The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, clinical benefits and safety of a prophylactic immunomodulatory regimen given prior to first treatment with alglucosidase alfa (Myozyme®) in patients with infantile-onset Pompe disease. The objectives were to assess the efficacy of a prophylactic immunomodulatory regimen given prior to first treatment with alglucosidase alfa, as assessed by anti-recombinant human acid alpha-glucosidase (anti-rhGAA) antibody titers, and antibodies that inhibit the activity and/or uptake of alglucosidase alfa; to evaluate the clinical benefit as measured by overall survival, ventilator-free survival, left ventricular mass index (LVMI), gross motor function and development, disability index and the incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and clinical laboratory abnormalities.
