Title: Treatment of fabry disease in ert-naïve and ert-experienced patients

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     Principles and embodiments of the present invention relate generally to the use of pharmacological chaperones for the treatment of lysosomal storage disorders, particularly the use of migalastat for the treatment of Fabry disease. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Fabry disease is a progressive, X-linked inborn error of glycosphingolipid metabolism caused by a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) as a result of mutations in the α-Gal A gene (GLA). Despite being an X-linked disorder, females can express varying degrees of clinical manifestations. Fabry is a rare disease with incidence estimated between 1 in 40,000 males to 1 in 117,000 in the general population. Moreover, there are variants of later onset phenotype of Fabry disease that can be under-diagnosed, as they do not present with classical signs and symptoms. This, and newborn screening for Fabry disease, suggests that the actual incidence of Fabry disease can be higher than currently estimated. 
     Untreated, life expectancy in Fabry patients is reduced and death usually occurs in the fourth or fifth decade because of vascular disease affecting the kidneys, heart and/or central nervous system. The enzyme deficiency leads to intracellular accumulation of the substrate, globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) in the vascular endothelium and visceral tissues throughout the body. Gradual deterioration of renal function and the development of azotemia, due to glycosphingolipid deposition, usually occur in the third to fifth decades of life, but can occur as early as in the second decade. Renal lesions are found in both hemizygous (male) and heterozygous (female) patients. 
     Cardiac disease as a result of Fabry disease occurs in most males and many females. Early cardiac findings include left ventricular enlargement, valvular involvement and conduction abnormalities. Mitral insufficiency is the most frequent valvular lesion typically present in childhood or adolescence. Cerebrovascular manifestations result primarily from multifocal small-vessel involvement and can include thromboses, transient ischemic attacks, basilar artery ischemia and aneurysm, seizures, hemiplegia, hemianesthesia, aphasia, labyrinthine disorders, or cerebral hemorrhages. Average age of onset of cerebrovascular manifestations is 33.8 years. Personality change and psychotic behavior can manifest with increasing age. 
     The current FDA-approved treatment for Fabry disease is enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Two α-Gal A products are currently available for the treatment of Fabry disease: agalsidase alfa (Replagal®, Shire Human Genetic Therapies) and agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme®; Genzyme Corporation). These two forms of ERT are intended to compensate for a patient&#39;s inadequate α-Gal A activity with a recombinant form of the enzyme, administered intravenously. While ERT is effective in many settings, the treatment also has limitations. ERT has not been demonstrated to decrease the risk of stroke, cardiac muscle responds slowly, and GL-3 elimination from some of the cell types of the kidneys is limited. Some patients also develop immune reactions to ERT. 
     Accordingly, there remains a need for therapies for the treatment of Fabry disease.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Before describing several exemplary embodiments of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the details of construction or process steps set forth in the following description. The invention is capable of other embodiments and of being practiced or being carried out in various ways. 
     Various aspects of the present invention pertain to dosing regimens for the administration of pharmacological chaperones such as migalastat for the treatment of Fabry disease. In one or more embodiments, the dosing regimens of migalastat improve one or more cardiac parameters and/or one or more renal parameters of a patient. 
     Definitions 
     The terms used in this specification generally have their ordinary meanings in the art, within the context of this invention and in the specific context where each term is used. Certain terms are discussed below, or elsewhere in the specification, to provide additional guidance to the practitioner in describing the compositions and methods of the invention and how to make and use them. 
     The term “Fabry disease” refers to an X-linked inborn error of glycosphingolipid catabolism due to deficient lysosomal α-Gal A activity. This defect causes accumulation of the substrate globotriaosylceramide (“GL-3”, also known as Gb3 or ceramide trihexoside) and related glycosphingolipids in vascular endothelial lysosomes of the heart, kidneys, skin, and other tissues. 
     The term “atypical Fabry disease” refers to patients with primarily cardiac manifestations of the α-Gal A deficiency, namely progressive GL-3 accumulation in myocardial cells that leads to significant enlargement of the heart, particularly the left ventricle. 
     A “carrier” is a female who has one X chromosome with a defective α-Gal A gene and one X chromosome with the normal gene and in whom X chromosome inactivation of the normal allele is present in one or more cell types. A carrier is often diagnosed with Fabry disease. 
     A “patient” refers to a subject who has been diagnosed with or is suspected of having a particular disease. The patient may be human or animal. 
     A “Fabry patient” refers to an individual who has been diagnosed with or suspected of having Fabry disease and has a mutated α-Gal A as defined further below. Characteristic markers of Fabry disease can occur in male hemizygotes and female carriers with the same prevalence, although females typically are less severely affected. 
     The term “ERT-naïve patient” refers to a Fabry patient that has never received ERT or has not received ERT for at least 6 months prior to initiating migalastat therapy. 
     The term “ERT-experienced patient” refers to a Fabry patient that was receiving ERT immediately prior to initiating migalastat therapy. In some embodiments, the ERT-experienced patient has received at least 12 months of ERT immediately prior to initiating migalastat therapy. 
     Human α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) refers to an enzyme encoded by the human GLA gene. The full DNA sequence of α-Gal A, including introns and exons, is available in GenBank Accession No. X14448.1 and shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 and  FIGS. 1A-E . The human α-Gal A enzyme consists of 429 amino acids and is available in GenBank Accession Nos. X14448.1 and U78027.1 and shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 and  FIG. 2 . 
     The term “mutant protein” includes a protein which has a mutation in the gene encoding the protein which results in the inability of the protein to achieve a stable conformation under the conditions normally present in the endoplasmic reticulum. The failure to achieve a stable conformation results in a substantial amount of the enzyme being degraded, rather than being transported to the lysosome. Such a mutation is sometimes called a “conformational mutant.” Such mutations include, but are not limited to, missense mutations, and in-frame small deletions and insertions. 
     As used herein in one embodiment, the term “mutant α-Gal A” includes an α-Gal A which has a mutation in the gene encoding α-Gal A which results in the inability of the enzyme to achieve a stable conformation under the conditions normally present in the endoplasmic reticulum. The failure to achieve a stable conformation results in a substantial amount of the enzyme being degraded, rather than being transported to the lysosome. 
     As used herein, the term “pharmacological chaperone” (“PC”) refers to any molecule including a small molecule, protein, peptide, nucleic acid, carbohydrate, etc. that specifically binds to a protein and has one or more of the following effects: (i) enhances the formation of a stable molecular conformation of the protein; (ii) induces trafficking of the protein from the endoplasmic reticulum to another cellular location, preferably a native cellular location, i.e., prevents endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation of the protein; (iii) prevents aggregation of misfolded proteins; and/or (iv) restores or enhances at least partial wild-type function and/or activity to the protein. A compound that specifically binds to e.g., α-Gal A, means that it binds to and exerts a chaperone effect on the enzyme and not a generic group of related or unrelated enzymes. More specifically, this term does not refer to endogenous chaperones, such as BiP, or to non-specific agents which have demonstrated non-specific chaperone activity against various proteins, such as glycerol, DMSO or deuterated water, i.e., chemical chaperones. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the PC may be a reversible competitive inhibitor. 
     A “competitive inhibitor” of an enzyme can refer to a compound which structurally resembles the chemical structure and molecular geometry of the enzyme substrate to bind the enzyme in approximately the same location as the substrate. Thus, the inhibitor competes for the same active site as the substrate molecule, thus increasing the Km. Competitive inhibition is usually reversible if sufficient substrate molecules are available to displace the inhibitor, i.e., competitive inhibitors can bind reversibly. Therefore, the amount of enzyme inhibition depends upon the inhibitor concentration, substrate concentration, and the relative affinities of the inhibitor and substrate for the active site. 
