The lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are monogenic disorders associated with inflammation affecting multiple organs, and early death. Few treatments are available that can modify the disease course, and there is an urgent need to identify new steps in pathogenesis that can be targeted therapeutically. The complement system is novel and highly plausible as a primary driver of inflammation and cellular injury in the LSDs. This study assesses the complement activation state in patients with Fabry disease (FD), Gaucher disease (GD) and Niemann-Pick disease, type C (NPC), with comparison to healthy controls. This has the potential for immense clinical benefit through targeted complement inhibition across the full spectrum of lysosomal storage disorders, in which key pathophysiological processes including the inflammatory response to lysosomally 'stored' materials are shared.
Primary Objective: To assess reduction of plasma lyso-GL3 level after switch to agalsidase beta from agalsidase alfa Secondary Objectives: - To assess reduction of kidney podocyte GL3 content after switch to agalsidase beta from agalsidase alfa - To assess reduction of GL3 content in endothelial skin cells after switch to agalsidase beta from agalsidase alfa - To assess change in renal function after switch to agalsidase beta from agalsidase alfa - To assess disease severity and clinical changes after switch to agalsidase beta from agalsidase alfa - To assess improvement in symptoms of Fabry disease after switch to agalsidase beta from agalsidase alfa
Fabry Disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) caused by mutations in the GLA gene which translates into decreased activity or lack of function of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (α-GAL A) and accumulation of the enzymes substrate, i.e., Gb3, throughout the body. Cardiovascular and renal complications are among the leading causes of death in FD patients. RVX000222 is a BET inhibitor which modulates the expression of a variety of genes and, due to its effects on pathways downstream of substrate accumulation and reduction of major cardiac events, holds promise as a potential add-on therapy to accompany enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in FD patients.
Cerebrovascular events, such as stroke, are a devastating complication of Fabry disease that results in part from storage of complex lipids in both large and small vessels. Understanding how the genotype influences the phenotype or clinical presentation can help us understand which patients are at risk for the complications of Fabry disease. This study aims to follow the natural history of this disease will help us understand and predict long-term outcomes for patients.
The study will be a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study of the safety and efficacy of PRX-102 in ERT naïve male patients randomized 1:1. Patient age will be 14 to 45 years. Patients must have diarrhea defined as ≥ 3 stools a day with an average consistency of ≥ 5.5 on the Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS) by patient electronic diary and moderate to severe gastrointestinal symptoms as defined by the Irritable Bowel Symptom Severity Score (IBSSS) Part 1 average > 175 derived from at least two IBSSS assessments during screening period. Patients will receive intravenous infusions of PRX-102 1 mg/kg or placebo every two weeks for 6 months.
Development of a new mass spectrography-based biomarker for the early and sensitive diagnosis of Fabry disease from the blood
The purpose of this study is to determine efficacy of gabapentin vs. placebo at controlling peripheral neuropathic pain in patients with Fabry disease, and reducing their use of opioid analgesics. The investigators are conducting a randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, single center, cross-over study. The primary endpoint is percent reduction in patients' use of hydrocodone-acetaminophen.
Primary objective and endpoint is the analysis of the long-term course of lyso-Gb3 and its clinical correlation to the progression of the cardiomyopathy in N215S-Fabry patients.
People with Fabry disease have an alteration in their genetic material (DNA) which causes a deficiency of the a-galactosidase A enzyme. Fabrazyme is a drug that helps to breakdown and remove certain types of fatty substances called "glycolipids." These glycolipids are normally present within the body in most cells. In Fabry disease, glycolipids build up in various tissues such as the liver, kidney, skin, and blood vessels because a-galactosidase A is not present, or is present in small quantities. The build up of glycolipid (globotriaosylceramide or GL-3) levels in these tissues in particular is thought to cause the clinical symptoms that are common to Fabry disease. This study is designed to verify that no loss of Fabrazyme occurs during simultaneous Fabrazyme infusion and hemodialysis in patients currently receiving Fabrazyme at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg every 2 weeks.
