A Randomized, Multicenter, Multinational, Phase 3B, Open-Label, Parallel-Group Study of Fabrazyme (Agalsidase Beta) in Treatment-Naïve Male Pediatric Patients With Fabry Disease Without Severe Symptoms
The purpose of this study is to determine whether 2 alternative dosing regimens of Fabrazyme
(agalsidase beta) (1.0 mg/kg every 4 weeks or 0.5 mg/kg every 2 weeks) are effective in
treatment-naïve pediatric patients without severe symptoms. Patients will be treated for 5
years.
(agalsidase beta) (1.0 mg/kg every 4 weeks or 0.5 mg/kg every 2 weeks) are effective in
treatment-naïve pediatric patients without severe symptoms. Patients will be treated for 5
years.
Inclusion Criteria:
- The patient and/or patient's parent(s)/legal guardian(s) must provide written
informed assent/consent prior to any protocol-related procedures being performed.
- The patient must have a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease as documented by
leukocyte α-Galactosidase A (αGAL) activity of <4 nmol/hr/mg leukocyte (preferred
assay; results from a central laboratory). If the leukocyte αGAL activity assay is
difficult to obtain, the patient may be enrolled based on documented plasma αGAL <1.5
nmol/hr/mL, with the agreement of the Medical Monitor (results from a central
laboratory).
- The patient must have evidence of globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulation as
documented by plasma GL-3 (>7.0 µg/mL) or urinary GL-3 (>0.3 mg GL-3/mmol creatinine)
levels (results from a central laboratory).
- The patient must be male ≥5 and ≤18 years of age.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patient has albuminuria (first morning void urinary albumin/creatinine ratio >30 mg/g
on at least 2 out of 3 consecutive samples, each at least 1 week apart).
- Patient has a Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) by iohexol <90 L/min/1.73m^2. In case
of properly documented low protein intake, values as low as 80 mL/min/1.73 m^2 may be
acceptable, after consultation with the Medical Monitor.
- Patient has documented evidence of stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA), or if a
brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been performed, bright lesions >2 mm on
T2- or fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR)- weighted images within the white
matter or the basal ganglia.
- Patient has severe and recurrent acroparesthesia, judged by the physician as frequent
(more than once a week) pain episodes for at least 3 months that influence daily
activities, irrespective of medication.
- Patient has an end-diastolic left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWTd)
and/or an end-diastolic interventricular septum thickness (IVSTd)≥2 standard
deviations (SD) compared to normal (based on body surface area [BSA] normal ranges
from Kampmann, et al 2000) as read at the study site.
- Patient has received prior treatment specific to Fabry Disease.
- Patient has participated in a study employing an investigational drug within 30 days
of the start of their participation in this study.
- Patient has any medical condition or extenuating circumstance, which in the opinion
of the Study Investigator, could interfere with study compliance.
- Patient has any medical condition or extenuating circumstance, for example diabetes
mellitus, which in the opinion of the Study Investigator, could interfere with the
interpretation of study results.
- Patient is on treatment with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin
receptor blockers (ACEIs/ARBs).
- Patient has any contra-indication mentioned in the labeling of Fabrazyme and/or
iohexol (Omnipaque).
- Patient or parent(s)/legal guardian(s) is unwilling to comply with the requirements
of the protocol.
