E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
|
E.1.1.1 | Medical condition in easily understood language |
Gaucher disease is caused by a defective enzyme. Due to this, fatty substances build up in the cells of the body, especially in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. |
|
E.1.1.2 | Therapeutic area | Diseases [C] - Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases [C18] |
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | Yes |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety of VPRIV by assessing the incidence of serious treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) when administered every other week (EOW) up to 51 weeks by intravenous (IV) infusion to Chinese subjects with type 1 Gaucher disease. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the study include assessing: - Other safety parameters of VPRIV (including the incidence of TEAEs and infusion-related reactions (IRRs) and rates of antibody formation) - The effect of VPRIV on hematologic manifestations - The effect of VPRIV on the liver and spleen volume - The effect of VPRIV on quality of life (QoL) - The pharmacokinetic (PK) of VPRIV - The effect of VPRIV on disease biomarkers |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Has a documented, confirmed diagnosis of type 1 Gaucher disease based on the following, as determined by the investigator: a. Decreased glucocerebrosidase (GCB) activity level that is ≤30% of normal; or b. Decreased GCB activity level that is >30% of normal, but with confirmation of genetic mutation test - Is at least 2 years of age, inclusive, at screening - Is naive to treatment for Gaucher disease (Has not received treatment for Gaucher disease [investigational or approved products] within the 12 months prior to screening) OR Is receiving or has recently received Imiglucerase ERT (Has received Imiglucerase treatment within the 12 months prior to screening and not within the 14 days prior to screening) - Has Gaucher disease-related hematological abnormalities, defined as: a. Hemoglobin levels of ≥1 g/dL below the lower limit of normal for their age and gender AND/OR b. A platelet count of <90 × 109/L below the lower limit of normal for their age and gender - Has Gaucher disease-related viscera abnormalities, defined as the following: Participant has at least moderate splenomegaly, assessed by palpation (2 to 3 cm below the left costal margin), or by abdominal radiology scan (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] or computed tomography [CT] scan, with spleen volume >5 times normal) AND/OR Participant has hepatomegaly, assessed by palpation or by abdominal radiology scan (MRI or CT scan); Participants who have undergone splenectomy must have satisfied these criteria for this study.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Has type 2 or 3 Gaucher disease or is suspected of having type 3 Gaucher disease as assessed by the investigator - Has had a splenectomy or an active, clinically significant spleen infarction within the 12 months prior to screening - Has received treatment with any investigational drug or device within 30 days prior to screening, or within 5 half-lives of that investigational product, whichever is greater; such treatment during the study will not be permitted - Is currently receiving red blood cell growth factor (eg, erythropoietin), chronic systemic corticosteroids, or has been on such treatment within the 6 months prior to screening - Has a positive test result at screening for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) with detectable hepatitis B viral DNA load, hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody with confirmation by HCV RNA polymerase chain reaction testing, and HIV antibody - Presents with non-Gaucher disease related exacerbated anemia at screening (eg, due to iron, folic acid, and/or vitamin B12 deficiency or infectious/immune-mediated causes). Participants who have a folic acid deficiency, vitamin B12-deficiency-related anemia, or iron-deficiency-related anemia during screening do not meet the study entry criteria and will be considered a screening failure. Participants may be treated for the underlying disease and be rescreened as judged by investigator. Rescreening will be permitted once only - Participant, participant’s parent(s), or participant’s legal guardian(s) is/are unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study - Has a significant comorbidity, in the opinion of the investigator, that might affect the study data or confound the study results (eg, malignancies, primary biliary cirrhosis, or autoimmune liver disease) - Is unable to comply with the protocol (eg, has a clinically relevant medical condition making implementation of the protocol difficult, an uncooperative attitude, is unable to return to the site for safety evaluations, or is otherwise unlikely to complete the study), as determined by the investigator - Has experienced a severe (grade 3 or higher) infusion-related hypersensitivity reaction (anaphylactic or anaphylactoid reaction) to any ERT (approved or investigational). Note: Participants with a historical positive antibody result to Imiglucerase but without a severe infusion-related hypersensitivity reaction will not be excluded