     As used herein, the term “specifically binds” refers to the interaction of a pharmacological chaperone with a protein such as α-Gal A, specifically, an interaction with amino acid residues of the protein that directly participate in contacting the pharmacological chaperone. A pharmacological chaperone specifically binds a target protein, e.g., α-Gal A, to exert a chaperone effect on the protein and not a generic group of related or unrelated proteins. The amino acid residues of a protein that interact with any given pharmacological chaperone may or may not be within the protein&#39;s “active site.” Specific binding can be evaluated through routine binding assays or through structural studies, e.g., co-crystallization, NMR, and the like. The active site for α-Gal A is the substrate binding site. 
     “Deficient α-Gal A activity” refers to α-Gal A activity in cells from a patient which is below the normal range as compared (using the same methods) to the activity in normal individuals not having or suspected of having Fabry or any other disease (especially a blood disease). 
     As used herein, the terms “enhance α-Gal A activity” or “increase α-Gal A activity” refer to increasing the amount of α-Gal A that adopts a stable conformation in a cell contacted with a pharmacological chaperone specific for the α-Gal A, relative to the amount in a cell (preferably of the same cell-type or the same cell, e.g., at an earlier time) not contacted with the pharmacological chaperone specific for the α-Gal A. This term also refers to increasing the trafficking of α-Gal A to the lysosome in a cell contacted with a pharmacological chaperone specific for the α-Gal A, relative to the trafficking of α-Gal A not contacted with the pharmacological chaperone specific for the protein. These terms refer to both wild-type and mutant α-Gal A. In one embodiment, the increase in the amount of α-Gal A in the cell is measured by measuring the hydrolysis of an artificial substrate in lysates from cells that have been treated with the PC. An increase in hydrolysis is indicative of increased α-Gal A activity. 
     The term “α-Gal A activity” refers to the normal physiological function of a wild-type α-Gal A in a cell. For example, α-Gal A activity includes hydrolysis of GL-3. 
     A “responder” is an individual diagnosed with or suspected of having a lysosomal storage disorder, such, for example Fabry disease, whose cells exhibit sufficiently increased α-Gal A activity, respectively, and/or amelioration of symptoms or improvement in surrogate markers, in response to contact with a PC. Non-limiting examples of improvements in surrogate markers for Fabry are lyso-GB3 and those disclosed in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US 2010/0113517. 
     Non-limiting examples of improvements in surrogate markers for Fabry disease disclosed in U.S. 2010/0113517 include increases in α-Gal A levels or activity in cells (e.g., fibroblasts) and tissue; reductions in of GL-3 accumulation; decreased plasma concentrations of homocysteine and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1); decreased GL-3 accumulation within myocardial cells and valvular fibrocytes; reduction in plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3); reduction in cardiac hypertrophy (especially of the left ventricle), amelioration of valvular insufficiency, and arrhythmias; amelioration of proteinuria; decreased urinary concentrations of lipids such as CTH, lactosylceramide, ceramide, and increased urinary concentrations of glucosylceramide and sphingomyelin; the absence of laminated inclusion bodies (Zebra bodies) in glomerular epithelial cells; improvements in renal function; mitigation of hypohidrosis; the absence of angiokeratomas; and improvements hearing abnormalities such as high frequency sensorineural hearing loss progressive hearing loss, sudden deafness, or tinnitus. Improvements in neurological symptoms include prevention of transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke; and amelioration of neuropathic pain manifesting itself as acroparaesthesia (burning or tingling in extremities). Another type of clinical marker that can be assessed for Fabry disease is the prevalence of deleterious cardiovascular manifestations. 
     As used herein, the term “normalizing LVMi” refers to reducing the LVMi of a patient from an above-normal range to within the normal range. The normal range of LVMi for a female is 43-95 g/m 2  and the normal range of LVMi for a male is 49-115 g/m 2 . Thus, normalizing LVMi for a female patient is reducing LVMi from &gt;95 g/m 2  to within the range of 43-95 g/m 2 , and normalizing LVMi for a male patient is reducing LVMi from &gt;115 g/m 2  to within the range of 49-115 g/m 2 . 
     The phrase “pharmaceutically acceptable” refers to molecular entities and compositions that are physiologically tolerable and do not typically produce untoward reactions when administered to a human. In some embodiments, as used herein, the term “pharmaceutically acceptable” means approved by a regulatory agency of the Federal or a state government or listed in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia or other generally recognized pharmacopoeia for use in animals, and more particularly in humans. The term “carrier” in reference to a pharmaceutical carrier refers to a diluent, adjuvant, excipient, or vehicle with which the compound is administered. Such pharmaceutical carriers can be sterile liquids, such as water and oils. Water or aqueous solution saline solutions and aqueous dextrose and glycerol solutions are preferably employed as carriers, particularly for injectable solutions. Suitable pharmaceutical carriers are described in “Remington&#39;s Pharmaceutical Sciences” by E. W. Martin, 18th Edition, or other editions. 
     The term “enzyme replacement therapy” or “ERT” refers to the introduction of a non-native, purified enzyme into an individual having a deficiency in such enzyme. The administered protein can be obtained from natural sources or by recombinant expression (as described in greater detail below). The term also refers to the introduction of a purified enzyme in an individual otherwise requiring or benefiting from administration of a purified enzyme, e.g., suffering from enzyme insufficiency. The introduced enzyme may be a purified, recombinant enzyme produced in vitro, or protein purified from isolated tissue or fluid, such as, e.g., placenta or animal milk, or from plants. 
     As used herein, the term “isolated” means that the referenced material is removed from the environment in which it is normally found. Thus, an isolated biological material can be free of cellular components, i.e., components of the cells in which the material is found or produced. In the case of nucleic acid molecules, an isolated nucleic acid includes a PCR product, an mRNA band on a gel, a cDNA, or a restriction fragment. In another embodiment, an isolated nucleic acid is preferably excised from the chromosome in which it may be found, and more preferably is no longer joined to non-regulatory, non-coding regions, or to other genes, located upstream or downstream of the gene contained by the isolated nucleic acid molecule when found in the chromosome. In yet another embodiment, the isolated nucleic acid lacks one or more introns. Isolated nucleic acids include sequences inserted into plasmids, cosmids, artificial chromosomes, and the like. Thus, in a specific embodiment, a recombinant nucleic acid is an isolated nucleic acid. An isolated protein may be associated with other proteins or nucleic acids, or both, with which it associates in the cell, or with cellular membranes if it is a membrane-associated protein. An isolated organelle, cell, or tissue is removed from the anatomical site in which it is found in an organism. An isolated material may be, but need not be, purified. 
     The terms “about” and “approximately” shall generally mean an acceptable degree of error for the quantity measured given the nature or precision of the measurements. Typical, exemplary degrees of error are within 20 percent (%), preferably within 10%, and more preferably within 5% of a given value or range of values. Alternatively, and particularly in biological systems, the terms “about” and “approximately” may mean values that are within an order of magnitude, preferably within 10- or 5-fold, and more preferably within 2-fold of a given value. Numerical quantities given herein are approximate unless stated otherwise, meaning that the term “about” or “approximately” can be inferred when not expressly stated. 
