Filter by: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 main purpose of this study was to determine the safety and tolerability of 3 different doses of duvoglustat (AT2220) in participants affected by Pompe disease. The study also evaluated the effects of duvoglustat on functional parameters in Pompe disease.
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.
The Pompe Registry is a global, multicenter, international, longitudinal, observational, and voluntary program for patients with Pompe disease, designed to track the disease's natural history and outcomes in patients, both treated and not. Data from the Registry are also used to fulfill various global regulatory commitments, to support product development/reimbursement, and for other research and non-research related purposes. The objectives of the Registry are: - To enhance understanding of the variability, progression, identification, and natural history of Pompe disease, with the ultimate goal of better guiding and assessing therapeutic intervention. - To assist the Pompe medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring patients, and to provide reports on patient outcomes, to optimize patient care. - To characterize the Pompe disease population. - To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of alglucosidase alfa.

The primary objective of this study is to identify potential candidates for future clinical studies in Pompe disease.
Glycogen Storage Disease Type II ("GSD-II"; also known as Pompe disease) 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 GSD-II, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase (rhGAA) as a potential enzyme replacement therapy for GSD-II. Patients diagnosed with infantile-onset GSD-II who are greater than 6 months old, but less than or equal to 36 months old will be studied.

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 GSD-II, an excessive amount of glycogen accumulates and is stored in various tissues, especially heart and skeletal muscle, which prevents their normal function. This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase (rhGAA) as a potential enzyme replacement therapy for a pair of siblings with GSD-II. To be eligible for this study, a patient must have a confirmed diagnosis of GSD-II and have a sister or brother who also has a confirmed diagnosis of GSD-II.
