Filter by:Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease Type II) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic muscle disease caused by the deficiency of acid α glucosidase (GAA), an enzyme that degrades lysosomal glycogen. As opposed to the exclusively cytoplasmic accumulation of glycogen that occurs in other glycogen storage disorders, Pompe disease is characterized by organelle bound (lysosomal) and extra-lysosomal accumulation of glycogen in many body tissues, ultimately leading to multisystemic pathology. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term growth and development of participants with infantile-onset Pompe disease with alglucosidase alfa before 1 year of age. Participants were to be followed for a 10-year period.
Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease Type II) is caused by a deficiency of a critical enzyme in the body called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Normally, GAA is used by the body's cells to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar) within specialized structures called lysosomes. In patients with Pompe disease, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. The overall objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of rhGAA in patients with advanced Late-onset Pompe disease.

In patients with Pompe disease, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. The overall objective is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK) and efficacy of Myozyme treatment.

Glycogen Storage Disease Type II ("GSD-II"; also known as Pompe disease) is caused by a deficiency of a critical enzyme in the body called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Normally, GAA is used by the body's cells to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar) within specialized structures called lysosomes. In patients with GSD-II, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase (rhGAA) as a potential enzyme replacement therapy for GSD-II. Patients diagnosed with infantile-onset GSD-II who are greater than 6 months old, but less than or equal to 36 months old will be studied.

Normally, GAA is used by the body's cells to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar) within specialized structures called lysosomes. In patients with GSD-II, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase (rhGAA) as a potential enzyme replacement therapy for a pair of siblings with GSD-II. To be eligible for this study, a patient must have a confirmed diagnosis of GSD-II and have a sister or brother who also has a confirmed diagnosis of GSD-II.
Pompe disease is caused by a deficiency of a critical enzyme in the body called acid alpha glucosidase (GAA). Normally, GAA is used by the body's cells to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar) within specialized structures called lysosomes. In infants with severe cases of Pompe disease (called Classical Infantile Pompe disease), an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart, skeletal muscle, and liver, which prevents their normal function. This study being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase (rhGAA) as a potential enzyme replacement therapy for Pompe disease. Patients diagnosed with Classical Infantile Pompe disease who have a small, but inactive, amount of natural GAA enzyme present in their bodies (called Cross-Reacting Immunologic Material-Positive or "CRIM (+)" patients), will be studied.