     Fabry Disease 
     Fabry disease is a rare, progressive and devastating X-linked lysosomal storage disorder. Mutations in the GLA gene result in a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme, α-Gal A, which is required for glycosphingolipid metabolism. Beginning early in life, the reduction in α-Gal A activity results in an accumulation of glycosphingolipids, including GL-3 and plasma lyso-Gb3, and leads to the symptoms and life-limiting sequelae of Fabry disease, including pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, renal failure, cardiomyopathy, cerebrovascular events, and early mortality. Early initiation of therapy and lifelong treatment provide an opportunity to slow disease progression and prolong life expectancy. 
     Fabry disease encompasses a spectrum of disease severity and age of onset, although it has traditionally been divided into 2 main phenotypes, “classic” and “late-onset”. The classic phenotype has been ascribed primarily to males with undetectable to low α-Gal A activity and earlier onset of renal, cardiac and/or cerebrovascular manifestations. The late-onset phenotype has been ascribed primarily to males with higher residual α-Gal A activity and later onset of these disease manifestations. Heterozygous female carriers typically express the late-onset phenotype but depending on the pattern of X-chromosome inactivation may also display the classic phenotype. 
     More than 800 Fabry disease-causing GLA mutations have been identified. Approximately 60% are missense mutations, resulting in single amino acid substitutions in the α-Gal A enzyme. Missense GLA mutations often result in the production of abnormally folded and unstable forms of α-Gal A and the majority are associated with the classic phenotype. Normal cellular quality control mechanisms in the endoplasmic reticulum block the transit of these abnormal proteins to lysosomes and target them for premature degradation and elimination. Many missense mutant forms are targets for migalastat, an α-Gal A-specific pharmacological chaperone. 
     The clinical manifestations of Fabry disease span a broad spectrum of severity and roughly correlate with a patient&#39;s residual α-Gal A levels. The majority of currently treated patients are referred to as classic Fabry patients, most of whom are males. These patients experience disease of various organs, including the kidneys, heart and brain, with disease symptoms first appearing in adolescence and typically progressing in severity until death in the fourth or fifth decade of life. A number of recent studies suggest that there are a large number of undiagnosed males and females that have a range of Fabry disease symptoms, such as impaired cardiac or renal function and strokes, that usually first appear in adulthood. Individuals with this type of Fabry disease, referred to as later-onset Fabry disease, tend to have higher residual α-Gal A levels than classic Fabry patients. Individuals with later-onset Fabry disease typically first experience disease symptoms in adulthood, and often have disease symptoms focused on a single organ, such as enlargement of the left ventricle or progressive kidney failure. In addition, later-onset Fabry disease may also present in the form of strokes of unknown cause. 
     Fabry patients have progressive kidney impairment, and untreated patients exhibit end-stage renal impairment by the fifth decade of life. Deficiency in α-Gal A activity leads to accumulation of GL-3 and related glycosphingolipids in many cell types including cells in the kidney. GL-3 accumulates in podocytes, epithelial cells and the tubular cells of the distal tubule and loop of Henle. Impairment in kidney function can manifest as proteinuria and reduced glomerular filtration rate. 
     Because Fabry disease is rare, involves multiple organs, has a wide age range of onset, and is heterogeneous, proper diagnosis is a challenge. Awareness is low among health care professionals and misdiagnoses are frequent. Diagnosis of Fabry disease is most often confirmed on the basis of decreased α-Gal A activity in plasma or peripheral leukocytes (WBCs) once a patient is symptomatic, coupled with mutational analysis. In females, diagnosis is even more challenging since the enzymatic identification of carrier females is less reliable due to random X-chromosomal inactivation in some cells of carriers. For example, some obligate carriers (daughters of classically affected males) have α-Gal A enzyme activities ranging from normal to very low activities. Since carriers can have normal α-Gal A enzyme activity in leukocytes, only the identification of an α-Gal A mutation by genetic testing provides precise carrier identification and/or diagnosis. 
     Mutant forms of α-Gal A are considered to be amenable to migalastat are defined as showing a relative increase (+10 μM migalastat) of ≥1.20-fold and an absolute increase (+10 μM migalastat) of ≥3.0% wild-type (WT) when the mutant form of α-Gal A is expressed in HEK-293 cells (referred to as the “HEK assay”) according to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)-validated in vitro assay (GLP HEK or Migalastat Amenability Assay). Such mutations are also referred to herein as “HEK assay amenable” mutations. 
     Previous screening methods have been provided that assess enzyme enhancement prior to the initiation of treatment. For example, an assay using HEK-293 cells has been utilized in clinical trials to predict whether a given mutation will be responsive to pharmacological chaperone (e.g., migalastat) treatment. In this assay, cDNA constructs are created. The corresponding α-Gal A mutant forms are transiently expressed in HEK-293 cells. Cells are then incubated ±migalastat (17 nM to 1 mM) for 4 to 5 days. After, α-Gal A levels are measured in cell lysates using a synthetic fluorogenic substrate (4-MU-α-Gal) or by western blot. This has been done for known disease-causing missense or small in-frame insertion/deletion mutations. Mutations that have previously been identified as responsive to a PC (e.g., migalastat) using these methods are listed in U.S. Pat. No. 8,592,362. 
     Pharmacological Chaperones 
     The binding of small molecule inhibitors of enzymes associated with LSDs can increase the stability of both mutant enzyme and the corresponding wild-type enzyme (see U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,274,597; 6,583,158; 6,589,964; 6,599,919; 6,916,829, and 7,141,582 all incorporated herein by reference). In particular, administration of small molecule derivatives of glucose and galactose, which are specific, selective competitive inhibitors for several target lysosomal enzymes, effectively increased the stability of the enzymes in cells in vitro and, thus, increased trafficking of the enzymes to the lysosome. Thus, by increasing the amount of enzyme in the lysosome, hydrolysis of the enzyme substrates is expected to increase. The original theory behind this strategy was as follows: since the mutant enzyme protein is unstable in the endoplasmic reticulum (Ishii et al.,  Biochem. Biophys. Res. Comm.  1996; 220: 812-815), the enzyme protein is retarded in the normal transport pathway (endoplasmic reticulum→Golgi apparatus→endosomes→lysosome) and prematurely degraded. Therefore, a compound which binds to and increases the stability of a mutant enzyme, may serve as a “chaperone” for the enzyme and increase the amount that can exit the endoplasmic reticulum and move to the lysosomes. In addition, because the folding and trafficking of some wild-type proteins is incomplete, with up to 70% of some wild-type proteins being degraded in some instances prior to reaching their final cellular location, the chaperones can be used to stabilize wild-type enzymes and increase the amount of enzyme which can exit the endoplasmic reticulum and be trafficked to lysosomes. 
     In one or more embodiments, the pharmacological chaperone comprises migalastat or salt thereof. As used herein, “migalastat” refers to (2R,3S,4R,5S)-2-(hydroxymethyl) piperdine-3,4,5-triol, and is also known as 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin and known under trade name Galafold™. In further embodiments, the pharmacological chaperone comprises the hydrochloride salt of migalastat. Migalastat has the following structure: 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     As used herein, the term “free base equivalent” or “FBE” refers to the amount of migalastat present in the migalastat or salt thereof. In other words, the term “FBE” means either an amount of migalastat free base, or the equivalent amount of migalastat free base that is provided by a salt of migalastat. For example, due to the weight of the hydrochloride salt, 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride only provides as much migalastat as 123 mg of the free base form of migalastat. Other salts will have different conversion factors, depending on the molecular weight of the salt. 
