About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multicenter, Multinational Extension Study of the Long-term Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Repeated Biweekly Infusions of Avalglucosidase Alfa (neoGAA, GZ402666) in Patients With Pompe Disease

Primary Objective:

Long-term safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of avalglucosidase alfa

Secondary Objective:

Long-term effect of avalglucosidase alfa on pharmacodynamic variables

Read the detailed description

The planned duration of the study for each participant was initially 6 years. Each participant continued with the study until the participant withdrew, the Investigator withdrew the participant, or the Sponsor terminated the study. An additional follow-up phase began after the participant has completed the 6-year study period, and lasted until avalglucosidase alfa was approved in the participant's country, except in the United Kingdom (UK), Germany and Denmark, where the duration of the additional follow-up phase was up to the approval in the country or limited to a maximum of 2 years, whichever occurred first (ie, for participants in the UK, Germany and Denmark, the total study duration per participant was 8 years at the maximum including the initial 6-year period and the additional 2-year follow-up).

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Treatment-Emergent Serious Adverse Events (TESAEs), Infusion Associated Reactions (IARs) and Deaths

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An serious AE (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that results: death or life-threatening or inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization or persistent or significant disability or congenital anomaly or medically important event. TEAEs are defined as AEs that develop or worsen during the on-treatment period (that is, from the time of first dose of IMP up to 4 weeks after the last administration of the IMP). Protocol-defined IARs were defined as AEs that occur during either the infusion or the post-infusion observation period (that is, up to 2 hours or longer following the infusion as per the Investigator's discretion) which were deemed to be related or possibly related to the IMP.

    Measured: From first dose of IMP up to 4 weeks after the last treatment administration of the IMP, a maximum up to 458 weeks

  2. Number of Participants With Clinically Significant Physical Examination Abnormalities

  16. Time Corresponding to the Last Concentration (Tlast) of Avalglucosidase Alfa

    Tlast was defined as time corresponding to the last concentration above the limit of quantification, Clast. The non-compartmental PK analysis was performed.

    Measured: Predose (prior to infusion), end of the infusion and at 1, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose on Week 312

  17. Terminal Half-Life (t1/2z) of Avalglucosidase Alfa

    t1/2z was calculated according to the following equation: t1/2z = 0.693/λz. Where, λz is the slope of the regression line of the terminal phase of the plasma concentration versus time curve. Half-life was calculated by taking the regression of at least 3 points. The non-compartmental PK analysis was performed.

    Measured: Predose (prior to infusion), end of the infusion and at 1, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours post-dose on Week 312

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Change From Baseline in Cross-Sectional Area (CSA) of Skeletal Muscle Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Up to Week 442

    Skeletal muscle MRI performed prior to the muscle needle or open biopsy procedure using both qualitative (T1) and quantitative (T2, dixon) modalities to assess disease severity and detect treatment effects. The T1 weighted axial data was analyzed using the mercuri scale, which determines degree of intact muscle and fatty replacement, providing a qualitative measure of overall disease severity. Trophicity changes were evaluated for 5 muscle groups, including the upper leg muscles (quadriceps, hamstring) and the lower leg muscles (triceps, extensors, fibularis). The measured area of each muscle group, CSA was provided.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 104 and 442

  2. Change From Baseline in Dixon Fat Fraction of Skeletal Muscle Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Up to Week 442

    Skeletal muscle MRI performed prior to the muscle needle or open biopsy procedure using both qualitative (T1) and quantitative (T2, dixon) modalities to assess disease severity and detect treatment effects. The T1 weighted axial data was analyzed using the mercuri scale, which determines degree of intact muscle and fatty replacement, providing a qualitative measure of overall disease severity. Trophicity changes were evaluated for 5 muscle groups, including the upper leg muscles (quadriceps, hamstring) and the lower leg muscles (triceps, extensors, fibularis). Three-point dixon imaging provided quantification of fat content in muscles [fat fraction (FF)].

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 104 and 442

  3. Change From Baseline in Index of Real Muscle Mass (IRMM) of Skeletal Muscle Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Up to Week 442

    Skeletal muscle MRI performed prior to the muscle needle or open biopsy procedure using both qualitative (T1) and quantitative (T2, dixon) modalities to assess disease severity and detect treatment effects. The T1 weighted axial data was analyzed using the mercuri scale, which determines degree of intact muscle and fatty replacement, providing a qualitative measure of overall disease severity. Trophicity changes were evaluated for 5 muscle groups, including the upper leg muscles (quadriceps, hamstring) and the lower leg muscles (triceps, extensors, fibularis). The FF was combined with the CSA measurements trophicity to provide an IRMM in mm^2 (that is, IRMM = CSA x [1 - FF]). A negative change from baseline value in IRMM of skeletal muscle MRI indicates muscle loss (worse outcome) and a positive change from baseline value indicates muscle gain (better outcome).

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 104 and 442

  4. Change From Baseline in T2 of Skeletal Muscle Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Up to Week 442

    Skeletal muscle MRI performed prior to the muscle needle or open biopsy procedure using both qualitative (T1) and quantitative (T2, dixon) modalities to assess disease severity and detect treatment effects. The T1 weighted axial data was analyzed using the mercuri scale, which determines degree of intact muscle and fatty replacement, providing a qualitative measure of overall disease severity. Trophicity changes were evaluated for 5 muscle groups, including the upper leg muscles (quadriceps, hamstring) and the lower leg muscles (triceps, extensors, fibularis). The T2 multi-slice multi-spin echo and B1 mapping provided a quantitative measure of disease activity (edema, inflammation) within muscles.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 104 and 442

  5. Change From Baseline in T2 With B1 of Skeletal Muscle Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Up to Week 442

    Skeletal muscle MRI performed prior to the muscle needle or open biopsy procedure using both qualitative (T1) and quantitative (T2, dixon) modalities to assess disease severity and detect treatment effects. The T1 weighted axial data was analyzed using the mercuri scale, which determines degree of intact muscle and fatty replacement, providing a qualitative measure of overall disease severity. Trophicity changes were evaluated for 5 muscle groups, including the upper leg muscles (quadriceps, hamstring) and the lower leg muscles (triceps, extensors, fibularis). The T2 multi-slice multi-spin echo and B1 mapping provided a quantitative measure of disease activity (edema, inflammation) within muscles.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 104 and 442

  6. Change From Baseline in Skeletal Muscle Biopsy Up to Week 312

    Skeletal muscle needle or open biopsy was performed on the lower extremity (quadriceps) muscle to assess glycogen content. The MRI appearance of the muscle was used to determine the level (axial slice position) that the biopsy procedure should target (avoiding fatty replaced tissue). Glycogen content was measured by histomorphometric analysis or severity grading to determine how effectively avalglucosidase alfa was able to remove glycogen from muscle.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 27, 104, 208, 260 and 312

  7. Change From Baseline in Urinary Glucose Tetrasaccharide (Hex4) Level Up to Week 442

    The Hex4, a tetraglucose oligomer, has been shown to be elevated in the urine of participants with Pompe disease. Hence, determination of Hex4 levels may be a means by which the efficacy of treatments were monitored. Urine samples were collected prior to IMP infusion for the assessment of urinary Hex4 concentrations.

    Measured: Baseline (Day 1) and Weeks 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 52, 78, 104, 130, 156, 182, 208, 234, 260, 286, 312, 338, 364, 390, 416 and 442
