Filter by:Evaluation of the safety in the combination usage of Cerdelga and Cerezyme in type III Gaucher disease patients and the efficacy on soft tissue diseases.
Primary Objective: Evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics of eliglustat in pediatric patients (≥2 to <18 years old). Secondary Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of eliglustat and quality of life in pediatric patients (≥2 to <18 years old).
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 understand the course of rare genetic disorders that affect the brain. This data is being analyzed to gain a better understanding of the progression of the rare neurodegenerative disorders and the effects of interventions.
The Gaucher Outcomes Survey (GOS) is an ongoing observational, international, multi-center, long-term Registry of Patients with Gaucher Disease irrespective of their treatment status or type of treatment received. No experimental intervention is involved. Patients undergo clinical assessments and receive care as determined by the patients' treating physician. The objectives of the registry include to evaluate the safety and long-term effectiveness of velaglucerase alfa, to characterize patients receiving velaglucerase alfa or other Gaucher Disease-specific treatments, to gain a better understanding of the natural history of GD and to serve as a database for evidence-based management of Gaucher Disease over time in real-life clinical practice.
The purpose of this research is to review data already collected and to collect new data from adults and children in England with Gaucher Disease to determine clinical factors which predict severity and response to therapy of Gaucher disease especially in the areas of bone, cancer and brain conditions.
The study aims are to: a) identify the long-term natural history of Gaucher disease, b) evaluate long-term treatment efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and substrate reduction therapy (SRT), and c) identify potential long-term complications of this disorder. These aims will be accomplished through long-term record review of individuals with all three types of Gaucher disease.
In August of 2014, the FDA approved ELELYSO for long-term enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for pediatric subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of Type 1 Gaucher disease. The recommended dosage for treatment-naïve adult and pediatric subjects 4 years of age and older is 60 units per kg of body weight administered every other week as a 60 to 120 minute intravenous infusion. As a postmarketing commitment, the Sponsor agreed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety of Elelyso (taliglucerase alfa) in pediatric subjects with Type 1 Gaucher Disease. in at least 5 subjects with body weight less than 15 kg; at least 5 subjects with body weight 15 to less than 20 kg; and at least 5 subjects with body weight of 20-25 kg with Type 1 Gaucher disease dosed at 60 units/kg every other week. When applicable, PD measurements for children enrolled in the PK study may be obtained through the taliglucerase alfa registry (PMR 1895-5) and will include organ volumes (spleen and liver), hematological values (hemoglobin and platelets) as well as growth (height and weight) data. Safety data, including any serious hypersensitivity reactions, such as anaphylaxis, as well as changes in antibody status (ie, detection and titers of binding and neutralizing antibodies, and detection of IgE antibodies), will also be collected through the taliglucerase alfa registry.
Part 1: Biomarker evaluation/screening phase Primary Objectives: - Evaluate cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers in adult Gaucher disease Type 3 (GD3) patients that distinguish GD3 from adult Gaucher disease Type 1 (GD1) patients - Screen adult GD3 patients who qualify for treatment with venglustat in Parts 2, Part 3, and Part 4 Parts 2 and 3: Combination treatment phases Primary objectives: - Evaluate short-term (Part 2) and long-term (Part 3) safety and tolerability of venglustat in combination with Cerezyme in adult GD3 patients - Evaluate the change in CSF central nervous system (CNS) biomarkers (glucosylceramide [GL-1] and lyso-glucosylceramide [lyso-GL-1]) from adult GD3 patients receiving venglustat in combination with Cerezyme (Part 2 only) Part 4: Extended treatment phase with monotherapy Primary objectives: • Evaluate safety and tolerability of venglustat monotherapy in adult GD3 patients who have remained systemically stable on venglustat in combination with Cerezyme Parts 2 and 3: Combination treatment phases Secondary Objectives: - Evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of venglustat in adult GD3 patients - Explore the efficacy of venglustat in combination with Cerezyme in infiltrative lung disease (ILD) in adult GD3 patients (Part 2 only) - Explore the efficacy of venglustat in combination with Cerezyme in systemic disease in adult GD3 patients - Explore the efficacy of venglustat in combination with Cerezyme on neurological function in adult GD3 patients - Explore plasma biomarkers (lyso-GL-1 and GL-1) in adult GD3 patients - Explore CSF biomarkers other than lyso-GL-1 and GL-1 in adult GD3 patients (Part 2 only) Part 4: Extended treatment phase with monotherapy Secondary objectives: - Explore the efficacy of venglustat in systemic disease in adult GD3 patients - Explore the efficacy of venglustat on neurological function in adult GD3 patients - Explore plasma biomarkers (lyso-GL-1 and GL-1) in adult GD3 patients
Gaucher disease is a most common genetic metabolic disease characterized by low platelet number, liver and spleen enlargement and various forms of bone diseases including low bone mineral density leading to brittle bones. Various treatment options are now available for this disease. The purpose of this research study is to determine the prevalence of Gaucher disease in patients with low bone mineral density as observed by DEXA scan, which is a form of X-Ray of the bone.
