Active clinical trials for "Gaucher Disease"

This study evaluated the long-term safety and efficacy of afegostat tartrate in participants with Gaucher disease who were enrolled in a previous Phase 2 study of afegostat tartrate.

Gaucher disease, the most prevalent lysosomal storage disorder, is caused by mutations in the human glucocerebrosidase gene (GCD) leading to reduced activity of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase and thereby to the accumulation of substrate glucocerebroside (GlcCer) in the cells of the monocyte-macrophage system. This is an extension trial to Study NCT00376168 and NCT00712348.

This Phase 3 study was designed to confirm the efficacy and safety of eliglustat tartrate (Genz-112638) in participants with Gaucher disease Type 1.

Primary Objective: To study the effect of mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of eliglustat. Secondary Objective: To assess the tolerability of eliglustat tartrate given as a single dose in subjects with mild, moderate, and severe renal impairment in comparison with matched subjects with normal renal function.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety of human placental-derived stem cells (HPDSC) given in conjunction with umbilical cord blood (UCB) stem cells in patients with various malignant or nonmalignant disorders who require a stem cell transplant. Patients will get either full dose (high-intensity) or lower dose (low intensity) chemo- and immunotherapy followed by a stem cell transplantation with UCB and HPDSC.

Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCB). Gaucher disease has been classified into 3 clinical subtypes based on the presence or absence of neurological symptoms and the severity of these neurological symptoms. Patients with type 2 Gaucher disease present with acute neurological deterioration, and those with type 3 disease typically display a more sub acute neurological course. Type 1 Gaucher disease, the most common form accounting for more than 90% of all Gaucher disease cases, does not involve the central nervous system. The purpose of this clinical research study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of velaglucerase alfa in patients with type 3 Gaucher disease.

Primary Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the palatability of eliglustat prototype liquid formulations in healthy subjects.

An open-labeled, prospective, single-center proof-of-concept study. Patients with Gaucher Disease aged 18-75 who received intravenous Enzyme Replacement Therapy once every two weeks were enrolled. The study utilized the Altus Care™ cellular phone-based application, which integrated an algorithm-based approach to provide random dosing regimens within a pre-defined range determined by the physician. The app allowed personalized therapeutic regimens with variations in dosages and administration times.

The objective of this study is to assess Elelyso treatment on bone disease in Gaucher patients currently treated with other enzyme replacement therapy. Experience from early access program (2009-2012) has suggested that some patients who have been stable on imiglucerase have shown poor scores of QCSI with Fat Fraction below the cut off point of 0.23 which is considered "bone at risk", and have demonstrated remarkable improvement upon switching to Elelyso, including particularly 2 patients who did not have any change in dose or any drug interruption prior to the switch. These findings may be explained by the better glycan structure of imiglucerase (see Tekoah et al, 2013). The fact that in many patients prevention of bony complications is the main indication for ERT highlights the importance of this study, as all clinical trials of all ERTS heretofore did not include the bones as primary or secondary end-points but only as exploratory, and as such had only limited value,

The study aims to investigate the transcriptomic and metabolomic changes in blood, plasma and isolated monocytes from Gaucher patients and healthy controls.
