The aim of this study is to assess if dosing frequency reduction of alglucosidase alfa 20 mg/kg once every 2 weeks to once every 4 weeks is safe and does not lead to increased progression of disease in a selected group of patients with late-onset Pompe disease.

Timeframe: Every 3 months for a duration of 21 months.
Changes in pulmonary function by testing forced vital capacity (FVC) in sitting and supine positions
Timeframe: At baseline and every 3 months for a duration of 21 months.
Changes in pulmonary function by testing maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and maximum expiratory pressure (MEP)
Timeframe: At baseline and every 3 months for a duration of 21 months.
Changes in patient reported outcome measures by filling in the Rasch-built Pompe-specific activity (R-PAct) scale
Timeframe: At baseline and every 3 months for a duration of 21 months.
Changes in patient reported outcome measures by filling in the SF-36 questionnaire
Timeframe: At baseline, after 9 months and at the end of the study (21 months).
Body weight
Timeframe: At baseline and every 3 months for a duration of 21 months.
Heart rate
Timeframe: At baseline and every 4 weeks at the start and at the end of the aglucosidase alfa infusion for a duration of 9 months. If alglucosidase alfa treatment is not stopped after 9 months, the measurement will take place for a total duration of 21 months.

Timeframe: At baseline and every 4 weeks at the start and at the end of the aglucosidase alfa infusion for a duration of 9 months. If alglucosidase alfa treatment is not stopped after 9 months, the measurement will take place for a total duration of 21 months.
Respiratory rate
Timeframe: At baseline and every 4 weeks at the start of the aglucosidase alfa infusion for a duration of 9 months. If alglucosidase alfa treatment is not stopped after 9 months, the measurement will take place for a total duration of 21 months.
