Active clinical trials for "Gaucher Disease"

Primary Objective: To compare the pharmacokinetics of Abcertin to the reference product, EU-sourced Cerezyme, after single intravenous administration of 60 IU/kg. Secondary Objective: To compare the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of Abcertin to the reference formulation, EU-sourced Cerezyme, after single intravenous administration of 60 IU/kg.

During the past two years, the investigator has performed succsefully an IIR wherein patients with GD, previously treated with velaglucerase alfa ERT were gradually switched to a 10 minutes (rapid) administration of the same ERT. The success was expressed as safety (no clinically meaningful AEs, no antibodies detected, home therapy), efficacy ("lack of deterioration") and patients' satisfaction. The latter was based not just on specific questionnaires and analog scales, but particularly by the patients' sharing the experience with other patients and consequently repeated requests by many to switch to a rapid administration of their ERT. Therefore, the investigator is hereby proposing to investigate the safety and efficacy of a 10 minutes administration of velaglucerase alfa in a cohort of treatment-naive patients. The current VPRIV label is restricted to a dosage of 60 units/kg body weight every other week (60 units/kg EOW) - this dose will be used throughout the study period. The enzyme will be provided by Shire, which will also provide a research grant for the conduction of the trial.

The current work aims to detect the frequency and types of neurological disorders in patient diagnosed as Gaucher disease in Assiut University Children's Hospital

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ISU302 in patients with Type 1 Gaucher disease.

A protocol to extend the assessment of the safety and efficacy of taliglucerase alfa in pediatric subjects (2 to <18 years old) with symptoms and clinical manifestations of Gaucher disease who completed treatment in Protocols PB-06-002 (switchover study from imiglucerase) or PB-06-005 (naïve treatment with taliglucerase alfa).

OBJECTIVES: I. Transfer the human glucocerebrosidase (GC) gene into peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) obtained from patients with type I Gaucher disease using a retroviral vector. II. Transplant the autologous transduced PBSC in these patients. III. Measure the carriage and expression of the transferred gene and its duration in peripheral blood leukocytes. IV. Assess the clinical effects of transplanting genetically corrected PBSC.

Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCB). Due to the deficiency of functional GCB, glucocerebroside accumulates within macrophages leading to cellular engorgement, organomegaly, and organ system dysfunction. The purpose of this non-inferiority study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of GA-GCB (velaglucerase alfa) administered every other week in comparison to imiglucerase in treatment naive patients with type 1 Gaucher disease.

This study was conducted to test the safety and tolerability of afegostat tartrate in participants with type 1 Gaucher disease already receiving enzyme replacement therapy.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of every other week dosing of GA-GCB (velaglucerase alfa) in participants with type 1 Gaucher disease who were previously treated with imiglucerase.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and engraftment of donor hematopoietic cells using this conditioning regimen in patients undergoing a hematopoietic (blood forming) cell transplant for an inherited metabolic storage disease.
