Active clinical trials for "Fabry Disease"

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of Fabry mutations in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (moderate to severe), as measured by echocardiography.This study is a screening study

FD is pan-ethnic. Its reported annual incidence of 1 in 100,000 may underestimate the true prevalence of the disease. Indeed, recently, in addition with affected males FD developing a "classic" phenotype, " cardiac variant " and " renal variant " have been reported for FD patients with predominant or exclusive cardiac or renal involvement. " Neurologic variant " could exist. Nervous system can be affect by FD leading to cerebrovascular diseases (ischemic or haemorrhagic strokes, TIA (Transient Ischemic Attacks) or peripheral neuropathy (acroparesthesias and pain). Aims will be to determine the prevalence of Fabry disease in patients with stroke or small fiber neuropathy, and their characteristics

The purpose of this study was to assess the progression of cardiac involvement in adult patients with Fabry Disease (FD), in the unique Danish Fabry cohort and comparing those FD patients receiving primary therapy vs. those that did not. The hypothesis is, that we will not be able to see a significant positive difference in cardiac involvement in those FD patient who received FD specific therapy vs. those that did not.

Screening of Fabry disease in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis or transplant in west of France.

The study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Replagal® (agalsidase alfa) at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg infused intravenously (IV) over 40 minutes, every other week. The study will monitor the course of disease in males and females with Fabry disease who are naive to treatment or were previously treated with agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme®).

This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of Fabry Disease (FD) among a cohort of high risk patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) presenting at the University Hospital Würzburg over the last 20 years. Fabry disease is a rare disease that is known to be consistently underdiagnosed due to its largely variable symptoms. Considering that an early Fabry diagnosis is crucial for maximum benefit from therapies available, screening for Fabry patients can contribute to preventing development and worsening of symptoms in Fabry patients with LVH. In addition, a positive diagnosis in a family member opens the possibility to diagnose further family members in an earlier stage of the disease, therefore allowing treatment of symptoms and organ manifestations before they become irreversible.

The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of Fabry Disease in young stroke patients in an Israeli stroke clinic.

More than one million people in Europe suffer from a stroke every day. Normally older people have a stroke, but also a significant number of younger people between 18 and 55 years. Usually, these cannot be explained by the classical risk factors such as diabetes, overweight and high blood pressure. New studies indicate that in about 1 - 2 % of the younger stroke patients the cause could have been an undiagnosed genetic disease, the so called Fabry disease. The purpose of this study is to determine in a large number of young stroke patients, how many strokes were caused by Fabry Disease.

This study aims to evaluate whether platelets are biochemically and functionally altered in Fabry disease (FD) and therefore possibly implicated in FD manifestations such as cerebrovascular events. To test this hypothesis the investigators aim to compare platelet and plasma lipid profiles, as well as platelet function and coagulation parameters of FD patients and healthy controls.

Fabry disease screening study in patients diagnosed with gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disease, i.e. with the diagnosis of non-infectious inflammatory bowel disease, functional dyspepsia or irritable bowel syndrome in particular, is a project designed as a pilot study of Centre for Fabry disease, General University Hospital in Prague, and Clinical Centre ISCARE Prague, focused on improving the diagnosis and care of patients with Fabry disease in the Czech Republic. Fabry disease, (FD) is an X-linked inherited, rare, progressive disorder of glycosphingolipid metabolism affecting multiple organs resulting in organ dysfunction. The earlier diagnosis is made the earlier treatment is started the better outcome patients have. There are screening programs in cardiology, nephrology, neurology or ophtalmology fields. But not only cardiovascular, renal or eye symptoms are present. Very common are also GI symptoms in Fabry disease patient population. This is the first screening of FAbry disease in GI symptom patients.
