Clinical Trial Summary

Treatment of neutropenia of Glycogenosis type 1b patients with empagliflozin


Clinical Trial Description

Symptoms of glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD Ib) include - among others - hypoglycemia, hepatomegaly and neutropenia with concomitant neutrophil dysfunction, which results in recurrent bacterial and fungal infections, and inflammatory bowel disease. At present filgrastim is the only available drug to treat neutropenia in GSD Ib patients; it stimulates neutrophil production, but doesn't restore their function. Part of GSD Ib patients doesn't respond to filgrastim treatment. The latest research results showed, that neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction in GSD Ib patients are results of extensive accumulation of 1,5-anhydroglucitol-phosphate. Empagliflozin, a SGLT2 inhibitor, inhibits renal glucose and 1,5-anhydroglucitol reabsorption and is an effective and safe method of treatment of neutropenia in this group of patients. Empagliflozin (Jardiance®) is a drug, which is registered in Poland to treat type II diabetes in adults. The aim of our study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of neutropenia in patients with GSD Ib with empagliflozin (Jardiance®). ;