     Migalastat is a low molecular weight iminosugar and is an analogue of the terminal galactose of GL-3. In vitro and in vivo pharmacologic studies have demonstrated that migalastat acts as a pharmacological chaperone, selectively and reversibly binding, with high affinity, to the active site of wild-type (WT) α-Gal A and specific mutant forms of α-Gal A, the genotypes of which are referred to as HEK assay amenable mutations. Migalastat binding stabilizes these mutant forms of α-Gal A in the endoplasmic reticulum facilitating their proper trafficking to lysosomes where dissociation of migalastat allows α-Gal A to reduce the level of GL-3 and other substrates. Approximately 30-50% of patients with Fabry disease have HEK assay amenable mutations; the majority of which are associated with the classic phenotype of the disease. A list of HEK assay amenable mutations includes at least those mutations listed in Table 1 below. In one or more embodiments, if a double mutation is present on the same chromosome (males and females), that patient is considered HEK assay amenable if the double mutation is present in one entry in Table 1 (e.g., D55V/Q57L). In some embodiments, if a double mutation is present on different chromosomes (only in females) that patient is considered HEK assay amenable if either one of the individual mutations is present in Table 1.

     Dosing, Formulation and Administration 
     In one or more embodiments, the Fabry patient is administered migalastat or salt thereof at a frequency of once every other day (also referred to as “QOD”). In various embodiments, the doses described herein pertain to migalastat hydrochloride or an equivalent dose of migalastat or a salt thereof other than the hydrochloride salt. In some embodiments, these doses pertain to the free base of migalastat. In alternate embodiments, these doses pertain to a salt of migalastat. In further embodiments, the salt of migalastat is migalastat hydrochloride. The administration of migalastat or a salt of migalastat is referred to herein as “migalastat therapy”. 
     It is noted that 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride is equivalent to 123 mg of the free base form of migalastat. Thus, in one or more embodiments, the dose is 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride or an equivalent dose of migalastat or a salt thereof other than the hydrochloride salt, administered at a frequency of once every other day. As set forth above, this dose is referred to as 123 mg FBE of migalastat. In further embodiments, the dose is 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride administered every other day. In other embodiments, the dose is 123 mg of the migalastat free base administered at a frequency of once every other day. 
     Accordingly, in various embodiments, migalastat therapy includes administering 123 mg FBE every other day, such as 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride every other day. 
     The administration of migalastat may be for a certain period of time. In one or more embodiments, the migalastat is administered for at least 28 days, such as at least 30, 60 or 90 days or at least 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30 or 36 months or at least 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years. In various embodiments, the migalastat therapy is long-term migalastat therapy of at least 6 months, such as at least 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30 or 36 months or at least 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 years. 
     Administration of migalastat according to the present invention may be in a formulation suitable for any route of administration, but is preferably administered in an oral dosage form such as a tablet, capsule or solution. As one example, the patient is orally administered capsules each containing 150 mg migalastat hydrochloride or an equivalent dose of migalastat or a salt thereof other than the hydrochloride salt. 
     In some embodiments, the PC (e.g., migalastat or salt thereof) is administered orally. In one or more embodiments, the PC (e.g., migalastat or salt thereof) is administered by injection. The PC may be accompanied by a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, which may depend on the method of administration. 
     In one embodiment of the invention, the PC (e.g., migalastat or salt thereof) is administered as monotherapy, and can be in a form suitable for any route of administration, including e.g., orally in the form tablets or capsules or liquid, in sterile aqueous solution for injection, or in a dry lyophilized powder to be added to the formulation of the replacement enzyme during or immediately after reconstitution to prevent enzyme aggregation in vitro prior to administration. 
     When the PC (e.g., migalastat or salt thereof) is formulated for oral administration, the tablets or capsules can be prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable excipients such as binding agents (e.g., pregelatinized maize starch, polyvinylpyrrolidone or hydroxypropyl methylcellulose); fillers (e.g., lactose, microcrystalline cellulose or calcium hydrogen phosphate); lubricants (e.g., magnesium stearate, talc or silica); disintegrants (e.g., potato starch or sodium starch glycolate); or wetting agents (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate). The tablets may be coated by methods well known in the art. Liquid preparations for oral administration may take the form of, for example, solutions, syrups or suspensions, or they may be presented as a dry product for constitution with water or another suitable vehicle before use. Such liquid preparations may be prepared by conventional means with pharmaceutically acceptable additives such as suspending agents (e.g., sorbitol syrup, cellulose derivatives or hydrogenated edible fats); emulsifying agents (e.g., lecithin or acacia); non-aqueous vehicles (e.g., almond oil, oily esters, ethyl alcohol or fractionated vegetable oils); and preservatives (e.g., methyl or propyl-p-hydroxybenzoates or sorbic acid). The preparations may also contain buffer salts, flavoring, coloring and sweetening agents as appropriate. Preparations for oral administration may be suitably formulated to give controlled release of the active chaperone compound. 
     The pharmaceutical formulations of the PC (e.g., migalastat or salt thereof) suitable for parenteral/injectable use generally include sterile aqueous solutions (where water soluble), or dispersions and sterile powders for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable solutions or dispersion. In all cases, the form must be sterile and must be fluid to the extent that easy syringability exists. It must be stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage and must be preserved against the contaminating action of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi. The carrier can be a solvent or dispersion medium containing, for example, water, ethanol, polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, and polyethylene glycol, and the like), suitable mixtures thereof, and vegetable oils. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the use of a coating such as lecithin, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersion and by the use of surfactants. Prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, benzyl alcohol, sorbic acid, and the like. In many cases, it will be reasonable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monosterate and gelatin. 
     Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the purified enzyme (if any) and the PC (e.g., migalastat or salt thereof) in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filter or terminal sterilization. Generally, dispersions are prepared by incorporating the various sterilized active ingredients into a sterile vehicle which contains the basic dispersion medium and the required other ingredients from those enumerated above. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, the preferred methods of preparation are vacuum drying and the freeze-drying technique which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient from previously sterile-filtered solution thereof. 
     The formulation can contain an excipient. Pharmaceutically acceptable excipients which may be included in the formulation are buffers such as citrate buffer, phosphate buffer, acetate buffer, and bicarbonate buffer, amino acids, urea, alcohols, ascorbic acid, phospholipids; proteins, such as serum albumin, collagen, and gelatin; salts such as EDTA or EGTA, and sodium chloride; liposomes; polyvinylpyrollidone; sugars, such as dextran, mannitol, sorbitol, and glycerol; propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol (e.g., PEG-4000, PEG-6000); glycerol; glycine or other amino acids; and lipids. Buffer systems for use with the formulations include citrate; acetate; bicarbonate; and phosphate buffers. Phosphate buffer is a preferred embodiment. 
     The route of administration of the chaperone compound may be oral or parenteral, including intravenous, subcutaneous, intra-arterial, intraperitoneal, ophthalmic, intramuscular, buccal, rectal, vaginal, intraorbital, intracerebral, intradermal, intracranial, intraspinal, intraventricular, intrathecal, intracisternal, intracapsular, intrapulmonary, intranasal, transmucosal, transdermal, or via inhalation. 
     Administration of the above-described parenteral formulations of the chaperone compound may be by periodic injections of a bolus of the preparation, or may be administered by intravenous or intraperitoneal administration from a reservoir which is external (e.g., an i.v. bag) or internal (e.g., a bioerodable implant). 
