Trial summary

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. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The patient or the patient's legal guardian(s) must provide written informed consent prior to any study-related procedures being performed;
  • The patient must have a diagnosis of infantile-onset Pompe disease as defined by: a) The patient has/had onset of symptoms compatible with Pompe disease by 12 months of age adjusted for gestation, if necessary. Age at onset of symptoms must be documented in the patient's medical record(s). AND b) The patient has documented GAA deficiency, i.e., below the laboratory-defined cut-off value as determined by the laboratory performing the GAA enzyme activity assay. Tissues used for determination of GAA deficiency may include blood, muscle or skin fibroblasts.
  • Patients less than or equal to 6 months of age must have one of the following: a) Cardiomyopathy, defined as a LVMI determined by cross-sectional echocardiography; OR b) a requirement for invasive or non-invasive ventilatory support, where non-invasive ventilation is defined as any form of ventilatory support applied without the use of an endotracheal tube.
  • Patients greater than 6 months of age must have 2 of the following: a) Cardiomyopathy, defined as a LVMI determined by cross-sectional echocardiography; b) a requirement for invasive or non-invasive ventilatory support, where non-invasive ventilation is defined as any form of ventilatory support applied without the use of an endotracheal tube; OR c) Severe motor delay, defined as failure to perform gross motor skills achieved by 90% of normal aged peers on the Denver Developmental Assessment;
  • The patient or his/her legal guardian(s) must have the ability to comply with the clinical protocol.

Who cannot join

  • Major congenital abnormality;
  • Clinically significant organic disease (with the exception of symptoms relating to infantile-onset Pompe disease), including clinically significant cardiovascular, hepatic, pulmonary, neurologic, or renal disease, or other medical condition, serious intercurrent illness, or extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude participation in the study or potentially decrease survival.

About this study

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 protocol is to provide enzyme replacement therapy with rhGAA on an expanded access basis, to severely affected patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease for whom there is no alternative treatment and who do not meet the clinical characteristics described in the inclusion criteria for participation in other Genzyme Corporation-sponsored study currently enrolling patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing alglucosidase alfa in people with Glycogen Storage Disease Type II and Glycogenosis 2, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00074919, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Feb 2014.
