Filter by:An open-labeled, prospective, single-center proof-of-concept study. Patients with Gaucher Disease aged 18-75 who received intravenous Enzyme Replacement Therapy once every two weeks were enrolled. The study utilized the Altus Care™ cellular phone-based application, which integrated an algorithm-based approach to provide random dosing regimens within a pre-defined range determined by the physician. The app allowed personalized therapeutic regimens with variations in dosages and administration times.
The objective of this study is to assess Elelyso treatment on bone disease in Gaucher patients currently treated with other enzyme replacement therapy. Experience from early access program (2009-2012) has suggested that some patients who have been stable on imiglucerase have shown poor scores of QCSI with Fat Fraction below the cut off point of 0.23 which is considered "bone at risk", and have demonstrated remarkable improvement upon switching to Elelyso, including particularly 2 patients who did not have any change in dose or any drug interruption prior to the switch. These findings may be explained by the better glycan structure of imiglucerase (see Tekoah et al, 2013). The fact that in many patients prevention of bony complications is the main indication for ERT highlights the importance of this study, as all clinical trials of all ERTS heretofore did not include the bones as primary or secondary end-points but only as exploratory, and as such had only limited value,
Background: In order to allow our satisfied patients, who have successfully completed 24 months of rapid intravenous infusion of Velaglucerase alfa (VPRIV), to continue with the 10 minutes IV therapy, the clinical trial framework must be extended; and this extension is important for the assessment of long term benefit (up to 5 years) of this regimen of administration of Velaglucerase alfa.. Suggested trial: An additional 36 months home therapy follow up of safety and efficacy of rapid intravenous infusion of Velaglucerase alfa (VPRIV) in adult patients with type 1 Gaucher disease. Patients must have completed the prior 4 parts / 24 months of the protocol before enrolling into this extension phase ("Part 5") and have provided a new consent before entering PART 5 of the study. Patients must not have experienced clinically significant AEs, including allergic reactions, in any of the prior study parts of this protocol to be eligible to participate, and have maintained stability in the key disease features. All infusions of 10' will be given in the context of home therapy. "Clinically significant" AEs will be determined by the PI using standard description of AEs as previously described at phase 3, and if necessary will support withdrawal of the patient from the study.
Ambroxol hydrochloride, an over-the-counter antitussive available in many markets , was identified as an interesting pharmacological chaperone. In addition to a mucolytic action, ambroxol has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Importantly, ambroxol therapy was found safe when given to pregnant women for prevention of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome . Thus, ambroxol, an oral available drug on the market, may be a safe option for GD patients with potential disease-specific efficacy and should be expanded into a clinical trial using higher doses and placebo-controlled design. The investigators propose to start with a phase II study for patients with type 1 GD and suboptimal response to ERT. In addition the investigators plan to open an international registry of patients with GD currently receiving ambroxol (off study).
This study with standardized reading MRIs, will provide for the first time objective and quantified data on organomegaly (liver and spleen volumes) as well as bone alteration (Bone Marrow Burden11) of French patients treated with VPRIV®. These data will help to better assess the impact of this treatment on these parameters. The result of this study will also answer in part to the request of the French Transparency Commission (CT: Commission de Transparence) of the French National Health Authority to provide them with data of French patients treated with VPRIV®.
The purpose of this study is to compare the accuracy and comparability and secondarily to assess the values achieved by measurement of the forearm BMD by DXA and SOS by BeamMed, relative to standard DXA evaluations at the FN and LS.
This study evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of afegostat tartrate in participants with Gaucher disease who were enrolled in a previous Phase 2 study of afegostat tartrate.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of every other week dosing of Gene-Activated® human glucocerebrosidase (GA-GCB, velaglucerase alfa) intravenously in patients with type 1 Gaucher disease.
Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCB). Due to the deficiency of functional GCB, glucocerebroside accumulates within macrophages leading to cellular engorgement, organomegaly, and organ system dysfunction. The purpose of this non-inferiority study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GA-GCB (velaglucerase alfa) administered every other week in comparison to imiglucerase in treatment naive patients with type 1 Gaucher disease.
This study evaluated the safety and tolerability of afegostat tartrate in participants with type 1 Gaucher disease who were not receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) or substrate reduction therapy (SRT).
