Evaluation of thesafety and efficacy of ambroxol in Gaucher disease caused by carrying the c.1448T>C mutation (p.Leu483Pro) and other rare variants of the GBA gene, based on clinical evaluation and results of genetic and metabolomic analyses

Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of ambroxol (ABX) use in Polish patients with Gaucher disease, presenting neuronopathic type (GD type III, GD3) resulting from homozygous c.1448T>C mutation (p.Leu483Pro) in the GBA gene and GD types caused by other GBA variants, on the basis of the clinical picture and multi-omic analyses - AxGD

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The aim of the study is to analyze the use of ambroxol in patients with certain genotypes of Gaucher disease, to assess the safety and clinical improvement, taking into account biomarkers, molecular mechanisms at the level of methylome and transcriptome (RNA and small RNA), the effect on methylation and metabolomic indicators, and to verify this effect in protein model.;Secondary Objective: Assessment of methylation, RNA expression and metabolome after inclusion and withdrawal of ambroxol;Primary end point(s): 1. Clinical status of patients with Gaucher disease (GD1-PD and GD3) defined as a reduction in mSST scores of neurological symptoms after 90 and 180 days of ABX treatment compared to baseline values. 2. Clinical status of patients with Gaucher disease (GD3), defined as an increase in the mSST score of neurological symptoms 30 days after discontinuation of ABX. 3. Improvement in hematological parameters (normalization of hemoglobin concentration, normalization of platelet count, normalization of INR values) after 90 and 180 days of ABX treatment compared to baseline values 4. Reduction in chitotriosidase activity and lyso- (GL1) levels after 90 and 180 days of ABX treatment compared to baseline values 5. Improvement in bone density after 180 days of ABX treatment compared to baseline values 6. Safety of the drug used;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. after 90 and 180 days of ABX treatment compared to baseline values 2. after 30 days of ABX discontinuation 3. after 90 and 180 days of ABX treatment relative to baseline values 4. after 90 and 180 days of ABX treatment relative to baseline values 5. after 180 days of ABX treatment relative to baseline values

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Assessment of methylation, RNA expression and metabolome;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: After 90 and 180 days of ABX treatment compared to baseline values in group II and 30 days after ABX withdrawal in group I
