Filter by:Pompe disease is an inherited condition of acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) deficiency resulting in lysosomal accumulation of glycogen in all tissues. Glycogen accumulation leads to muscle dysfunction and profound muscle weakness. A wide spectrum of disease is characteristic and the most severe patients have cardiorespiratory failure, often fatal in the first two years of life. Researchers have developed a way to introduce the normal GAA gene into muscle cells with the expectation that the GAA protein will be produced at levels sufficient to reduce glycogen accumulation. This study will evaluate the safety of the experimental gene transfer procedure in individuals with GAA deficiency. The study will also determine what dose may be required to achieve improvement in measures of respiratory function.
An international consensual group recommends confirming the diagnosis of the Pompe disease after a dried blood spot (DBS) with a dosage of the enzymatic activity in other tissue. This strategy is currently used in the usual practice. The aim is evaluate the prevalence of the Pompe disease among patients with progressive limb girdle muscular weakness and/or axial deficiency, and/or respiratory insufficiency. The diagnosis will be confirmed using DBS.
This extension study was to monitor the long-term safety and efficacy of rhGAA treatment in a single patient with infantile-onset Pompe disease who were previously treated with rhGAA in a Genzyme study.

To describe severe late onset patients with pompe disease receiving Myozyme®
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, clinical benefits and safety of a prophylactic immunomodulatory regimen given prior to first treatment with alglucosidase alfa (Myozyme®) in patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease. The objectives were to assess the efficacy of a prophylactic immunomodulatory regimen given prior to first treatment with alglucosidase alfa, as assessed by anti-recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase (anti-rhGAA) antibody titers, and antibodies that inhibit the activity and/or uptake of alglucosidase alfa; to evaluate the clinical benefit as measured by overall survival, ventilator-free survival, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), gross motor function and development, disability index and the incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and clinical laboratory abnormalities.
The objective is to determine if alglucosidase alfa is present in breast milk from mothers with Pompe Disease being treated with alglucosidase alfa and to measure breast milk production and composition in women with Pompe Disease who receive alglucosidase alfa.
The purpose of this study is to see how molecules called pharmacological chaperones affect the cells of patients with Pompe disease. The study will last 1 or 2 visits which will include a blood collection, urine collection, and two skin biopsies. Information will also be collected from the medical records about disease history and diagnosis. Patients will not receive any study medication.
Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease Type II) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic muscle disease caused by the deficiency of acid α glucosidase (GAA), an enzyme that degrades lysosomal glycogen. As opposed to the exclusively cytoplasmic accumulation of glycogen that occurs in other glycogen storage disorders, Pompe disease is characterized by organelle bound (lysosomal) and extra-lysosomal accumulation of glycogen in many body tissues, ultimately leading to multisystemic pathology. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term growth and development of participants with infantile-onset Pompe disease with alglucosidase alfa before 1 year of age. Participants were to be followed for a 10-year period.
Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease Type II) is caused by a deficiency of a critical enzyme in the body called acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA). Normally, GAA is used by the body's cells to break down glycogen (a stored form of sugar) within specialized structures called lysosomes. In patients with Pompe disease, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. The objective of this exploratory study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of alternative dosing regimens of alglucosidase alfa in patients with Pompe disease who have not demonstrated an optimal response to the standard dosing regimen of 20 mg/kg every other week after a minimum of 6 months treatment immediately prior to study entry.