     Embodiments relating to pharmaceutical formulations and administration may be combined with any of the other embodiments of the invention, for example embodiments relating to methods of treating patients with Fabry disease, methods of treating ERT-naïve Fabry patients, methods of treating ERT-experienced Fabry patients, methods of reducing LVM, methods of reducing LVMi, methods of normalizing LVMi, methods of reducing podocyte GL-3, methods of reducing podocyte volume, methods of reducing GL-3 inclusion volume in podocytes, methods of enhancing α-Gal A in a patient diagnosed with or suspected of having Fabry disease, use of a pharmacological chaperone for α-Gal A for the manufacture of a medicament for treating a patient diagnosed with Fabry disease or to a pharmacological chaperone for α-Gal A for use in treating a patient diagnosed with Fabry disease as well as embodiments relating to amenable mutations, the PCs and suitable dosages thereof. 
     In one or more embodiments, the PC (e.g., migalastat or salt thereof) is administered in combination with ERT. ERT increases the amount of protein by exogenously introducing wild-type or biologically functional enzyme by way of infusion. This therapy has been developed for many genetic disorders, including lysosomal storage disorders such as Fabry disease, as referenced above. After the infusion, the exogenous enzyme is expected to be taken up by tissues through non-specific or receptor-specific mechanism. In general, the uptake efficiency is not high, and the circulation time of the exogenous protein is short. In addition, the exogenous protein is unstable and subject to rapid intracellular degradation as well as having the potential for adverse immunological reactions with subsequent treatments. In one or more embodiments, the chaperone is administered at the same time as replacement enzyme (e.g., replacement α-Gal A). In some embodiments, the chaperone is co-formulated with the replacement enzyme (e.g., replacement α-Gal A). 
     In one or more embodiments, a patient is switched from ERT to migalastat therapy. In some embodiments, a patient on ERT is identified, the patient&#39;s ERT is discontinued, and the patient begins receiving migalastat therapy. The migalastat therapy can be in accordance with any of the methods described herein. 
     Left Ventricular Mass 
     The dosing regimens described herein can improve LVM or LVMi in Fabry patients. The natural history of LVMi and cardiac hypertrophy in untreated Fabry patients regardless of phenotype (Patel, O&#39;Mahony et al. 2015) is a progressive increase in LVMi between +4.07 and +8.0 g/m 2 /year (Kampmann, Linhart et al. 2008; Wyatt, Henley et al. 2012; Germain, Weidemann et al. 2013). As untreated Fabry patients typically exhibit an increase in LVMi over time, both decreases in and maintenance of LVMi are indications of a benefit of migalastat therapy. As described in further detail in the Examples below, Phase 3 studies have found that migalastat therapy decreases LVMi in both ERT-experienced and ERT-naïve patients, with even greater reductions in LVMi shown in patients with LVH at baseline. These Phase 3 studies also found that migalastat therapy normalizes LVMi in some patients with LVH. Accordingly, migalastat therapy can be used to treat Fabry patients by reducing LVM, reducing LVMi and/or normalizing LVMi in ERT-naïve and/or ERT-experienced Fabry patients, including patients with LVH. 
     The Phase 3 studies of migalastat therapy evaluated LVMi, which is considered a more accurate measure than LVM. Also, in the Phase 3 studies, the echocardiograms were conducted locally, but the echocardiograms were all centrally read by the same reader. Using the same reader to centrally read the echocardiograms improves accuracy compared to reading the echocardiograms locally. 
     The migalastat therapy may reduce the increase in LVMi for a Fabry patient compared to the same patient without treatment with migalastat therapy. In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy provides a change in LVMi for a patient that is less than (i.e., more negative than) 0 g/m 2 , such as less than or equal to about −0.5, −1, −1.5, −2, −2.5, −3, −3.5, −4, −4.5, −5, −5.5, −6, −7, −8, −9, −10, −11, −12, −13, −14, −15, −16, −17, −18, −19 or −20 g/m 2 . Expressed differently, in one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy provides a reduction in LVMi of greater than 0 g/m 2 , such as reductions of at least about 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 or 20 g/m 2 . 
     In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy provides an average decrease of LVMi in a group of ERT-experienced patients of at least about 1 g/m 2  after 18 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof. In various embodiments, the average decrease in the group of ERT-experienced patients after 18 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof is at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 g/m 2 , such as about 6.6 g/m 2 . 
     In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy provides an average decrease of LVMi in a group of ERT-experienced patients of at least about 1 g/m 2  after 18 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof.

     In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy provides an average decrease of LVMi in a group of ERT-experienced patients with LVH of at least about 1 g/m 2  after 30 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof. In various embodiments, the average decrease in the group of ERT-experienced patients with LVH after 30 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof is at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 8 or 9 g/m 2 , such as about 9 g/m 2 . 
     In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy provides an average decrease of LVMi in a group of ERT-naïve patients of at least about 1 g/m 2  after 18 to 24 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof. In various embodiments, the average decrease in the group of ERT-naïve patients after 18 to 24 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof is at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 g/m 2 , such as about 7.7 g/m 2 .

     In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy provides an average decrease of LVMi in a group of ERT-naïve patients of at least about 1 g/m 2  after 30 to 36 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof. In various embodiments, the average decrease in the group of ERT-naïve patients after 30 to 36 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof is at least about 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 or 17 g/m 2 , such as about 17 g/m 2 .

     Podocyte GL-3 and Podocyte Volume 
     The dosing regimens described herein can improve one or more parameters related to podocytes in Fabry patients. Fabry patients typically accumulate GL-3 in podocyte cells. As described in further detail in the Examples below, a Phase 3 study has found that migalastat therapy reduces mean podocyte volume and reduces mean podocyte GL-3 inclusion volume. Accordingly, migalastat therapy can be used to treat Fabry patients by reducing podocyte GL-3, reducing podocyte volume and/or reducing GL-3 inclusion volume in podocytes. 
     The Phase 3 study of migalastat therapy evaluated podocyte GL-3 according to two methodologies. In the first methodology, a qualitative comparison of GL-3 for podocytes was performed, as a reliable quantitative approach was not available at the time of this study. The pathologists assessed side-by-side digital images of baseline and post-baseline biopsies (blinded to treatment assignment and visit date), and categorized the biopsies as having more, less or equal GL-3 in the podocytes. Of note, if a score of either more or less GL-3 was assigned, then this indicates that there was a visually apparent change in GL-3 between baseline and post-baseline. Three pathologists determined in a blinded fashion whether paired biopsies had an “equal” number of GL-3 inclusions within each cell type, or whether one in the pair had “less” or “more” inclusions. If 2 pathologists agreed on “less” or “more” that agreed value was assigned, otherwise a designation of “equal” was retained. Results were summarized as percent of specimens with increases, decreases, or no change in GL-3 inclusions relative to baseline. 
     In the second methodology, a post-hoc analysis was performed using stereological principles to estimate structural parameters including average podocyte volume, fractional volume of GL-3 inclusions within podocytes, and total volume of GL-3 inclusions per podocyte. These stereological principles, which are based on stochastic geometry and statistics, are designed to be unbiased, efficient, and reproducible. Electron microscopic images (˜30,000×), taken according to a systematic, unbiased, uniform random sampling method from glomeruli were used to estimate fractional volume (Vv) of GL-3 inclusions in podocytes [Vv(Inc/PC)]. Grids with appropriate point densities were superimposed over the images. The parameters were calculated by dividing the number of grid points hitting GL-3 inclusions by the number of grid points hitting cytoplasm of glomerular podocytes. 
     In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy may reduce the podocyte volume for a Fabry patient compared to the same patient without treatment with migalastat therapy. In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy reduces the podocyte volume by at least about 10%, such as at least about 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50%. 
