  Limitations and Caveats
  Hide Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
All 6 enrolled patients received previous long-term treatment with the enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), imiglucerase. Key therapeutic parameters were expected to indicate stability after switching from imiglucerase.
