (kidney) to cardiovascular (heart) events, including heart failure, abnormal heart rhythms, stroke and sudden death. Although symptoms such as palpitations and blackouts are extremely common, information on the frequency of proven abnormal heart rhythms is limited. In addition, the rate and appropriateness of implantation of life-saving devices is very variable, including pacemakers to boost the heart when too slow and cardio-defibrillators that stop the heart when too fast. The main markers of risk in similar diseases such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cannot be used in FD. While patients are routinely followed up in clinic with heart tracings and echocardiography (ultrasound of the heart), a recent small study has emphasised that these tests under-estimate the burden of abnormal heart rhythms in patients with advanced FD. The use of continuous heart monitoring with an implantable loop recorder (ILR) has led to a significant change in treatment in 13 out of 15 of FD patients. The investigators believe that more frequent use of ILRs will identify a greater need for change in therapy in many more patients than currently treated, with the aim of reducing morbidity and mortality in this patient cohort. In addition this will provide valuable data to inform an estimate of future risk for these patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of Fabry Disease in young stroke patients in an Israeli stroke clinic.
The prevalence of Anderson - Fabry disease in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy is unclear. The investigators will examine urine - α - Galactosidase activity and globotriaosylceramide isoforms in these patients.
