Filter by:The main aim of this study is to measure the safety and to find out the effects of VPRIV in participants with Gaucher disease using both retrospective and prospective data when used in the post-marketing setting and to collect genetic mutation data from participants with Gaucher disease. This study is about collecting data available in the participant's medical record as well as data from each participant's ongoing treatment. No study medicines will be provided to participants in this study. When the participants start the study, they will visit the study clinic close to approximately 12 months.
J3Z-MC-OJAB is an open-label, Phase 1/2, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of single-dose LY3884961 (formerly PR001) in infants diagnosed with Type 2 Gaucher disease (GD2). For each patient, the study will be approximately 5 years in duration. During the first 12 months after dosing, patients will be evaluated for the effects of LY3884961 on safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, biomarkers, and efficacy. Patients will be followed up for an additional 4 years to monitor safety and changes on selected biomarkers and clinical outcomes.
Ambroxol hydrochloride is an oral mucolytic drug available over-the-counter for many years as cough medicine. In 2009 it was found to also act as a pharmacological chaperone (PC) for mutant glucocerebrosidase, albeit in a several-fold higher dose. Unfortunately, due to its low cost, there have been no pharma-driven clinical trials to establish the use of ambroxol. Thus, data are needed on the safety and efficacy of ambroxol for patients with Gaucher disease (GD).
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,
The lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are monogenic disorders associated with inflammation affecting multiple organs, and early death. Few treatments are available that can modify the disease course, and there is an urgent need to identify new steps in pathogenesis that can be targeted therapeutically. The complement system is novel and highly plausible as a primary driver of inflammation and cellular injury in the LSDs. This study assesses the complement activation state in patients with Fabry disease (FD), Gaucher disease (GD) and Niemann-Pick disease, type C (NPC), with comparison to healthy controls. This has the potential for immense clinical benefit through targeted complement inhibition across the full spectrum of lysosomal storage disorders, in which key pathophysiological processes including the inflammatory response to lysosomally 'stored' materials are shared.
This was a multinational, open-label study to assess the safety and efficacy of AVR-RD-02 in approximately 8 to 16 subjects (male or female) who are ≥18 and ≤50 years of age and post pubertal at Screening with a confirmed diagnosis of Type 1 Gaucher disease (based on clinical phenotype, genotyping, and deficient GCase enzyme activity in whole blood).
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.
This study plans to analyze the molecular and clinical mechanisms of the relationship between the GBA mutations and Parkinson's disease. This will be assessed through the use of advanced neuroimaging techniques called PET (positron emission tomography) to study the accumulation of the tau protein and the dysfunction of acetylcholine and dopamine in the brain of people with a mutation in the GBA gene, with and without Parkinson's disease. The ingestigators will also use a technology-based assessment to study the typing patterns as possible biomarkers of early motor dysfunctions.
The main aim of this study is to describe the safety profile of velaglucerase alfa (VPRIV) in participants with Gaucher disease type 1. Participants will be transitioning from other enzyme replacement therapies or substrate reduction therapies to VPRIV. Some participants may have already transitioned to treatment with VPRIV before this study started. In this study, data on VPRIV will be collected from the medical records of participants who already transitioned to VPRIV before this study started. Other participants will join this study when they transition to VPRIV. All participants will be followed to allow for 12 months of observation from time of transition to VPRIV. The study sponsor will not be involved in how participants are treated but will provide instructions on how the clinics will record what happens during the study.
Bone-related problems represent the principal unmet medical need in Gaucher disease (GD). 75% of GD type 1 patients develop skeletal complications, including bone remodeling defects, osteopenia, osteoporosis, marrow infiltration, avascular necrosis, and osteolysis. However, the underlying cellular/molecular basis of bone involvement and related complications in GD are not fully known. Neither are there any bone-specific markers associated with individual bone pathology. Early diagnosis of bone disease is the key issue for planning individual therapy to prevent and reverse bone disease in GD.
