Trial summary

The objective of this study is to assess Elelyso treatment on bone disease in Gaucher patients currently treated with other enzyme replacement therapy. Experience from early access program (2009-2012) has suggested that some patients who have been stable on imiglucerase have shown poor scores of QCSI with Fat Fraction… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Investigator Initiated Clinical Trial to Asses Impact of Elelyso on Bone Involvement in Patients With Gaucher Disease Currently Treated With Other ERTs

The objective of this study is to assess Elelyso treatment on bone disease in Gaucher patients currently treated with other enzyme replacement therapy.

Experience from early access program (2009-2012) has suggested that some patients who have been stable on imiglucerase have shown poor scores of QCSI with Fat Fraction below the cut off point of 0.23 which is considered "bone at risk", and have demonstrated remarkable improvement upon switching to Elelyso, including particularly 2 patients who did not have any change in dose or any drug interruption prior to the switch.

These findings may be explained by the better glycan structure of imiglucerase (see Tekoah et al, 2013). The fact that in many patients prevention of bony complications is the main indication for ERT highlights the importance of this study, as all clinical trials of all ERTS heretofore did not include the bones as primary or secondary end-points but only as exploratory, and as such had only limited value,

Read the detailed description

Open-label study in patients with Gaucher disease currently treated with commercial ERTs. Eligible patients will receive intravenous (IV) infusions of Elelyso every two weeks. The infusions will be administered at the selected medical center or in the home care setup. The dose of Elelyso will be the same dose of the other ERTs . Bone parameters QCSI and BMD will be assessed at baseline, 12 months and 24 months.

The intention is to open 3 more sites in Israel thereby making this IIR a multi center national trial

Receives: Procedure: quantitative chemical shift imaging (QCSI); Drug: Elelyso

What is being measured

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

  1. QCSI results at 12 months, Fat fraction under 0.3.

    Improvement of QCSI results in patients with Gaucher disease currently treated with commercial ERTs. Eligible patients will receive intravenous (IV) infusions of Elelyso every two weeks. The infusions will be administered at the selected medical center or in the home care setup. The dose of Elelyso will be the same dose of the other ERTs . Bone parameters QCSI and BMD will be assessed at 12 months.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. QCSI results at 24 months, Fat fraction under 0.3.

    Improvement of QCSI results in patients with Gaucher disease currently treated with commercial ERTs. Eligible patients will receive intravenous (IV) infusions of Elelyso every two weeks. The infusions will be administered at the selected medical center or in the home care setup. The dose of Elelyso will be the same dose of the other ERTs . Bone parameters QCSI and BMD will be assessed at 24 months.

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing quantitative chemical shift imaging (QCSI) and Elelyso in people with Gaucher Disease, Type 1, run by Shaare Zedek Medical Center.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 28 Oct 2022. 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 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?

QCSI results at 12 months, Fat fraction under 0.3. (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04353466, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 28 Oct 2022.
