Study summary

The study aims are to: a) identify the long-term natural history of Gaucher disease, b) evaluate long-term treatment efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and substrate reduction therapy (SRT), and c) identify potential long-term complications of this disorder. These aims will be accomplished through long-term record review of individuals with all three types of Gaucher disease.

Read the detailed description

The study aims (aims a-c) will be accomplished by the systematic monitoring of health records. Health information will be extracted from medical records for patients followed at Duke. Medical records will be requested from treating physicians outside of Duke. The PI, (Dr. Kishnani) a recognized expert in Gaucher disease, is a consultant to the treating physician of virtually all subjects in this study. Subject health status will be monitored at least on an annual basis and as regularly as the medical information is obtained from the treating physician. Enrollment in this study will not alter the standard of care treatment for patients with Gaucher disease.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Document effects of Gaucher disease in different systems of body, including nervous system, liver, and spleen.

    Use Gaucher patient's natural histories to understand effects of Gaucher Disease long term.

    Time frame: 10 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Document adverse events subjects experience on enzyme replacement therapy

    Use Gaucher patient's therapy history to understand effects of enzyme replacement therapy long term.

    Time frame: 10 years

  2. Document adverse events of subjects on substrate reduction therapy

    Use Gaucher patient's therapy history to understand effects of substrate reduction therapy long term.

    Time frame: 10 years

  3. Document long-term complications in Gaucher Disease.

    Use Gaucher patient's natural histories to understand long-term complications of Gaucher Disease.

    Time frame: 10 years

  4. Change in 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) collected every 6 months/1 year.

    We will use the SF-36 that will be collected every 6 months to 1 year to assess quality-of-life in Gaucher patients.

    Time frame: 10 years

  5. Change in Small Fiber Neuropathy Screening List (SFNSL) collected every 6 months/1 year.

    The investigators will use the Small Fiber Neuropathy Screening List every 6 months to 1 year to monitor small fiber neuropathy symptoms in Gaucher patients.

    Time frame: 10 years

  6. Document number of subjects experiencing neurological symptoms related to Gaucher, by using Neurological Follow-up exam

    The investigators will use the Neurological follow-up exam, that will be performed at return visit and every 6 months to 1 year afterward, to screen patients for neurological symptoms related to Gaucher Disease.

    Time frame: 10 years

  7. Change in Parkinson's checklist collected every 6 months/1 year.

    The investigators will use the Parkinson's checklist that will be collected every 6 months to 1 year to screen patients for Parkinson's symptoms potentially related to Gaucher Disease.

    Time frame: 10 years

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 3, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
