Trial Outcomes & Findings for Multicenter Extension Study of Velaglucerase Alfa in Japanese Patients With Gaucher Disease (NCT NCT01842841)

NCT ID: NCT01842841

Last Updated: 2021-06-14

Results Overview

An AE was any noxious, pathologic, or unintended change in anatomical, physiologic, or metabolic function as indicated by physical signs, symptoms, or laboratory changes occurring in any phase of a clinical study, whether or not considered related to investigational product. A SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. An infusion-related AE was defined as an AE that started either during or within 12 hours after the start of the infusion and that was judged as possibly or probably related to investigational product.

Population: Data was not reported as there were lesser than (\<) 50% of participants with evaluable data.

BMD was measured by dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for lumbar spine and femurs. To ensure standardization and allow for comparisons of BMD, results were converted to standardized Z-scores (matched for age and gender). Z-scores express the BMD as the number of standard deviations (SDs) above or below the average BMD of a healthy participant of the same age and gender. Statistical analysis plan only required summarization if greater than (\>) 50 percent (%) of participants had evaluable data. Week 51 of Study HGT-GCB-087 (NCT01614574) was considered as baseline for this endpoint.

BMD was measured by DXA for lumbar spine and femurs. To ensure standardization and allow for comparisons of BMD, results were converted to standardized T-scores; normal values were used from databases from Hologic based on standard criteria. T-scores are the number of SDs above or below the average for a young adult at peak BMD. Statistical analysis plan only required summarization if \>50% of participants had evaluable data. Week 51 of Study HGT-GCB-087 (NCT01614574) was considered as baseline for this endpoint.

Population: Safety population.

BMB Score was measured using MRI, range from 0 (no abnormalities) to 8 points (severe disease) for the lumbar spine and from 0 (no abnormalities) to 8 points (severe disease) for the femurs. The total score was calculated as the sum of scores for femur and lumbar spine regions which ranged from 0-16 points. A higher BMB score signified more severe bone marrow involvement. Week 51 of Study HGT-GCB-087 (NCT01614574) was considered as baseline for this endpoint.

The Z-score, or Standard Deviation Score, is a measure of number of SDs above or below the average BMD of a healthy participant of the same age and gender. World Health Organization 2007 growth reference data were used for Z-score calculation. Statistical analysis plan only required summarization if \>50% of participants had evaluable data.

Skeletal age was measured via radiography (X-ray) of the left hand and wrist by the method of Greulich and Pyle. The Z-score, or Standard Deviation Score, is a measure of number of SDs above or below the average BMD of a healthy participant of the same age and gender. Statistical analysis plan only required summarization if \>50% of participants had evaluable data. Week 51 of Study HGT-GCB-087 (NCT01614574) was considered as baseline for this endpoint.

Population: Safety population. Number of participants analyzed signifies participants who were not deficient at baseline in chitotriosidase activity or who did not have a 24 base pair duplication in either copy of the chitotriosidase gene.
