Pompe Disease |
Study aim:
The principal objective of the study is to find biomarkers that quantify the natural progression of the disease and to know if they are useful to determine the improvement or lack of impairment of the disease in response to Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT).
Study design:
A single center observational prospective study.
Patients:
Patients with adult onset POMPE disease (onset of symptoms after two years old) and molecular diagnosis confirming the disease are eligible
Methods:
Clinical information will be obtained according to a pre-defined protocol including six visits: screening visit, baseline, 6 month, 12 month, 24 month and 36 month.
In each visit we will perform the following tests: clinical assessment (including interview with patients, quality of live questionnaires, timed tests and assessment of muscle balance using a myometer), analytical tests (blood and urine tests), cardiac test (Electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac echography), respiratory assessment (using spirometer) and skeletal muscle imaging (Muscle MRI).
All data collect will be introduced in a database and afterwards statistically analyzed.
Expected results:
We expect to find a biomarker useful to follow-up the progression of Pompe disease. This biomarker has to be sensitive to the changes that muscle function may have after treatment with ERT.
Funding:
This project is funded by Genzyme, a Sanofi company

Pompe patients
Adult onset pompe patients being or not treated with enzyme therapy replacement
|
- Changes in muscle atrophy using muscle MRI in patients with adult onset Pompe disease [ Time Frame: baseline, 6 months, one year, two years and three years ]To know the natural progression of the disease regarding muscle atrophy measured using muscle MRI during a period of three years.
- Muscle strength [ Time Frame: baseline, 6 months, one year, two years and three years ]To study progression of muscle weakness using manual and informatic devices as myometry. We will compare clinical progression with Muscle MRI results.
- Micro RNA study [ Time Frame: baseline, 6 months, one year, two years and three years ]We will obtain blood samples of all the patients to study the microRNA profile and different time points
