A Multicenter Extension Study of Taliglucerase Alfa in Pediatric Subjects With Gaucher Disease - Full Text View

Purpose

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).

Primary Outcome Measures:

Hemoglobin [ Time Frame: Baseline, months 9, 12 and 24 ]
Median and interquartile range. Baseline is the value obtained from the parent study: PB-06-005 for 30 and 60 Units/kg arms and PB-06-002 from Switchover arm.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Chitotriosidase [ Time Frame: Baseline, months 9, 12 and 24 ]
Chitotriosidase. Baseline is the value obtained from the parent study: PB-06-005 for 30 and 60 Units/kg arms and PB-06-002 from Switchover arm.
Spleen Volume [ Time Frame: Baseline, months 12 and 24 ]
Spleen volume measured by MRI (or ultrasound). Baseline is the value obtained from the parent study: PB-06-005 for 30 and 60 Units/kg arms and PB-06-002 from Switchover arm.
Platelet Count [ Time Frame: Baseline, months 9, 12, 24 and 33-36 ]
Platelet count. Baseline is the value obtained from the parent study: PB-06-005 for 30 and 60 Units/kg arms and PB-06-002 from Switchover arm.
Liver Volume [ Time Frame: Baseline, months 12 and 24 ]
Liver volume by MRI or Ultrasound. Baseline is the value obtained from the parent study: PB-06-005 for 30 and 60 Units/kg arms and PB-06-002 from Switchover arm.
