Filter by:Recent studies have has shown that magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can provide validated neuronal markers in patients with Type 1 GD (GD1) who are on stable therapy. However, alterations in neurometabolites in adult patients with GD3, who have established neurological involvement, are not well understood. The goal of this study is to characterize neurometabolite profiles in adult patients with GD3 using MRS to identify novel biomarkers that can demonstrate treatment response. Additionally, a secondary aim is to evaluate relationships between neurometabolites and disease parameters, such as genotype, enzyme levels and Gaucher disease (GD) biomarkers.
Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficient activity of the enzyme acid β-glucosidase, causing glucosylceramide to accumulate within macrophages and leading to hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and bone disease. In the non-neuronpathic form (type 1), disease manifestations are mostly systemic, whereas in the neuronopathic forms, glucosylceramide also accumulates in the central nervous sysem and leads to acute (type 2) or chronic (type 3) neurodegeneration. The purpose of this Phase 1/2 first-in-human study is to initially evaluate the safety and tolerability of two doses of CAN103, and then barring any safety concerns, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the two doses administered intravenously every other week in treatment-naive subjects with Gaucher disease type 1 or type 3.
The investigators aims to determine the the maternal and fetal safety and feasibility of in utero fetal enzyme replacement therapy in fetuses with Lysosomal Storage Diseases.
