Scientific titleTreatment of Fabry patients greater than 18 years with enzyme supplementation therapy: comparison of efficacy and toxicity of low dose (0.2 mg/kg) Fabrazyme® (agalsidase beta) or Replagal® (agalsidase alfa)
Study objectivesEvaluation of efficacy and safety of two different formulas of alfa-Galactosidase A, agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme®) and agalsidase alpha (Replagal®) in an equal dose of 0.2 mg/kg in order to detect any differences between these two drugs.
Ethics approval(s)Received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedFabry disease
InterventionPatients will receive 0.2 mg/kg Fabrazyme® (agalsidase beta) or 0.2 mg/kg Replagal®(agalsidase alpha), every two weeks for a minumum of 12 months. If there is treatment failure (progression of renal disease, cardiac disease and/or a new cerebral stroke or TIA) during or after this period, patients will be advised to switch to Fabrazyme 1.0 mg/kg/2 weeks.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme®), agalsidase alpha (Replagal®)
Primary outcome measureWall-thickness (septum and left and right ventricle wall)/end-diastolic volume) on echocardiography.
Secondary outcome measures1. Improvement of renal function as measured by GFR
2. Reduction of glycolipid accumulation in skin tissue (LM and biochemistry)
3. Reduction in pain as measured by the BPI
4. Reduction in glycosphingolipid in plasma and 24-hr urine
5. Quality of life scores (36-item Short Form Health Survey [SF-36])
