An Open-Label Clinical Trial of Replagal® Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Children With Fabry Disease Who Are Naive to Enzyme Replacement Therapy
An Open-Label Clinical Trial of Replagal® Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Children With Fabry Disease Who Are Naive to Enzyme Replacement Therapy
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety of Replagal in children with Fabry disease who who have not previously been treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).
In 2008, a change in the agalsidase alfa drug substance manufacturing process was made. There are no changes to the drug product formulation, manufacturing site, manufacturing process, or container closure.
An agalsidase alfa bioreactor manufacturing process (agalAF1) utilizing animal component-free media replaced the previous roller bottle (RB) process.
This study will evaluate the safety of Replagal AF, manufactured using the new bioreactor process at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg infused IV over 40 minutes, every other week (EOW) in children with Fabry disease who are 7 years to less than 18 years of age and who are naive to ERT.
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients must meet all of the following criteria to be enrolled in this study.
All patients must be diagnosed with Fabry disease by the following criteria:
Note: If the diagnosis of Fabry disease is previously documented in the patient's medical record, screening tests do not need to be repeated.
The patient is 7 to <18 years of age
The patient is ERT-naïve
Adequate general health (as determined by the Investigators) to undergo the specified phlebotomy regimen and protocol-related procedures and no safety or medical contraindications for participation
The minor child must assent to participate in the protocol and the parent(s) or legally authorized representative(s) must have voluntarily signed an Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee (IRB/IEC) approved informed consent form after all relevant aspects of the study have been explained and discussed with the child and the child's parent(s) or legally authorized representative(s)
Exclusion Criteria:
Patients who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study.