     In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy provides an average reduction of podocyte volume in a group of ERT-naïve patients of at least about 10% after 6 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof. In various embodiments, the average reduction in the group of ERT-naïve patients after 6 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof is at least about 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50%, such as about 47%. 
     In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy may reduce the total GL-3 inclusion volume per podocyte for a Fabry patient compared to the same patient without treatment with migalastat therapy. In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy reduces the podocyte GL-3 inclusion volume by at least about 10%, such as at least about 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50%. 
     In one or more embodiments, the migalastat therapy provides an average reduction of total GL-3 inclusion volume per podocyte in a group of ERT-naïve patients of at least about 10% after 6 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof. In various embodiments, the average reduction in the group of ERT-naïve patients after 6 months of administration of migalastat or a salt thereof is at least about 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 or 50%, such as about 50%. 
     EXAMPLES 
     Example 1: Dosing Regimens for the Treatment of ERT-Naïve Fabry Patients Using Migalastat Hydrochloride 
     This example describes a Phase 3 study of migalastat therapy in ERT-naïve Fabry patients. 
     Patient Enrollment. 
     Eligible patients were 16-74 years old and had genetically-confirmed Fabry disease; had either never received or had not received ERT for ≥6 months; had a GLA mutation that resulted in a mutant protein that would respond to migalastat, based on the human embryonic kidney-293 (HEK) assay used at the time of enrollment; had an eGFR &gt;30 ml/minute/1.73 m 2 , and had a urinary GL-3≥4 times the upper limit of normal. 
     Study Design. 
     Following eligibility-baseline assessments (2 months), patients were randomized to Stage 1—6 months of double-blind administration of 150 mg migalastat hydrochloride or placebo every other day. All patients completing Stage 1 were eligible to receive open-label migalastat in Stage 2 (months 6-12) and for an additional year (months 13-24) thereafter. The primary objective was to compare the effect of migalastat to placebo on kidney GL-3 as assessed by histological scoring of the number of inclusions in interstitial capillaries after 6 months of treatment. The secondary objectives of Stage 1 were to compare the effect of migalastat to placebo on urine GL-3 levels, on renal function, 24-hours urinary protein, and on safety and tolerability. The tertiary objectives were cardiac function, patient-reported outcomes, exploratory kidney analyses, and white blood cell α-Gal A activity. Study completers were eligible to enroll in the open-label extension study for up to 5 years. 
     Kidney Histology Assessment. 
     Each patient underwent a baseline kidney biopsy, as well as repeat kidney biopsies at 6 and 12 months. The number of GL-3 inclusions per kidney interstitial capillary per patient at baseline, and at 6 and 12 months was quantitatively assessed in 300 capillaries by 3 independent pathologists blinded to treatment and visit. All values for each individual biopsy at a given time were averaged prior to statistical analysis. 
     GL-3 changes in podocytes, endothelial cells, and mesangial cells, and glomerular sclerosis, were assessed qualitatively by the same 3 pathologists blinded to treatment/visit. 
     Globotriaosylceramide and Globotriaosylsphingosine. 
     Plasma lyso-Gb3 and 24-hour urine GL-3 were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass-spectroscopy using a novel stable isotope-labeled internal standard, 13C6-lyso-Gb3 (lower-limit-of-quantification: 0.200 ng/mL, 0.254 nmol/L). 
     Renal Function Assessment. 
     Annualized rates of change (mL/min/1.73 m 2 /year) were calculated using Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration-eGFR CKD-EPI ) and measured iohexol clearance-mGFR iohexol ). 
     Echocardiography. 
     LVMi, left posterior wall thickness, diastolic, interventricular septum thickness, diastolic and other parameters were assessed through blinded, centralized evaluation. 
     Patient-Reported Outcomes. 
     Patient-reported outcomes were assessed using the Gastrointestinal-Symptoms-Rating-Scale (GSRS), Short Form-36v2™ and Brief-Pain-Inventory-Pain-Severity-Component. 
     Safety Analysis and Adverse Events. 
     Randomized patients receiving ≥1 dose were included in the safety analysis, which comprised vital signs, physical exams, electrocardiograms, clinical labs, and adverse events. 
     Statistical Analyses for Kidney Interstitial Capillary GL-3 Substrate. 
     The primary Stage 1 (6 month) endpoint (ITT population with baseline biopsies, n=64) was the proportion of patients in the migalastat and placebo groups with a ≥50% reduction in GL-3 inclusions per interstitial capillary. Two other Stage 1 endpoints were assessed (modified-ITT population: randomized patients with paired baseline and month 6 biopsies; n=60): percent change in GL-3 inclusions per interstitial capillary, and percent of interstitial capillaries with zero GL-3 inclusions. 
     Efficacy analyses for GL-3 inclusions per interstitial capillary and other prespecified endpoints in Stage 2 (months 6-12) and the open-label-extension (months 12-24) were based on the modified intention to treat (mITT)—population consisting of randomized patients with mutant α-Gal A enzyme shown to be suitable for migalastat treatment by the validated assay; n=50). 
     Results 
     Baseline Characteristics. 
     Sixty-seven patients (16-74 years-old; 64% female) with potentially responsive mutant α-Gal A were randomized (ITT population). Table 2 provides the baseline characteristics for the 50 patients in the ITT population with suitable mutant α-Gal A. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline parameters.

     Published reports of clinical phenotype(s) associated with the genotypes of patients with suitable mutations (n=50) indicate that 30 (60%) had mutations associated with the classic phenotype of Fabry disease, one (2%) with the non-classic phenotype, three (6%) with both phenotypes, and 16 (32%) not yet classified. Residual WBC α-Gal A activity &lt;3% was found in 14 of 16 (87%) males; 29 of 31 (94%) males and females had elevated plasma lyso-Gb3, and 47 of 50 (94%) males and females had multi-organ system disease. 
     Migalastat and Kidney Interstitial Capillary GL-3. 
     In the 6-month primary outcome analysis (ITT), 13 of 32 (41%) migalastat and 9 of 32 (28%) placebo-treated patients achieved a response (≥50% reduction in GL-3 inclusions per interstitial capillary) (p=0.30). The median change in interstitial capillary GL-3 from baseline was −40.8% for migalastat versus −5.59% for placebo (p=0.097). The mean difference for the change in % of interstitial capillaries with zero GL-3 inclusions was 7.3% in favor of migalastat (p=0.042). 
     In Stage 1 (6-month post hoc) and Stage 2 (12-month prespecified) analyses (mITT-suitable population; n=45), 6 months of migalastat was associated with a significantly greater reduction in interstitial capillary GL-3 (±SEM) compared to placebo: −0.250±0.103 versus +0.071±0.126; p=0.008. The reduction in interstitial capillary GL-3 at 6 months remained stable following an additional 6 months of treatment. A significant reduction in interstitial capillary GL-3 (±SEM) was observed at 12 months in patients switching from placebo to migalastat at 6 months (−0.330±0.152; p=0.014). Patients with mutant α-Gal A that was not suitable for migalastat therapy according to the validated assay did not show any treatment effect in interstitial capillary GL-3. 
     Migalastat and GL-3 in Glomerular Cells. 
     Based on qualitative assessments on 23 kidney biopsies, following 12 months of migalastat, patients with responsive mutant α-Gal A showed decreases in glomerular podocyte (5 of 23 biopsies; 22%), endothelial cell (6 of 23 biopsies; 26%), and mesangial cell GL-3 (11 of 23 biopsies; 48%). None of the samples had increases; the remaining samples showed no change. 
