Filter by:The objective of the study is to document long term data on treatment with Migalastat under "real world" conditions. The selection of patients is based on the SmPC/Fachinformation. The study duration/patient will be 2 years.
Anderson-Fabry disease is a genetic lysosomal storage disease, linked to chromosome X (gene GLA), responsible of enzyme synthesis deficit in α-galactosidase A with intracellular sphingolipids accumulation and multiorganic achievement. If renal complication is principally responsible of the pejorative evolution of the disease, it may also exist a cardiac achievement, symptomatic or not (heart failure symptoms including dyspnea, conduction abnormalities, supra-ventricular and ventricular arrhythmias), with or without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Administration of agalsidase-α or ß, a genetic engineering synthetic equivalent of the deficient enzyme, should significantly slow disease evolution indeed reduce LVH. Some patients with Fabry disease without LVH should present, compared to healthy subjects, indirect early markers of intramyocyte lipid overload: - in echocardiography, longitudinal myocardial deformation (strain) should be altered while ejection fraction is preserved, and - in cardiac MRI, T1 mapping should be reduced1. This was also previously demonstrated in Fabry patients with LVH2. However, are these abnormalities of longitudinal deformation in echocardiography and of T1 mapping in MRI correlated to the presence of pejorative cardiac markers (such as clinical and functional tolerances, Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) level and electrical complications)?
This is an open label switch over study to assess the safety and efficacy of PRX-102 (pegunigalsidase alfa). Patients treated with agalsidase alfa for at least 2 years and on a stable dose (>80% labelled dose/kg) for at least 6 months. Patients will be screened and evaluated over 3 months while continuing on agalsidase alfa. Following the screening period, the patient will be enrolled and switched from their agalsidase alfa treatment to receive intravenous (IV) infusions of PRX-102 1 mg/kg every two weeks for 12 months. No more than 25% of treated patients will be female.
Six patients with Fabry disease will be recruited. Patients will receive a single dose of 0.2 mg/kg recombinant human alpha-galactosidase A produced in moss (moss-aGal) as intravenous infusion. Patients will be hospitalized during the infusion and for at least 24 hours after the end of the infusion. Treatment will be administered sequentially: if a patient shows no safety concerns on the treatment day, treatment of the next patient will commence on the following day.
In patients with Fabry disease, this research study explores the presence of podocytes in their urine as a potential non-invasive biomarker for baseline kidney disease; and explores changes in the quantity of podocytes in their urine over time as a predictor for kidney disease progression. To accomplish this, the investigators will evaluate the quantification of podocytes in the urine of Fabry disease patients at baseline and longitudinally over time. This study requires a single patient visit, during which the patient provides a urine specimen. The research team will then collect the patient's kidney function data proximate to the time of urine collection, and follow the patient's kidney function data longitudinally over the five years of this study by reviewing their medical charts. The study offers no interventions.
Sudoscan™ (Impeto Medical, Paris France) uses electrochemical skin conductance as a novel noninvasive method to detect sudomotor dysfunction. Several small studies have recently shown that Sudoscan use in the assessment of small fiber polyneuropathy (in diabetes mellitus) can be performed non-invasively, quickly and effectively. The investigators aim to study the use of Sudoscan in rare disease condition associated with small fiber polyneuropathy.
The aim of this study was to investigate renal function decline by measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) in patients with FD during enzyme replacement therapy, and to explore the influence of age on renal function in FD.
Anderson Fabry disease (AFD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase. AFD can involve various organs and lead to a series of clinical abnormalities. Left ventricular hypertrophy in middle-aged men is one of its life threatening complications. It was shown that pending the absence of myocardial replacement fibrosis, substitution therapy could improve myocardial morphology and function as well as exercise capacity. Today, there is no available marker of the efficacy of the treatment on the heart morphology and function. The T1 time (or longitudinal relaxation time) is one of the major components of the image formation in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (along with T2 time and proton density). Several techniques have been described to assess the myocardial T1-time. One of them called MOLLI (Modified Look Locker Inversion Recovery), was made available in research centres by the Siemens company. In a study published in 2013, Sado et al. showed in a series of various conditions (hypertension, AFD, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, AL amyloidosis, aortic stenosis and healthy volunteers) that a septal T1 below a threshold of 940ms could discriminate AFD patients. No overlap was shown with other conditions in this study. Our experience with T1 mapping supports that finding (even though our threshold could be slightly different), and we could recently detect by MRI a number of AFD patients, some of them with hypertrophy, some others without hypertrophy. The effect of Replagal® on the T1 relaxation time remains unknown. The purpose of that study was to follow-up the heart morphology, function and myocardial T1 relaxation time in a population of treated/untreated patients.
The primary purpose of this study was to assess the safety and tolerability of lucerastat in adults with Fabry Disease receiving Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT). The secondary objectives were to investigate the effects of lucerastat on plasma and urine levels of biomarkers, to assess its effects on renal and cardiac functions and to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of lucerastat at steady-state.
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.
