International, multicenter, epidemiological study to demonstrate the correlation and predictive value of lyso-Gb1 concentration with the clinical severity of naïve, initially non-ERT/SRT Gaucher disease type 1 and during the study ERT/SRT-newly started Gaucher type 1 patients and to correlate lyso-Gb1 concentration with the clinical improvement of ERT or SRT treated Gaucher type 1 and the clinical course of non-treated patients based on GD-DS3
Although lysosomal storage disorders, such as Fabry disease, Gaucher disease, and Pompe disease, represent serious challenges in the healthcare system, no study has yet investigated the prevalence of these diseases in the US. Frequently, patients show progressive worsening of symptoms for several years before they get diagnosed. Since many of these diseases can be managed therapeutically, it is important to identify and treat patients in order to avoid organ damage. The investigators aim to undertake a screening study that identifies undiagnosed patients with lysosomal storage disorders and determine the prevalence of these diseases with special focus on underrepresented minority groups.
This is an open-label, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety of oral PRX-112 and pharmacokinetics of GCD in subjects with Gaucher disease naive to enzyme replacement therapy. The dose levels of PRX-112 are 50 units, 100 units, 200 units and 400 units GCD. Subjects will receive once daily oral administrations of PRX-112 for 5 consecutive days at each dose level with a 2-day washout period between doses.
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.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ISU302 in patients with Type 1 Gaucher disease previously treated with Imiglucerase.
Rational: Imiglucerase has been used to treat Gaucher disease since 1997 but data about its pharmacokinetics have been partial; investigators know that imiglucerase undergoes a quick clearance from plasma compartment following the infusion (1/2 life: 1-6 min, from tissue: <24h), an observation apparently contradictory with usual infusion rhythm (one infusion every two weeks). Furthermore, by going by GD response, the rhythm of Infusion is sometimes diminished (for example, every 3 or 4 wks) without pharmacological rational ; In parallel, investigators demonstrated that monocytes represent a satisfactory surrogate of GD target cells and that enzyme activity into monocytes varies between individuals. Our hypothesis is that enzyme activity into monocyte compartment could be different and could be related to GD response. Primary purpose: to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of Imiglucerase activity into target cellular compartment depending on dose and frequency of infusions. Secondary purposes : 1) to establish a possible relationship between the intra-monocytic activity of glucocerebrosidase and the clinical and biological activity of Gaucher disease and to define a possible threshold value of enzyme activity; 2) to establish a better correlation with known biomarkers of disease (routine markers and markers recently identified), which would better predict and / or monitor response to treatment ; 3) to compare the residual and natural rate of activity enzyme intra-monocytic for untreated patients (low severity disease).
The investigated cohort will examine liver and spleen fibrosis in patients with Gaucher disease divided into two groups, naive GD patients and GD patients treated with ERT. As liver biopsy in these patients not recommended because the risk of bleeding using Fibroscan is a safe with diagnostic accuracy regarding the liver (& Spleen) fibrosis. Estimating spleen fibrosis is an innovative approach in liver disease and Gaucher. The evaluation of fibrosis with this new and safe method could avoid complications antiinvasive procedure in GD patients. The addition of fibrosis biomarkers will help for patients score evaluation. The finding of liver and spleen stiffness will be evaluated in native and ERT treated Gaucher patients in order to assess ERT effect on fibrosis. The Aims are: 1) To assess liver and spleen stiffness measurement using fibroscan and evaluate liver and spleen fibrosis in patients with GD. 2) To compare the elastography in two cohorts of GD patients: ERT treated and naïve GD patients and two control groups of patients: healthy and Non Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) patients. 3) To correlate the elastography findings with clinical and laboratory data in the four patient groups focusing on Gaucher disease manifestations and GD severity. To compare the elastography in GD naïve and ERT treated patients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of single dosing study with three ascending dose cohorts of ISU302 in healthy subjects.
Gaucher disease is an inherited deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCB) that leads to progressive accumulation of glucocerebroside within macrophages and subsequent tissue and organ damage; typically of the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and brain. Type 1 Gaucher disease affects an estimated 30,000 persons worldwide and is the most common. Type 1 Gaucher disease does not involve the central nervous system. Patients with Type 2 Gaucher disease present with acute neurological deterioration, which leads to early death. Those with Type 3 disease typically display a more sub-acute neurological course, with later onset and slower progression. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety of every other week (EOW) dosing of velaglucerase alfa in Japanese patients with Gaucher disease who completed study HGT-GCB-087 and elected to continue treatment with velaglucerase alfa. Velaglucerase alfa has been developed and approved as an enzyme replacement therapy for Type 1 Gaucher disease.
