Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.

Condition(s) targeted: Gaucher Disease, Type 1

Intervention: AT2101 (Drug)

Phase: Phase 2

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Amicus Therapeutics

Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s):
Eugene Schneider, MD, Study Director, Affiliation: Amicus Therapeutics

Summary

Gaucher disease is a lysosomal storage disorder resulting from a deficiency in the key enzyme beta-glucocerebrosidase (GCase). The enzyme deficiency is caused by genetic mutations, which can result in the production of misfolded GCase. AT2101 is designed to act as a pharmacological chaperone by selectively binding to the misfolded GCase and helping it fold correctly, which may restore GCase activity.

This study is being conducted to test the safety of AT2101 in patients with type 1 Gaucher disease already receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). The study will involve six visits over a period of 7 weeks and will evaluate the safety of AT2101.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Randomized, Open-Label Study to Assess the Safety and Tolerability of Multiple Dose Levels and Multiple Dosing Regimens of AT2101 in Adult Patients With Type 1 Gaucher Disease Currently Receiving ERT

Study design: Treatment, Randomized, Open Label, Dose Comparison, Parallel Assignment, Safety Study

Primary outcome: The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of AT2101.

Secondary outcome: The secondary objective of the study is to assess pharmacodynamic effects of AT2101, including beta-glucocerebrosidase (GCase), glucocerebroside (GlcCer), chitotriosidase, and pulmonary and activation regulated chemokine (PARC).

investigator

known to interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs
