What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Clinically Significant Progression of Cardiac Disease, Cerebrovascular Disease, and/or Death Among Fabry Patients With Severe Kidney Disease

    The trial was terminated early due to inadequate study design. During the study period of 7 months, only 1 patient had a clinical event, a stroke, in the Fabrazyme 1 mg/kg treatment arm. The time to event was determined from first dose of Fabrazyme to the date of event.

    Measured: 7 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Plasma Globotriaosylceramide (GL-3)

    This outcome measure evaluated the mean plasma GL-3 values for all patients to see if it decreased while on Fabrazyme. Normal plasma GL-3 level is defined as ≤ 7.03 µg/mL.

    Measured: Evaluated at Baseline, Month 3, and Final Visit

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) in people with Fabry Disease and Chronic Kidney Disease, Stage IV (Severe), run by Genzyme, a Sanofi Company at 9 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 6 inclusion and 6 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 7 Apr 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 5 Feb 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Time to Clinically Significant Progression of Cardiac Disease, Cerebrovascular Disease, and/or Death Among Fabry Patients With Severe Kidney Disease (time frame: 7 months). 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 7 Apr 2015.
