About this study

Official title: Utilization of 3D Echocardiography in the Management of Infantile Pompe's Disease: Two Case Reports

Pompe's disease, also known as glycogen storage disease type II, is a genetic disorder due to deficiency of acid glucosidase (GAA), which results in lysosomal glycogen storage in various tissues.

Very low levels of GAA usually present in infancy, lead to a progressive cardiac and skeletal muscle disorder and death before age 1 year.

Most infants develop massive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy which progresses to dilated cardiomyopathy and cardiorespiratory arrest.

3D echocardiography can be a simple, non-invasive method of following cardiac disease progression in infantile Pompe's disease.

Read the detailed description

We report the utilization of real-time 3D echocardiography and new in-line software to calculate cardiac mass, volume and function in two cases of infantile Pompe's Disease. Furthermore, the multi-dimension cine loop showed the severity of cavity obliteration during the cardiac cycle.

We present 2 cases seen at our institution between January - February, 2005 in infants ages 1 and 5 months, both with cardiac signs as initial presentation. The younger infant had cardiomegaly since birth and was hospitalized briefly for respiratory distress at 1 month. The older infant, diagnosed at 4 months with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, was hospitalized after cardiac arrest one month later. Both children had various tests done during the course of diagnosis and treatment, including GAA enzyme assay, cardiac catheterization, endomyocardial biopsy, developmental assessment, genetic evaluation, EKG, CXR and echocardiography.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Disorders, run by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Mar 2012. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: project withdrawn). 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?
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 16 Mar 2012.
