Clinical Trial ALERT!!!

Genzyme, a Sanofi Company have launched a phase 2 clinical trial in adults (18 years and older) with Type 3 Gaucher disease. This 52-week two-part study is currently open and recruiting patients in the UK and the US.

To be eligible for this study all participants MUST be on Cerezyme for at least 6 months prior to enrollment, at a stable monthly dose and must continue at the same monthly dose during the study.

The Primary Objective of the study is:

Part 1:

·         Evaluate central nervous system (CNS) biomarkers in adult Gaucher disease (GD) type 3 (GD3) patients that distinguish GD3 from Gaucher disease type 1 (GD1).

·         Screen adult GD3 patients who qualify for treatment with GZ/SAR402671 in Part 2.

Part 2:

·         Evaluate the safety and tolerability of GZ/SAR402671 in adult GD3 patients.

·         Evaluate the change in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) central nervous system (CNS)                     biomarkers from adult GD3 patients receiving GZ/SAR402671.

And Secondary Objectives:

·         Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of GZ/SAR402671 in adult GD3 patients.

·         Explore the efficacy of GZ/SAR402671 in infiltrative lung disease (IDL) in adult GD3               patients.

·         Explore the efficacy of GZ/SAR402671 in systemic disease in adult GD3 patients.

·         Explore the efficacy of GZ/SAR402671 in neurological function and on exploratory CSF biomarkers in adult GD3 patients.
