Brief summary
The primary objective of this study was to compare the effect of migalastat (123 milligrams \[mg\] of migalastat \[equivalent to 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride\]) (migalastat) versus placebo on kidney globotriaosylceramide (GL-3).
Detailed description
This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted in 67 participants at 46 sites worldwide. The study consisted of 2 stages and an optional open-label treatment extension phase: Stage 1 included a screening period of up to 2 months followed by a 6-month treatment period which involved 4 visits to the clinic. Participants were randomized in equal proportions to receive either migalastat or placebo. After completing the 6-month double-blind phase, all participants entered Stage 2 of the study and received migalastat in an open-label manner. Stage 2 treatment lasted for 6 months and involved up to 4 visits to the clinic. Participants who completed both Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the study as scheduled were offered the opportunity to participate in an open-label treatment extension phase with migalastat. The open-label treatment extension phase lasted 12 months and involved 2 visits to the clinic. A follow-up visit was undertaken 1 month following completion or discontinuation from the open-label treatment extension. Participants completing the 12-month open-label treatment extension and providing consent to enter a separate long-term extension were not required to complete this follow-up visit. Study assessments included clinical laboratory tests, 12-lead electrocardiogram, kidney biopsy, kidney function testing, echocardiography, and patient-reported outcomes.

One pathologist served as annotator and identified the 300 capillaries on up to 8 slides per specimen to be scored. Two pathologists served as scorers; these pathologists completed the blinded paired assessments. Each pathologist served as annotator/adjudicator for 1/3 of the cases. Paired assessments were undertaken at Baseline and Month 6. Assessments were made using digital images. A responder was defined as a participant with a ≥50% reduction from Baseline to Month 6 in the average number of kidney IC GL-3 inclusions. |
