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 has/had onset of symptoms compatible with Pompe disease after 12 months of age. Age at onset of symptoms must be documented in the patient's medical record(s).
  • The patient has documented GAA deficiency consistent with a diagnosis of Pompe disease, or the patient has a confirmed diagnosis of Pompe disease by documented genotype. Tissues used for determination of GAA deficiency may include blood, muscle or skin fibroblasts.
  • The patient must have the following conditions: a. The patient must be wheelchair bound (unable to ambulate with the use of assistive devices, such as walker, cane, or crutches) AND b. The patient requires the use of invasive ventilation (defined as the use of any form of ventilatory support applied through an endotracheal tube).
  • Female patients of childbearing potential must have a documented negative pregnancy test prior to dosing each month. In addition, all female patients of childbearing potential must use a medically accepted method of contraception throughout the program. Male patients who are sexually active must use a barrier method of contraception.

Who cannot join

  • Use of any investigational product within 30 days prior to program enrollment.
  • Major congenital abnormality;
  • Clinically significant organic disease (with the exception of symptoms relating to late-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.
  • The patient meets the clinical characteristics described in the inclusion criteria for participation in other Genzyme Corporation-sponsored treatment study currently enrolling patients with late-onset Pompe disease.

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 alglucosidase alfa on an expanded access basis, to severely affected patients with late-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 studies currently enrolling patients with late-onset Pompe disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Myozyme in people with Glycogen Storage Disease Type II and Glycogenosis 2, run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 8 sites in United States.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Feb 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Provide ERT with Myozyme in severly affected patients with Late-onset Pompe disease (time frame: 52 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 6 Feb 2014.
