Owing to the rarity, severity, speed of progression and fatal prognosis of infantile and juvenile GM1, there is a limited understanding of overall disease progression and meaningful outcome measures. This study aims to build a natural history data set through collection of a number of clinical, imaging, and laboratory assessments that may be specific predictors of GM1 disease progression and clinical outcome. Having a GM1 natural history data set can inform potential efficacy endpoints and biomarkers for future clinical trials.
This natural history study will follow up to 40 subjects diagnosed with GM1 gangliosidosis (up to 20 infantile (Type 1) and 20 late infantile/juvenile (Type 2)) for up to 3 years. Visits will be conducted every 6 months, during which several procedures will be performed and the data recorded in order to learn about the natural course of the disease, including changes in clinical and neurological assessments and electrophysiologic, imaging and biofluid biomarkers. Study procedures include: physical & neurological exam, blood & urine sample collection, questionnaires & assessments of development, seizure diary, ECHO, ECG, x-ray and ultrasound (if MRI not performed), EEG and genetic testing (if not already done).
The following procedures are subject to local/institutional policies and the medical discretion of the Study Physician: MRI, lumbar puncture (spinal tap) and General anesthesia/sedation (for MRI and LP).

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infantile (Type 1) or Juvenile (Type 2) GM1 Gangliosidosis | This study observes one cohort: up to 40 Infantile GM1 (Type 1) or Juvenile GM1 (Type 2) subjects. |
Not provided
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Survival (Infantile GM1 population) | Survival will be evaluated at the baseline visit and each subsequent visit for 3 years. This outcome measure is considered a primary outcome measure for the infantile (Type 1) GM1 population and a secondary outcome measure for the juvenile (Type 2) GM1 population. | Baseline through 36 months (3 years) |
| Presence of and dependence on feeding tube (Infantile GM1 population) | The presence of a feeding tube and dependence on the feeding tube, if applicable, will be evaluated at the baseline visit and each subsequent visit for 3 years. This outcome measure is considered a primary outcome measure for the infantile (Type 1) GM1 population and a secondary outcome measure for the juvenile (Type 2) GM1 population. | Baseline through 36 months (3 years) |
| Change from baseline in standard scores for each domain on the Vineland-II (Juvenile GM1 population) | The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, Second Edition (Vineland-II) is a standard assessment for measuring personal and social skills for children and adults (birth through 90 years of age). This assessment aids in diagnosis of intellectual and developmental disabilities or delays associated with a variety of diseases/disorders. The assessment includes 5 domains. Scores for each domain and a composite adaptive behavior score are then converted to standard scores with a range of 20 to 140, with a score of 140 correlating to a high adaptive level. | Baseline through 36 months (3 years) |
| Change from baseline in total score for each sub-domain of the BSID-III OR the KABC-II (Juvenile GM1 population) | Based on the outcome of the Vineland-II, each subject will be given a developmental age score that will determine whether the Bayley Scale of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (BSID-III) or the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (KABC-II) is administered. Children with a developmental age of 42 months or less will be administered the BSID-III and those with a developmental age of greater than 42 months will be administered the KABC-II. The BSID-III assesses 5 major areas of development. Each domain results in a raw score that is converted to a composite score. A higher composite score generally corresponds with higher function. The KABC-II assesses 4 major areas of intelligence and achievement in young children. Each domain results in a raw score that is converted to a standard score. Scores from 90-109 are generally considered average, with scores higher than 109 considered to be above average. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Survival (Juvenile GM1 population) | Survival will be evaluated at the baseline visit and each subsequent visit for 3 years. This outcome measure is considered a primary outcome measure for the infantile (Type 1) GM1 population and a secondary outcome measure for the juvenile (Type 2) GM1 population. | Baseline through 36 months (3 years) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Exploratory analysis of beta-galactosidase enzyme activity and change over time | Blood and, if consent is given, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)* will be collected at the baseline visit and each subsequent visit to analyze beta-galactosidase enzyme activity. The aim is to examine enzyme activity variability, change from baseline and relationship to disease progression. As this biomarker are currently under study, ranges cannot be provided at this time. Additional samples may also be stored at a biobank for future research and testing, if consent is obtained. *Collection of CSF via a lumbar puncture is an OPTIONAL procedure conducted only at Baseline and Months 6, 12, 24 and 36. |

The protocol includes the collection and biobank storage of several biofluid samples for future research. The samples include plasma/serum, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF; optional) and urine.
| Baseline through 36 months (3 years) |
| Presence of and dependence on feeding tube (Juvenile GM1 population) |
The presence of a feeding tube and dependence on the feeding tube, if applicable, will be evaluated at the baseline visit and each subsequent visit for 3 years. This outcome measure is considered a primary outcome measure for the infantile (Type 1) GM1 population and a secondary outcome measure for the juvenile (Type 2) GM1 population. |
| Baseline through 36 months (3 years) |
| Change from baseline in total score for each sub-domain of the BSID-III OR the KABC-II (Infantile GM1 population) | See these outcome measures described above for full details.
