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

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Extension Study of Patients With Late-Onset Pompe Disease Who Were Previously Enrolled in Protocol AGLU02704

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 extension study is to assess the long-term safety and efficacy of alglucosidase alfa treatment in patients with Late-Onset Pompe Disease who were previously treated under the placebo-controlled, double-blind study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600).

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Alglucosidase Alfa/Alglucosidase AlfaExperimentalParticipants who received alglucosidase alfa during the double-blind study and, if they completed the double-blind study, continued that treatment during the extension study. Participants received an intravenous (IV) infusion of 20 mg/kg of alglucosidase alfa every other week (qow) until their participation in both the AGLU02704 (NCT00158600) and AGLU03206 studies combined equaled a minimum of 104 weeks.
Receives: Biological: alglucosidase alfa
Placebo/Alglucosidase AlfaExperimentalParticipants given placebo during the double-blind study, completed the double-blind study (study AGLU02704, NCT00158600), and qualified to continue into the extension study on alglucosidase alfa. Participants received an intravenous (IV) infusion of 20 mg/kg of alglucosidase alfa every other week (qow) for up to 52 weeks. Only the alglucosidase alfa treatment experience is included in this extension study.
Receives: Biological: alglucosidase alfa

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Summary of Participants Reporting Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events For Participants Treated With Alglucosidase Alfa During Study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600)

    The numbers of participants who experienced Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs), treatment-related AEs, and Infusion Associated Reactions (IARs). Summary is based on treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs), defined as AEs that occurred following the initiation of study treatment with alglucosidase alfa.

    Participants with long-term exposure to alglucosidase alfa (those from the Alglucosidase Alfa/Alglucosidase Alfa treatment group) are included. Time frames are stated from the start of the double-blind study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600).

    Measured: Week 0 to 2.5 years

  2. Baseline Values (Week 0) of Functional Endurance as Measured by Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) For Participants Treated With Alglucosidase Alfa During Study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600)

    Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) measures the distance walked (in meters) in 6 minutes. A longer distance indicates greater endurance. Time frames are stated from the start of the double-blind study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600).

    Measured: Week 0

  3. Change From Baseline (Week 0) in the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) at Week 104 For Participants Treated With Alglucosidase Alfa During Study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600)

    Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) measures the distance walked (in meters) in 6 minutes. A longer distance indicates greater endurance. Time frames are stated from the start of the double-blind study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600). Change is calculated as the value minus the baseline value.

    Measured: Week 0, Week 104

  4. Baseline Values (Week 0) for Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) For Participants Treated With Alglucosidase Alfa During Study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600)

    Forced vital capacity (FVC) is a standard pulmonary function test used to quantify respiratory muscle weakness. FVC is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out after full inspiration in the upright position, measured in liters. Predicted forced vital capacity is based on a formula using sex, age and height of a person, and is an estimate of healthy lung capacity. Percent of predicted FVC = (observed value)/(predicted value) * 100%. Time frames are stated from the start of the double-blind study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600).

    Measured: Week 0

  5. Change From Baseline (Week 0) in the Percent Predicted Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) at Week 104 For Participants Treated With Alglucosidase Alfa During Study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600)

    Forced vital capacity (FVC) is a standard pulmonary function test used to quantify respiratory muscle weakness. FVC is the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out after full inspiration in the upright position, measured in liters. Predicted forced vital capacity is based on a formula using sex, age and height of a person, and is an estimate of healthy lung capacity. Percent of predicted FVC = (observed value)/(predicted value) * 100%. Time frames are stated from the start of the double-blind study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600). Change is calculated as the value minus the baseline value.

    Measured: Week 0, Week 104

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Baseline Values (Week 0) for Percent Predicted Proximal Muscle Strength of the Lower Limbs as Measured by Quantitative Muscle Testing (QMT) For Participants Treated With Alglucosidase Alfa During Study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600)

    Quantitative muscle testing (QMT) is a standardized system to measure muscle force production during maximal voluntary isometric contraction. QMT data were collected directly from sensors into laptop computers. Predicted normal values for QMT are based on a formula using sex, age and body mass index of a person, and are an estimate of healthy muscle force. Percent of predicted QMT = (observed value)/(predicted value) * 100%. The QMT Leg Score is the average of the bilateral means for percent predicted knee flexors and extensors. A value of 100% indicates 'normal' muscle strength.

    Measured: Week 0

  2. Change From Baseline (Week 0) for Percent Predicted Proximal Muscle Strength of the Lower Limbs as Measured by Quantitative Muscle Testing (QMT) at Week 104 For Participants Treated With Alglucosidase Alfa During Study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600)

    Quantitative muscle testing (QMT) is a standardized system to measure muscle force production during maximal voluntary isometric contraction. QMT data were collected directly from sensors into laptop computers. Predicted normal values for QMT are based on a formula using sex, age and body mass index of a person, and are an estimate of healthy muscle force. Percent of predicted QMT = (observed value)/(predicted value) * 100%. The QMT Leg Score is the average of the bilateral means for percent predicted knee flexors and extensors. A value of 100% indicates 'normal' muscle strength.

    Measured: Week 0, Week 104

  3. Baseline Values (Week 0) for Quality of Life Related to Physical Component Score (PCS) as Measured by the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Short Form-36 Health Survey For Participants Treated With Alglucosidase Alfa During Study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600)

    The Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (MOS SF)-36 questionnaire consists of 36 items grouped into 8 domains designed to assess generic health-related quality of life in healthy and ill adult populations. Physical Component Score reports the four domains of physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, and general health and are standardized as Z-scores (scale of 0-100). Higher scores are associated with better quality of life. Time frames are stated from the start of the double-blind study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600).

    Measured: Week 0

  4. Change From Baseline in Quality of Life Related to Physical Component Score (PCS) as Measured by the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Short Form-36 Health Survey For Participants Treated With Alglucosidase Alfa During Study AGLU02704 (NCT00158600)
