Growth and Development Study of Alglucosidase Alfa

United States12 participantsStarted 2008-08-26

Plain-language summary

Pompe disease (also known as glycogen storage disease Type II) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic muscle disease caused by the deficiency of acid α glucosidase (GAA), an enzyme that degrades lysosomal glycogen. As opposed to the exclusively cytoplasmic accumulation of glycogen that occurs in other glycogen storage disorders, Pompe disease is characterized by organelle bound (lysosomal) and extra-lysosomal accumulation of glycogen in many body tissues, ultimately leading to multisystemic pathology. The overall objective of this study was to evaluate the long-term growth and development of participants with infantile-onset Pompe disease with alglucosidase alfa before 1 year of age. Participants were to be followed for a 10-year period.

Inclusion Criteria: * The participant or participant's legal guardian must have provided signed, informed consent prior to performing any study-related procedures. * The participant must have had a confirmed diagnosis of Pompe disease as determined by deficient endogenous GAA activity or GAA mutation analysis. * The participant must be less than (\<) 1 year of age at time of study enrollment (and received alglucosidase alfa treatment before 1 year of age), or the participant must be between 1 year and 24 months of age and must have had initiated alglucosidase alfa treatment prior to turning 1 year of age. Exclusion Criteria: * The participant was participating in another clinical study using alglucosidase alfa or any investigational therapy.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
