switch over study of biosimilar aga for fabry disease

Conditions: Fabry Disease

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®.

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 plasma lyso-gb3 marker ratio after 26 weeks of treatment, defined as plasma level of the marker lyso-gb3 after 26 weeks (6 months) divided by plasma level of the marker lyso-gb3 at baseline).