     Migalastat and Plasma Lyso-Gb3 Levels. 
     Six months of migalastat (mITT-suitable) was associated with a significant reduction in plasma lyso-Gb3 levels compared to placebo (p=0.0033). Plasma lyso-Gb3 remained stable without further reduction following 6 additional months of migalastat. A significant reduction in plasma lyso-Gb3 was found in patients (ITT-suitable) switching from placebo to migalastat between 6 and 12 months (p&lt;0.0001). Plasma levels in patients with mutant α-Gal A that was not suitable were unchanged. 
     Migalastat and Urine GL-3 Substrate. 
     In patients with suitable mutant α-Gal A, mean changes in 24-hour urine GL-3 substrate (±SEM) concentration for migalastat and placebo (baseline to month 6) were: −361±169 (to 555±151) and −147±217 (to 1017±218) ng/mg creatinine, respectively (p=0.44). 
     Migalastat and Kidney Function. 
     There were no statistically significant differences between the migalastat and placebo arms in eGFR CKD-EPI , or mGFR iohexol  changes from baseline to month 6 (mITT-suitable). 
     In patients followed for up to 24 months of migalastat (mITT-suitable), the annualized changes in eGFR CKD-EPI , and mGFR iohexol  (±SEM) were −0.30±6.6, and −1.51±1.33 mL/min/1.73 m 2 , respectively. Male gender and higher baseline proteinuria were associated with higher rate of annual decline. There were no statistically significant differences in baseline levels or changes from baseline between treatment groups for 24-hour urine protein. 
     Migalastat and Echocardiographic Parameters. 
     At baseline, left-ventricular-mass-index was comparable between groups with no significant differences in Stage 1. 
     In patients (ITT-suitable), who received migalastat for up to 24 months, a statistically significant decrease in left-ventricular-mass-index (LVMi) (p&lt;0.05 based on the 95% CI not including 0) was observed overall with a trend toward a larger reduction in patients with baseline LV hypertrophy. Table 3 shows the echocardiographic-derived LVMi changes from baseline to month 18/24 for ITT-suitable patients.

     Interventricular septal wall thickness decreased by 0.061 cm±0.051 (5.2%) from baseline (1.17 cm±0.057) (95% CI: −1.67, 0.045); the left ventricular posterior wall thickness was stable for up to 24 months. The changes in left-ventricular-mass-index correlated with changes in IVSWT (R 2 =0.26, p=0.006) but not with changes in left ventricular posterior wall thickness (R 2 =0.06, p=0.230). 
     LVMi continued to decrease over 30/36 months of migalastat treatment in an extension of this study, with mean change from baseline of −17.0 g/m 2  ([95% CI −26.2, −7.9]; n=15)]. In patients with baseline LVH (n=11), the change from baseline was larger and statistically, −20.8 g/m 2  [−95% CI −57.9, −2.2]. The LVMi changes from baseline to after 6/12, 18/24 and 30/36 months of migalastat therapy are shown in  FIG. 3 . In the extension of the study to 30/36 months, 82% (9/11) and 46% (5/11) of the patients with LVH at baseline had reductions and normalizations of LVMi, respectively. 
     Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale. 
     Gastrointestinal symptoms improved in 3 of 5 domains (diarrhea, reflux, indigestion) in migalastat-treated ITT-suitable patients, as shown in Table 4 below. 
     For the diarrhea domain, between baseline and month 6 (Stage 1), there was a statistically significant decrease (p=0.03; ITT-suitable); a nonsignificant decrease was also observed for ITT-suitable patients with baseline symptoms (p=0.06). Statistically significant changes over 24 months were found for ITT-suitable patients and ITT-suitable patients with baseline symptoms (p&lt;0.05, based on the 95% CI not including 0). 
     There was a statistically significant improvement in the reflux domain in Stage 1 in ITT-suitable patients with baseline symptoms (p=0.047). Statistically significant changes over 24 months were found in the indigestion domain for ITT-suitable patients and ITT-suitable patients with baseline symptoms (p&lt;0.05 based on the 95% CI not including 0). There was a trend toward improvement in the constipation domain.

     Migalastat and Podocyte GL-3. 
     Kidney biopsy samples from ERT-naïve male patients with Fabry disease with GLA mutations amenable to migalastat (N=8), taken at baseline and again after 6 months of migalastat treatment, were studied by masked unbiased electron microscopy stereology. The mean±SD total volume of GL-3 inclusions per podocyte V(Inc/PC) of all patients decreased from 2568±1408 μm 3  at baseline to 1282±792 μm 3  after 6 months of migalastat (p=0.0182), as shown in  FIG. 4 . Thus, the reduction in V(Inc/PC) was approximately 50%. There was a correlated reduction in mean podocyte volume from 6680±2835 μm 3  at baseline to 3525±2084 μm 3  (p=0.004) after 6 months of migalastat (r=0.98, p=0.00003), as shown in  FIG. 5 . Thus, the reduction in mean podocyte volume was approximately 47%. These findings indicate that the podocyte cytoplasmic shrinkage was proportional to GL-3 loss; thus, the volume fraction of podocyte cytoplasm attributable to GL-3 did not change significantly. The magnitude of podocyte GL-3 volume reduction following migalastat correlated with improvement of foot process width (r=0.82, p=0.02), as shown in  FIG. 6 . Mean plasma lyso-Gb3 also decreased from 118±48 nM at baseline to 75±42 nM after 6 months of migalastat (p=0.0004), as shown in  FIG. 7 . This decrease correlated with the percent reduction in podocyte GL-3 volume (r=0.79, p=0.02). There was a trend between decrease in podocyte GL-3 volume and proteinuria (r=0.69, p=0.06) following treatment with migalastat for 6 months as shown in  FIG. 8 , but no association was found with glomerular filtration rate. In this study, migalastat treatment was associated with a loss of GL-3 inclusions in podocytes in patients with Fabry disease. The sensitive quantitative method used can assess treatment efficacy for this important cell type over a relatively short period of time. This methodology is also more sensitive than other methodologies, including the methodologies used previously in Phase 2 studies and the first methodology described earlier in this example relating to qualitative assessment of podocyte GL-3. 
     Safety and Adverse Events. 
     During Stage 1, the treatment-emergent adverse events were similar between groups. Adverse events with a higher frequency in patients receiving migalastat compared to placebo were headache (12/34 patients—35% versus 7/33 patients—21%) and nasopharyngitis (6/34 patients—18% versus 2/34—6%). The most frequently reported adverse events for Stage 2 were headache (9/63 patients—14%) and procedural pain (7/63 patients—11%—related to kidney biopsies) and, for the open-label-extension, proteinuria (9/57 patients—16%), headache (6/57 patients—11%), and bronchitis (6/57 patients—11%). Most adverse events were mild or moderate in severity. No adverse events led to migalastat discontinuation. 
     Six patients experienced serious adverse events during Stage 1 (2: migalastat; 4: placebo), 5 during Stage 2, and 11 during the open-label-extension. Two serious adverse events were assessed as possibly related to migalastat by the investigator—fatigue and paresthesia. Both occurred in the same patient between months 12-24 and resolved. No individual serious adverse event was reported by &gt;1 patient. Two patients discontinued migalastat due to serious adverse events; both were deemed unrelated to migalastat. No deaths were reported. 
     Treatment-emergent proteinuria was reported in 9 patients (16%) between months 12-24, and in one case, was judged as migalastat-related. In 5 patients, the 24-month values were in the same range as baseline. Three patients with suitable mutations had overt baseline proteinuria (&gt;1 g/24-hr), which increased over 24 months. In 23/28 patients with baseline proteinuria &lt;300 mg/24-h, 24-hour urine protein remained stable during migalastat treatment. 
