Inclusion criteria :
* The participant were 2 to \<18 years old at the time of informed consent.
* Male and female participants with a clinical diagnosis of Gaucher disease (GD) type 1 or type 3 with documented deficiency of acid beta-glucosidase activity by enzyme assay and glucocerebrosidase (GBA) genotype.
* Postmenarchal female participants had a documented negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment and throughout the study. Participants had to be willing to practice true abstinence in line with their preferred and usual lifestyle, or used a medically accepted form of contraception throughout the study.
Cohort 1 (Eliglustat monotherapy):
* Participants must had been receiving an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for a minimum of 24 months at a monthly dose equivalent to 30 U/kg to 130 U/kg of Cerezyme® (imiglucerase) with treatment ongoing at the time of enrollment. Participants had to be at pre-specified treatment goals, as defined by:
* Hemoglobin level for ages 2 to \<12 years: ≥11.0 g/dL; for ages 12 to \<18 years: ≥11.0 g/dL for females and ≥12.0 g/dL for males;
* Platelet count ≥100,000/mm3;
* Spleen volume \<10.0 multiples of normal (MN);
* Liver volume \<1.5 MN;
* Absence of GD related pulmonary disease, and severe bone disease, as defined below for Cohort 2.
Cohort 2 (Eliglustat plus imiglucerase):
* Participants must had been receiving an ERT for a minimum of 36 months at a dose equivalent to at least 60 U/kg of imiglucerase every 2 weeks, or at …
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?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
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.
