Filter by:Primary Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of neoGAA in treatment naïve and alglucosidase alfa treated late-onset Pompe disease patients. Secondary Objective: To evaluate the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics of neoGAA in treatment naïve and alglucosidase alfa treated late-onset Pompe disease patients. To evaluate the effect of neoGAA on exploratory efficacy endpoints in treatment naïve and alglucosidase alfa treated late-onset Pompe disease patients.
In this study the study team proposes to investigate the efficacy of albuterol on motor function of individuals with Late Onset Pompe Disease (LOPD) who are receiving enzyme replacement therapy, given albuterol was well-tolerated in patients with Late Onset Pompe Disease.
Albuterol is a drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating breathing problems such as asthma. Studies have shown that albuterol may be beneficial in improving muscle function in people with late-onset Pompe disease. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether albuterol is safe and effective for improving muscle function in people with late-onset Pompe disease, whether or not they are receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). For this study, albuterol is considered an investigational drug. The word "investigational" means albuterol is not approved by the FDA for individuals with late-onset Pompe disease.
The purpose of this study is to test the feasibility of a newborn screen assay for Pompe disease
To collect uniform and meaningful data on patients with Pompe disease who experience anaphylaxis, severe allergic reactions, and/or signals of severe cutaneous and/or systemic immune complex-mediated reactions following treatment with alglucosidase alfa.
The purpose of the study is to determine if respiratory muscle strength training will be beneficial for inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength in adults and children with Pompe disease.
This is a longitudinal natural history study of Infantile Pompe disease. The investigators will regularly collect and review medical information regarding the diagnosis of Pompe disease, response to enzyme replacement (ERT) using alglucosidase alfa (Lumizyme/Myozyme) and response to immunosuppressive therapy in cases at risk for developing or those who have developed high and sustained antibodies to ERT. To follow the long-term outcomes, we will collect medical records including but not limited to the diagnosis, clinical parameters, assessments for clinical monitoring, and laboratory values including antibody testing results.
This study explores the outcome and effect of pregnancy on Pompe Disease. The results are expected to guide clinicians in counseling and care of women with Pompe disease, who are planning to become pregnant, and during the pregnancy.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of treatment with 4000 litre (L) alglucosidase alfa (Lumizyme®) in Pompe participants.
The adult onset form can occur between the second and sixth decades of life as a form of proximal myopathy, predominantly in the pelvic girdle area. Sometimes the first symptoms are shortness of breath and diaphragm weakness which herald progressive proximal muscle weakness. The heart and liver are not affected. Serum CK (Creatine Kinase) activity is 2 to 10 times higher than normal. EMG (electromyogram) testing usually reveals a myopathic pattern and muscle biopsy may show vacuoles containing an accumulation of glycogen that is not broken down. Until fairly recently, an assay of acid maltase activity using cultured fibroblasts after biopsy of skin or muscle tissue was required for diagnosis, as leukocytes contain a renal isoenzyme that is not absent in these patients and which can mask the deficit and result in false negatives. In recent years this problem has ben solved by the introduction of acarbose, an inhibitor of renal α-glucosidase; it is also used in the dried blood spot method, which measures acid maltase activity using maltose and acarbose as inhibitors and 4-methylumbelliferyl-D-glucopyranoside as substrate.
