Filter by:The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with 4000 litre (L) alglucosidase alfa (Lumizyme®) in Pompe participants.
The adult onset form can occur between the second and sixth decades of life as a form of proximal myopathy, predominantly in the pelvic girdle area. Sometimes the first symptoms are shortness of breath and diaphragm weakness which herald progressive proximal muscle weakness. The heart and liver are not affected. Serum CK (Creatine Kinase) activity is 2 to 10 times higher than normal. EMG (electromyogram) testing usually reveals a myopathic pattern and muscle biopsy may show vacuoles containing an accumulation of glycogen that is not broken down. Until fairly recently, an assay of acid maltase activity using cultured fibroblasts after biopsy of skin or muscle tissue was required for diagnosis, as leukocytes contain a renal isoenzyme that is not absent in these patients and which can mask the deficit and result in false negatives. In recent years this problem has ben solved by the introduction of acarbose, an inhibitor of renal α-glucosidase; it is also used in the dried blood spot method, which measures acid maltase activity using maltose and acarbose as inhibitors and 4-methylumbelliferyl-D-glucopyranoside as substrate.
Development of a new MS-based biomarker for the early and sensitive diagnosis of Pompe disease from blood (plasma)
Hypothesis: the effectiveness of treatment of Pompe Disease with rhGAA enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is limited at least in part because patients develop antibodies against the provided rhGAA enzyme. Treatment with immunomodulatory drugs may dampen or eliminate the anti-rhGAA immune response in patients receiving ERT, thereby allowing for greater ERT efficacy. Studying the immune response to rhGAA may provide valuable insight into the role of the immune system in the effectiveness of ERT for Pompe Disease.
This is a Phase 2 open-label, multiple dose study of BMN 701 administered by IV infusion every 2 weeks (qow) to patients with late-onset Pompe disease.
- The primary objective of this study was to characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of alglucosidase alfa manufactured at the 4000 L scale in participants who had a confirmed diagnosis of Pompe disease. - A secondary objective of this study was to evaluate and explore the relationship between anti-recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase antibody titers and the PK of alglucosidase alfa.
The aim of the study is: to develop a comprehensive biochemical assay for detection of Pompe disease (glycogen storage disease type II), to be implemented in the Newborn screening program among the Israeli population.
This study evaluates drug-drug interactions between AT2220 (duvoglustat) and recombinant human alpha-glucosidase (rhGAA, also known as alglucosidase alfa) in participants with Pompe Disease.
This is an open-label, multicenter study of participants with late-onset Pompe disease naive to treatment with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). The primary objective of this study is to evaluate glycogen clearance in muscle tissue samples collected pre and post alglucosidase alfa treatment in participants with Late-Onset Pompe disease. The secondary objectives are to characterize the disease burden in participants with late-onset Pompe disease and explore imaging, histologic, and functional assessments in these participants and to explore potential plasma or urine biomarkers relative to late-onset Pompe disease and participant's response to treatment with alglucosidase alfa (Myozyme®/Lumizyme®/GZ419829).
A Phase 1/2, open-label, multicenter, multiple dose escalation study of BMN 701 administered by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks over a 24-week treatment period to patients with late-onset Pompe disease.
