Albuterol is a drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating breathing problems such as asthma. Studies have shown that albuterol may be beneficial in improving muscle function in people with late-onset Pompe disease. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether albuterol is safe and effective for improving muscle function in people with late-onset Pompe disease, whether or not they are receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). For this study, albuterol is considered an investigational drug. The word "investigational" means albuterol is not approved by the FDA for individuals with late-onset Pompe disease.
