German Observational Multicenter Study of Patients With Fabry Disease Under Enzyme Replacement Therapy With Pegunigalsidase-alfa
Germany60 participantsStarted 2023-10-01
Plain-language summary
Pegunigalsidase-alfa may represent an advance in ERT for FD, based on its unique pharmacokinetics and apparent low immunogenicity. The objective of the study is to document long term data on treatment with pegunigalsidase-alfa under "real world" conditions. 60 patients with FD (therapy-naïve or pretreated with agalsidase-alfa or agalsidase-beta) will be recruited in 8 German Fabry centers. The treatment duration/patient will be 2 years. All patients will be followed-up by the above listed Fabry expert centers.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Males and females, ≥18 years, diagnosed with Fabry disease.
* ERT naïve (patients with signs of organ involvement (kidney, heart and/or CNS signs) to be considered for ERT following the European Consensus Guidelines on ERT (Biegstraaten et al. 2015) or patients with neuropathic pain not controlled with pain medication or patients with GI symptoms not relieved with standard medication or ERT switch patients (under ERT for ≥12 months).
* Subjects taking ACE inhibitors, ARBs, or renin inhibitors on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before screening.
* Subjects taking analgesics/antidepressants on a stable dose for at least 4 weeks before screening.
* Female patients must have a negative pregnancy test and use a medically accepted form of contraception throughout the study.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patient is unwilling to give informed consent.
* Patient is unable to comply with the clinical protocol.
* Patients on dialysis.
* Patient has a clinically significant organ disease (e.g., cancer in the past 5 years) that in the opinion of the investigator would preclude participation in the trial.

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.
