Title: A Phase 2, Open-Label, Multi-Center Study Evaluating the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Genz-112638 in Gaucher Type 1 Patients
Brief Summary: Gaucher disease is a genetic disease that results in a deficiency of an enzyme acid beta-glucosidase, also known as glucocerebrosidase. This enzyme is needed to digest a substrate (lipid) called glucosylceramide and, to a lesser degree, glucosylsphingosine. In participants with Gaucher disease, the liver, spleen, bone marrow and brain show increases in lipid concentration, specifically in cells derived from the monocyte/macrophage system.

Eliglustat tartrate (Genz-112638) is an oral drug that may regulate the Gaucher disease process by decreasing the synthesis of glucosylceramide. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of eliglustat tartrate, administered as an oral dose of either 50 milligram (mg) twice daily (BID) or 100 mg BID, to men and women with Gaucher disease Type 1 for 52 weeks.


Options:
A: Inclusion criteria:

I1. Individuals with IFG and/or IGT, or early diabetes, as defined below.

Glucose tolerance status was determined by a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) that was performed fasting (ie, no consumption of food or beverage other than water for at least 8 hours) at the time of screening for all candidates who were not known to have diabetes. The qualifying OGTT could be obtained up to 4 weeks prior to screening provided that anti-diabetic therapy (if any) remained unchanged between the qualifying OGTT and the screening visit. Two plasma glucose values were drawn during the OGTT - a fasting value (FPG) and a value drawn two hours after the 75 g oral glucose load was administered (postprandial plasma glucose \[PPG\]).

- Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), defined as a PPG value ≥140 and \<200 mg/dL (ie, ≥7.8 and \<11.1 mmol/L), with a FPG \<126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L).

OR

- Impaired fasting glucose (IFG), defined as an FPG ≥110 and \<126 mg/dL (≥6.1 and \<7 mmol/L), without diabetes mellitus (PPG must be \<200 mg/dL \[11.1 mmol/L\]).

OR

- Early type 2 diabetes, defined as a FPG ≥126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or a PPG of ≥200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L), or a previous diagnosis of diabetes, and either:

* on no pharmacological treatment (while ambulatory) for at least 10 weeks prior to screening, with screening glycated hemoglobin \<150% of the upper limit of normal (ULN) for the laboratory (eg, \<9% if the ULN is 6%)
* or taking one oral antidiabetic drug (OAD) from among sulfonylureas (SU), biguanides, thiazolidinediones (TZDs), alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs), and meglitinides (MGTs) at a stable dose while ambulatory for at least 10 weeks at the time of screening (or for the 10 weeks prior to hospitalization if identified while hospitalized for a CV event), with screening glycated hemoglobin \<133% of the ULN for the laboratory (eg, \<8% if the ULN is 6%) if taking this medication at half-maximum dose or greater, and glycated hemoglobin \<142% of the ULN for the laboratory (eg, \<8.5% if the ULN is 6%) if taking this medication at less than half-maximum dose. Individuals taking combination products containing two or more OADs were not eligible.

I2. Men or women aged 50 years and older

I3. At least one of the following CV risk factors:

* previous myocardial infarction (MI) (≥ 5 days prior to randomization)

* microalbuminuria or clinical albuminuria (an albumin: creatinine ratio ≥ 30 μg/mg in at least one or timed collection of urine with albumin excretion ≥20 μg/min or ≥30 mg/24 hours or total protein excretion ≥500 mg/24 hours)
* left ventricular hypertrophy by electrocardiogram or echocardiogram
* significant stenosis on angiography of coronary, carotid, or lower extremity arteries (ie, 50% or more stenosis)

I5. Ability and willingness to complete study diaries and questionnaires.

I6. Demonstrated ability to use the self-glucose-monitoring device, and to self-inject insulin prior to randomization.

I7. A negative pregnancy test for all women of childbearing potential (ie, ovulating, pre- menopausal, and not surgically sterile) and the agreement of these women to use a reliable method of birth control to prevent pregnancy during the duration of the study .

I8. Willingness to discontinue prior omega-3 PUFA supplements for the duration of the study.
