Filter by:This study aims to evaluate blood oxygenation at the optic nerve head in relation with visual field losses observed in many Fabry patients. Data collected will allow to evaluate if there is a link between these two entities. Study will last up to 2 years during which a limited number of Fabry patients will be compared to a control group to confirm any relationship between blood flow and field losses, and to see if these results vary over time. HYPOTHESIS 1. Fabry patients will present significant differences in visual fields compared to control 2 There will be variability of the visual field defects on the long term but not on the short term 3 Blood oxygenation will be higher for Fabry patients 4 Blood volume at the optic nerve head will be the same for both groups.
Fabry disease is a recessively inherited disorder due to systemic storage of abnormal metabolites (ceramide trihexocide, in particular) caused by lack of the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase. Though X-linked, in patient series there are often equal numbers of males (hemizygotes ) and females (heterozygotes, probably caused by a mutation in one allele and an inactivation on the other allele in the X chromosomes), and many clinical features are shared. Abnormal storage in endothelial and smooth muscle cells explains morbidity, including a shortened life expectancy. This is due to age dependent ischaemic manifestations that affect heart, kidney and brain. Angiofibroma is an early cutaneous manifestation, and painful acro-paresthesias express juvenile neuropathy. Cornea verticillata is an almost obligate ophthalmic finding. The brown-yellow Bowman membrane related corneal deposits and teleangiectatic conjunctival vessels are early ophthalmic slit-lamp markers of the disorder; further there can be subtle lens opacities. Fundus vessel tortuosity is observed in many patients, in particular of the retinal venules, but best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is usually normal. After the introduction of enzyme substitution therapy in 2001, ophthalmic examinations were scheduled as regular part of the general evaluation of the Fabry patients at Rigshospitalet, Denmark. A 10-year ophthalmic state of arts was part of oral presentations at a Copenhagen conference in December 2011. In contrast to the common occurrence of systemic vascular sequels, only one patient in the series had suffered severe visual loss; this was unilateral and occurred years before institution of the enzyme therapy. In 2013, however, another young male presented a similar retinal event. Sporadic cases of visual loss are reported in the literature, but in larger Fabry series ocular vascular catastrophes appear the exception to the rule. Following the introduction of enzyme substitution, we found it of interest to present our nationwide Danish experience. We focused on retinal vessel morphology and the relation to systemic morbidity.
To evaluate the ongoing safety, tolerability, and efficacy parameters of PRX-102 in adult Fabry patients who have successfully completed treatment with PRX-102 in studies PB-102-F01 and PB-102-F02.
Prospective, observational cohort study to investigate the prevalence of sleepiness and sleep-related breathing disorders in patients with Fabry disease (FD). For this, an Epworth Sleepiness Score (ESS) and ambulatory overnight respiratory polygraphy (oRP) is obtained in all subjects.
GR181413A/AT1001 (migalastat hydrochloride) is a low molecular weight iminosugar, an analog of the terminal galactose group that is cleaved from the substrate GL-3. This compound was researched and developed as a drug for treatment of Fabry disease. This study, MGM115806, will be the first administration of GR181413A/AT1001 to Japanese subjects to investigate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single oral doses in healthy Japanese adult subjects. Approximately 12 subjects will receive three treatments of 50, 150 and 450 mg GR181413A/AT1001 under fasted conditions plus placebo in a dose ascending crossover design. Serial pharmacokinetic samples will be collected and safety assessments will be performed following each dose. The pharmacokinetics and dose proportionality of GR181413A/AT1001 after single oral doses of GR181413A/AT1001 at the dose levels of 50, 150 and 450 mg under fasted conditions will be assessed.
No investigational drug will be administered in this study for the treatment of Fabry disease. This will be a multicenter, multinational, non-treatment, cross-sectional study of young male patients with Fabry disease who have not yet initiated interventional treatment for this disease. The study will consist of a screening visit(s), a clinical investigation visit(s), and a follow-up phone contact. The objectives of the study are: - To document renal function and other Fabry disease manifestations across age in treatment-naïve, young male patients with Fabry disease. - To provide a reference group for comparison with interventional clinical trials of Fabry disease. The duration of each patient's participation in the study, inclusive of the screening visit and follow-up phone contact, will be approximately 12 weeks.
Patients will be enrolled into one of three PRX-102 dosing groups (0.2 mg/kg, 1.0 mg/kg, 2.0 mg/kg), to receive the same dose they had received in Phase 1/2 study PB-102-F01, and will continue to receive PRX-102 as an intravenous infusion every 2 weeks for 38 weeks.
This study is a prospective active comparator study to assess the immune response elicited by human recombinant agalsidase therapy in subjects who are switching from agalsidase alfa to agalsidase beta with Fabry disease. Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder, due to deficient alpha-galactosidase A activity. The progressive accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) in the lysosomes of the vascular endothelial cells of multiple organ systems like the kidneys, heart, skin, and brain, leads to a microvascular disease. In Fabry disease, nephropathy dominates and renal function impairment occurs as a result of accumulation of GL-3 in renal cells
This study is designed to describe the metabolism of AT1001 (migalastat HCl) and the contribution of metabolism and urinary excretion to its overall elimination as part of the continuing assessment of the safety and effectiveness of the drug. This is a Phase 1, single-site, open-label, single dose study of the absorption, metabolism and excretion of radiolabeled AT1001 in healthy male subjects between 30 and 55 years of age, inclusive. Six subjects will be dosed, with the goal of having at least 4 subjects complete the study through follow-up. All subjects will be screened within 28 days before admission to the Clinical Unit. Subjects will be confined to the clinical unit for 10 days after dosing and will return to the clinic for a follow-up visit 28 days after dosing. Each subject will receive a single oral dose of AT1001 as an aqueous solution containing 150 mg [14C] AT1001 (1 μCi). Blood, duodenal bile, expired air, urine, and feces samples will be collected at specified time points after dosing throughout the period of confinement at the study site. Safety will be assessed throughout the study by monitoring clinical laboratory tests, ECGs, physical examinations, vital signs, and adverse events. The total duration of the study for each subject is approximately 8 weeks.
This study will assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) study of a single dose of 150 mg AT1001 (migalastat HCl, GR181413A) administered orally to healthy subjects with normal renal function and to subjects with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment.