     There was no progression to end-stage renal disease, no cardiac death and no stroke as defined in Banikazemi et al. There was a single case of transient ischemic attack-judged unrelated to migalastat. 
     Analyses of vital sign, physical findings, laboratory, and ECG parameters did not reveal any clinically relevant effect of migalastat. 
     Example 2: Dosing Regimens for the Treatment of ERT-Experienced Fabry Patients Using Migalastat Hydrochloride 
     This example describes a Phase 3 study of migalastat therapy in ERT-experienced Fabry patients. 
     Patient Enrollment. 
     Eligible patients were 16-74 years old and had genetically-confirmed Fabry disease; had received ERT for ≥12 months; had a GLA mutation that resulted in a mutant protein that would respond to migalastat, based on the human embryonic kidney-293 (HEK) assay used at the time of enrollment; had an eGFR ≥30 ml/minute/1.73 m 2 ; and had an ERT dose level and regimen that had been stable for at least 3 months. 
     Study Design. 
     Following eligibility-baseline assessments, 57 patients were randomized to 18 months of migalastat therapy or ERT, followed by followed by 12 months of migalastat therapy. The migalastat dosing regimen was 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride every other day. The primary objective was to compare the effect of migalastat to ERT on renal function assessed by mGFR iohexol  after 18 months of treatment. The secondary objectives were to compare the effect of migalastat to ERT on: renal function (assessed by eGFR and 24-hour urine protein); composite clinical outcome (assessed by time to occurrence of renal, cardiac, cerebrovascular events or death); cardiac function (assessed by echocardiography) and patient reported outcomes (pain and quality of life). 
     Results 
     Migalastat and Echocardiographic Parameters. 
     This study of ERT-experienced patients found that migalastat therapy reduced LVMi. At month 18, mean changes from baseline were −6.6 g/m 2  (95% CI −11.0, −2.1; n=31) with migalastat and −2.0 g/m 2  (95% CI −11.0, 7.0; n=13) with ERT. In patients with LVH at baseline, the change in LVMi from baseline to month 18 was −8.4 g/m 2  (95% CI: −15.7, 2.6; n=13) for migalastat and 4.5 g/m 2  (95% CI: −10.7, 18.4; n=5) for ERT. 
     Patients treated with migalastat continued to show reductions in LVMi at month 30 (−3.8 g/m 2  [95% CI −8.9, 1.3]; n=30). Greater reductions were seen in patients with baseline LVH (n=13), with a change from baseline of −9.0 g/m 2  after 30 months of migalastat therapy. Among the Fabry patients with baseline LVH, 85% (11/13) had reductions and 31% (4/13) had normalizations of LVMi after 30 months of migalastat therapy. 
     Example 3: Comparison of Migalastat Dosing Regimens for the Treatment Fabry Disease 
     This example describes a series of Phase 2 studies of migalastat therapy in Fabry patients. 
     A range of doses and regimens were explored in five Phase 2 studies in 27 subjects (18 males and 9 females):
         Twice per day (BID) dosing of 25, 100, and 250 mg of migalastat hydrochloride;   Once per day (QD) dosing of 50 mg of migalastat hydrochloride;   Every other day (QOD) dosing of 50, 150, and 250 mg of migalastat hydrochloride; and   3 days on 4 days off dosing of 250 and 500 mg of migalastat hydrochloride.       

     In all, 9 different combinations of dosing amounts and dosing schedules were investigated in these Phase 2 studies. Fabry disease is a rare genetic disease, and due to the limited patient population and study sample size for this orphan disease, some of these doses and regimens explored were compared within or across subjects, while others were compared across studies. These five Phase 2 studies were designed to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of migalastat hydrochloride, with a focus on measures of white blood cell (WBC) α-Gal A activity and urine GL-3 reduction to assess the efficacy of different doses and regimens. WBC α-Gal A activity provides a repeatable, minimally invasive measure of the magnitude of enzyme activity increase associated with different doses of migalastat hydrochloride, and was correlated with less frequently assessed, invasive measures of enzyme activity in skin and kidney. Urine GL-3 provides a repeatable, minimally invasive measure of GL-3 breakdown within lysosomes, the penultimate step in the mechanism of action pathway. 
     In these Phase 2 studies, 150 mg every other day (QOD) resulted in the largest reductions in urine GL-3 in subjects with migalastat-responsive mutations and was generally well tolerated. The urine GL-3 levels for the QOD regimens are shown in  FIGS. 9 and 10 , and the 8 patients that were on the 150 mg QOD regimen and that had amenable mutations based on the HEK-293 cell-based assay are indicated by the arrows. 
     In one of the Phase 2 studies, patients were administered migalastat hydrochloride according to the following dosing schedule: 25 mg BID for the first two weeks; 100 mg BID for weeks 2-4; 200 mg BID for weeks 4-6; 25 mg BID for weeks 6-12; and an optional extension of the study at 50 mg per day dosing until up to week 96. The urine GL-3 results from this study are shown in Table 5 below.

     Twice-daily dosing at 25, 100 and 250 mg resulted in increases in α-Gal A activity. An increase in α-Gal A activity would be expected to have a positive treatment effect (such as a reduction in build-up of enzyme substrate GL-3). Unexpectedly, Table 5 above shows that there were urine GL-3 increases in a majority of subjects on the BID regimen, which indicates a possible negative effect. This increase in urine GL-3 was possibly due to the high frequency dose interval. When these subjects on a BID regimen were switched to 50 mg per day, some patients demonstrated reductions in urine GL-3, but results were not consistent across all patients. Although pharmacokinetic modelling indicated the 50 mg per day dose should provide exposure troughs below IC 50  (i.e. below inhibition), urine GL-3 was not as consistently reduced as it was with 150 mg QOD As can be seen by comparing  FIGS. 9 and 10  with Table 5, 150 mg QOD provided much larger and more consistent declines in urine GL-3 than dosing every day or twice a day. 
     A further study was intended to explore the possibility that less-frequent administration of higher doses of migalastat may provide greater substrate reduction than a 150 mg every other day regimen. Subjects were switched from 150 mg migalastat hydrochloride QOD to 250 mg administered once daily for 3 consecutive days (“on drug” period), followed by 4 days without dosing (“off drug” period) for 8 weeks and then 500 mg (3 days on, 4 days off) for at least 8 weeks. A few subjects showed an increase in WBC α-Gal A levels at the higher doses; however, some subjects also showed signs of increases in urine GL-3. As illustrated in Table 6 below, mean and median urine GL-3 levels increased after subjects were switched from 150 mg QOD to 250 and 500 mg 3 on 4 off. Mean and median urine GL-3 then went back down when subjects were switched back to 150 mg QOD. Additionally, a few subjects did not tolerate the higher doses.

     Based on the results of these studies, dosing every other day provides unexpected benefits that are not present with either daily or twice daily dosing. In particular, dosing every other day in resulted in the most consistent reductions in urine GL-3 in subjects with migalastat-responsive mutations. Indeed, many of the other dosing regimens actually lead to increases in urine GL-3. Dosing every other day also led to a more consistent decrease in urine GL-3 than 3 days on 4 days off dosing, and some of these patients on the 3 days on 4 days off dosing also showed an increase in urine GL-3. Returning to 150 mg QOD after the 3 days on 4 days off dosing lowered the mean and median urine GL-3 levels.
