Brief summary

BIO-AGA-Fase III-001 is a Phase III, prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-group, baseline-controlled, switch over clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AGA BETA BS in patients with FD already treated and previously stabilized with Fabrazyme®.

Detailed description

BIO-AGA-Fase III-001 is a Phase III, prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-group, baseline-controlled, switch over clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AGA BETA BS in patients with FD already treated and previously stabilized with Fabrazyme®. The study will be conducted in 2 parts: a 5-week Lead-in period (period 1) and 54 week treatment period (period 2). During period 1 all participants will receive 2 intravenous (IV) infusions of Fabrazyme®, provided by Biosidus. After that, in period 2 all participants will switch treatment to AGA BETA BS. A total of up to 20 participants are planned for the study. •The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the equivalence in efficacy between AGA BETA BS and Fabrazyme® after 6 months of treatment in participants with Fabry disease previously stabilized with Fabrazyme, by measuring disease biomarker (mean serum Lyso-Gb3 marker ratio after 26 weeks of treatment, defined as serum level of the marker Lyso-Gb3 after 26 weeks (6 months) divided by serum level of the marker Lyso-Gb3 at baseline).

Interventions

All participants will receive 2 doses of Fabrazyme® with approximately 14 days between them. The dose will be 1 mg/kg of body mass every 2 weeks

DRUGRecombinant human alpha-galactosidase A (agalsidase beta)

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Lyso Gb3 Serum LevelsBaseline (after 5 week lead-in period on Fabrazyme®) and 26 weeks (after the switch to AGA BETA BS)The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the equivalence in efficacy between AGA BETA BS and Fabrazyme® after 6 months of treatment in participants with Fabry disease previously stabilized with Fabrazyme, by measuring disease biomarker. Endpoint: Mean serum Lyso-Gb3 marker ratio after 26 weeks of treatment, defined as serum level of the marker Lyso-Gb3 after 26 weeks (6 months) divided by serum level of the marker Lyso-Gb3 at baseline.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Lyso-Gb3 Serum LevelsBaseline (after 5 week lead-in period on Fabrazyme®) and 54 weeks (after the switch to AGA BETA BS)To evaluate the difference in efficacy between AGA BETA BS and Fabrazyme® after 1 year (54 weeks) of treatment in participants with Fabry disease previously stabilized with Fabrazyme®, by measuring disease biomarker. Endpoint: Mean serum Lyso-Gb3 marker ratio after 54 weeks of treatment, defined as serum level of the marker Lyso-Gb3 after 54 weeks (12 months) divided by serum level of the marker Lyso-Gb3 at baseline.
Change From Baseline in Pain Severity as Assessed by Brief Pain Inventory-short Form Pain Severity Items ScoresBaseline (after 5 week lead-in period on Fabrazyme®), 26 weeks and 54 weeks (after the switch to AGA BETA BS).To compare the pain severity before and after the treatment with AGA BETA BS in participants with Fabry disease previously stabilized with Fabrazyme®, as measured by the Brief Pain Inventory-short form (BPI). The Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) is a validated patient-reported outcome instrument assessing pain severity and pain-related interference with daily activities. Pain severity is assessed using four items rated on a 0-10 numeric rating scale (0 = no pain; 10 = pain as bad as imaginable), with the score calculated as the mean of items (range 0-10; higher scores indicate worse pain). Pain interference is assessed using seven items rated on a 0-10 numeric rating scale (0 = does not interfere; 10 = completely interferes), with the score calculated as the mean of items (range 0-10; higher scores indicate worse outcome). Endpoint: Change from baseline in pain severity as assessed by BPI-short form pain severity items scores after 26 and 54 weeks of treatment.

The Short Form-36 Health Survey (SF-36) is a validated patient-reported outcome instrument consisting of 36 questions designed to assess health-related quality of life. The questionnaire generates scores across eight domains (physical functioning, role limitations due to physical health, pain, general health, energy/fatigue, social functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems, and emotional well being), each scored on a 0-100 scale. Domain scores are calculated according to standard scoring algorithms, with higher scores indicating better health status and quality of life. Endpoint: Change from baseline in SF-36 scores after 26 and 54 weeks of treatment.
