Immune Tolerance Induction Study
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Genzyme, April 2008
Sponsored by: Genzyme
Information provided by: Genzyme
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00701701
  Purpose

An exploratory, open-labeled study of patients with Pompe disease, who have previously received Myozyme treatment, to evaluate the efficacy, safety and clinical benefit of 2 ITI regimens in combination with Myozyme.


Condition Intervention Phase
Pompe Disease
Glycogen Storage Disease Type II (GSD II)
Glycogenesis 2 Acid Maltase Deficiency
Biological: Alglucosidase alfa
Phase IV

Genetics Home Reference related topics: Pompe disease
Drug Information available for: Cyclophosphamide Methotrexate Rituximab Alglucosidase Alfa
U.S. FDA Resources
Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment, Non-Randomized, Open Label, Parallel Assignment, Safety/Efficacy Study
Official Title: An Exploratory Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Immune Tolerance Induction (ITI) in Patients With Pompe Disease Who Have Previously Received Myozyme

Further study details as provided by Genzyme:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Evaluate the efficacy of ITI regimens [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Evaluate Pompe disease activity in patients receiving the 2 ITI regimens as measured by overall survival, respiratory function, LVMI, motor function and disability index. [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Evaluate the safety of the 2 ITI regimens [ Time Frame: 18 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 9
Study Start Date: June 2008
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date: October 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental
Regimen A
Biological: Alglucosidase alfa
Myozyme: IV infusion of 20 mg/kg qow; Cyclophosphamide: 250 mg/m2 IV every 4 wks after Myozyme infusion for 6 months
2: Experimental
Regimen B
Biological: Alglucosidase alfa
Myozyme: IV infusion of 20 mg/kg qow; Rituximab: 375 mg/m2 IV weekly beginning the day after MZ infusion for 4 weeks (an optional additional 2nd cycle may be administered at the discretion of the investigator); Methotrexate: 15mg/m2 subcutaneous every other week on the day after Myozyme infusion for 6 months

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The patient (and/or patient's legal guardian if patient is < 18years) must provide written informed consent prior to any study-related procedures that are performed;
  • The patient must have a confirmed diagnosis of Pompe disease defined as a documented acid α-glucosidase (GAA) enzyme deficiency from any tissue source or 2 GAA gene mutations;
  • The patient (and/or legal guardian) must have ability to comply with clinical protocol;
  • The patient has received Myozyme therapy (20mg/kg qow) for at least 6 months immediately prior to enrollment;
  • Regimen A only: The patient exhibits clinical decline; The patient has persistent high anti-rhGAA antibody titers and/or tested positive for antibodies that inhibit enzymatic activity and/or uptake of Myozyme;
  • Regimen B only: The patient is CRIM-negative AND The patient does not exhibit clinical decline; OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING: The patient is CRIM-negative AND The patient exhibits clinical decline AND The patient does NOT exhibit high anti-rhGAA antibody titers and has NOT tested positive for antibodies that inhibit enzymatic activity and/or uptake of Myozyme.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patient has a clinical condition unrelated to Pompe disease that would interfere with program assessments;
  • The patient is at risk of reactivation or is a carrier of Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C;
  • The patient is at risk of reactivation or has positive serology suggestive of active infection cytomegalovirus, Herpes simplex, JC virus, parvovirus and Epstein Barr virus;
  • The patient is at risk of reactivation of tuberculosis or has regular contact with individuals who are being actively treated for tuberculosis;
  • The patient has low serum albumin;
  • The patient has a major congenital abnormality;
  • The patient has used any investigational product (other than alglucosidase alfa) within 30 days prior to study enrollment;
  • The patient is pregnant or lactating;
  • The patient has had or is required to have any live vaccination within one month prior to enrollment.
