A Pilot Study of Zavesca® in Patients With Pompe Disease and Infusion Associated Reaction

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2018-07-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Hypothesis: the effectiveness of treatment of Pompe disease with rhGAA enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is limited at least in part because patients develop antibodies against the provided rhGAA enzyme. Treatment with Zavesca® prior to infusion may dampen or eliminate the anti-rhGAA immune response in patients receiving ERT, thereby allowing for greater ERT efficacy.

Treatment with Zavesca® before a enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) may decrease the severity of, or eliminate infusion associated reactions (IAR) in people with Pompe Disease receiving ERT.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: University of Florida
• Collaborator: Amicus Therapeutics
• Treatments: 1-Deoxynojirimycin; Miglustat

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects will be patients between the ages of 18 years and 65 years who have been diagnosed with Pompe Disease, confirmed by mutational analysis and/or GAA enzyme activity assay.

• Willingness of local medical treatment provider to continue treating study participant with addition of Zavesca® to treatment plan.

• Willingness of study participant to modify dietary intake on day of infusion *All Subjects will continue enzyme replacement therapy as standard of care, as prescribed by local medical treatment provider during the course of the Study.
