Active clinical trials for "Gaucher Disease"

A screening study to identify and characterize the disease status of patients with Gaucher Type 1 disease for potential inclusion in a subsequent phase 3 clinical study.

Development of a new mass spectrometry-based biomarker for the early and sensitive diagnosis of Gaucher Disease from blood (plasma)

International, multicenter, epidemiological study to demonstrate the correlation and predictive value of lyso-Gb1 concentration with the clinical severity of naïve, initially non-ERT/SRT Gaucher disease type 1 and during the study ERT/SRT-newly started Gaucher type 1 patients and to correlate lyso-Gb1 concentration with the clinical improvement of ERT or SRT treated Gaucher type 1 and the clinical course of non-treated patients based on GD-DS3

Partners HealthCare maintains a Patient Data Registry (PDR) with information from all patient encounters at Partners HealthCare facilities. We intend to utilize the PDR to identify groups of patient who are of high clinical suspicion for undiagnosed Gaucher disease. A group of potential participants will be identified through the PDR. Detailed records will be requested to further narrow to ideal participants based upon previously existing diagnoses and symptoms. Participants will be invited to partake in the study via a letter from their Partners care provider with supporting study details. Study participants will be evaluated in a one-time visit. A complete family and medical history will be collected. A physical exam will be performed, and up to 20cc of blood will be drawn. All participants will be notified of their disease status via letter and phone call from the study staff. If the study participant is diagnosed with GD through this evaluation, proper follow-up recommendations and referrals will be provided. Our intent is to determine if existing patient data can successfully be utilized to aid in the identification of patients with rare genetic disease.

This study with standardized reading MRIs, will provide for the first time objective and quantified data on organomegaly (liver and spleen volumes) as well as bone alteration (Bone Marrow Burden11) of French patients treated with VPRIV®. These data will help to better assess the impact of this treatment on these parameters. The result of this study will also answer in part to the request of the French Transparency Commission (CT: Commission de Transparence) of the French National Health Authority to provide them with data of French patients treated with VPRIV®.

Gaucher disease is a most common genetic metabolic disease characterized by low platelet number, liver and spleen enlargement and various forms of bone diseases including low bone mineral density leading to brittle bones. Various treatment options are now available for this disease. The purpose of this research study is to determine the prevalence of Gaucher disease in patients with low bone mineral density as observed by DEXA scan, which is a form of X-Ray of the bone.

This is an open-label expanded access trial of prGCD in patients with Gaucher disease who require enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and who have been treated with imiglucerase but for whom the dose has been reduced or discontinued due to shortage of the product.

The purpose of this study is to learn more about Gaucher disease. The information we collect from medical histories and a blood sample from people with Gaucher disease may help us pinpoint certain things that are different between people who have Gaucher disease and people who do not have Gaucher disease. This information may be useful in the future to help find new treatments for Gaucher disease.

Primary Objective: To estimate the prevalence of Gaucher disease and of other etiologies, in patients of 15 years old or more presenting with unexplained splenomegaly after exclusion of first intention-diagnoses (e.g. portal hypertension, diagnosis or suspicion of haematological malignancy, haemolytic anemia) based on basic physical and biological exams (e.g. full blood count, liver enzymes, reticulocytes) Secondary Objective: To describe the exams and tests conducted for diagnosis purpose and the more frequent associations

This study is being conducted to better understand the natural course of GM1 gangliosidosis, GM2 gangliosidoses and Gaucher disease Type 2 (GD2). Information is planned to be gathered on at least 180 patients with GM1 gangliosidosis, GM2 gangliosidoses, and Gaucher Disease type 2. Retrospective data collection is planned for at least 150 deceased patients (Group A). Group B is for patients alive at the time of enrollment. In Group B it is planned to prospectively collect more comprehensive data from at least 30 patients. The purpose of this study is to collect relevant information for a adequate design of a potential subsequent research program in these diseases. In this study no therapy is being offered.
