Brief Summary: Gaucher disease is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase GCB Due to this deficiency of functional GCB glucocerebroside accumulates within macrophages leading to cellular engorgement organomegaly and organ system dysfunction The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of every other week dosing of Gene-Activated Human Glucocerebrosidase GA-GCB velaglucerase alfa at doses of 45 and 60 Ukg in treatment-naïve patients with type 1 Gaucher disease
Detailed Description: Type 1 Gaucher disease the most common form accounts for more than 90 of all cases and does not involve the Central Nervous System CNS Typical manifestations of type 1 Gaucher disease include hepatomegaly splenomegaly thrombocytopenia bleeding tendencies anemia hypermetabolism skeletal pathology growth retardation pulmonary disease and decreased quality of life Gene-Activated human glucocerebrosidase GA-GCB velaglucerase alfa is produced in a continuous human cell line using proprietary gene-activation technology and has an identical amino acid sequence to the naturally occurring human enzyme Velaglucerase alfa contains terminal mannose residues that target the enzyme to the macrophages-the primary target cells in Gaucher disease This study was designed to determine the efficacy safety and pharmacokinetics of GA-GCB in men women and children with Type 1 Gaucher disease Each patients duration of treatment was 12 months
