Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety Study of Velaglucerase Alfa in Children and Adolescents With Type 3 Gaucher Disease (NCT NCT01685216)

NCT ID: NCT01685216

Last Updated: 2021-06-11

Results Overview

Hemoglobin concentration was measured as part of the hematology panel or measured separately when the hematology panel was not scheduled. Samples were measured by a central laboratory. Baseline is the modified baseline hemoglobin concentration, the average of the values from screening, baseline, and Week 1/Day 1. A positive change from baseline indicates that hemoglobin concentration increased.

Population: The Intent-to-Treat population, defined as all participants who received at least 1 study drug infusion (full or partial).

Quantitative abdominal MRI was used to measure liver volume. If sedation was necessary to perform an MRI and the investigator deemed that this would be an unwarranted risk to the participant, liver volume could have been measured by ultrasound. Organ volume was measured by a single independent reviewer who was blinded to the participant identification and time point. The liver size relative to body weight was determined using the corresponding body weight measured at the same visit. Change in liver volume is presented as the normalized percentage of body weight. A negative change from baseline indicates that liver volume decreased.

Quantitative abdominal MRI was used to measure spleen volume. If sedation was necessary to perform an MRI and the investigator deemed that this would be an unwarranted risk to the participant, spleen volume could have been measured by ultrasound. Organ volume was measured by a single independent reviewer who was blinded to the participant identification and time point. The spleen size relative to body weight was determined using the corresponding body weight measured at the same visit. Change in spleen volume is presented as the normalized percentage of body weight. A negative change from baseline indicates that spleen volume decreased.

Population: The Intent-to-Treat population, defined as all participants who received at least 1 study drug infusion (full or partial).

Neurological symptoms were evaluated at regular intervals during the study and assessed on an individualized basis by a limited, age- and developmental stage-appropriate neurological examination adapted to suit the status of each participant. It was preferred that each neurological examination be performed by a neurologist with experience in assessment of neurological symptoms in patients with Gaucher disease and, if possible, the same neurologist (or designee) who evaluated a given participant at baseline performed the neurological examinations scheduled for that participant during the treatment phase and at the end of study visit.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 57 weeks

Population: The Safety Analysis population, defined as all participants who received at least 1 study drug infusion (full or partial).

Adverse events (AEs) were monitored continuously throughout the study from the time the participant or participants parent/legal guardian signed the informed consent/assent (if applicable) until 30 days after the participant's last dose of study drug or at the end of study visit and/or until the event resolved or stabilized, or an outcome had been reached, whichever came first. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were defined as AEs which occurred on or after the time of the first infusion until 30 days after the participant's last study infusion. An infusion-related reaction is defined as an AE that 1) began either during or within 12 hours after the start of the infusion, and 2) was judged as possibly or probably related to study medication.

Timeframe: Baseline, Weeks 13, 25, 37 and 53

Population: The Intent-to-Treat population, defined as all participants who received at least 1 study drug infusion (full or partial).

Participants provided blood samples for measurement of anti-velaglucerase alfa antibodies in serum at baseline and approximately every 12 weeks during the treatment phase. Blood samples collected during the treatment phase were to be drawn prior to infusions. Analysis of anti-velaglucerase antibodies used a validated 3-tier immunoassay method (screening, confirmatory, and titer).
