Study summary

Primary Objective:

Evaluated the safety and pharmacokinetics of eliglustat in pediatric participants (≥2 to \<18 years old).

Secondary Objective:

Evaluated the efficacy of eliglustat and quality of life in pediatric participants (≥2 to \<18 years old).

Read the detailed description

The study included a screening period of up to 60 days (Day -60 to -1), a primary analysis treatment period (Day 1 to Week 52), a long-term treatment period (Week 53 to Week 104), and an extension period continuing up to Week 364 (for patients who continue to demonstrate the clinical benefit from eliglustat monotherapy at Week 104). After study completion, participants were encouraged to enroll in the International Collaborative Gaucher Group (ICGG) Gaucher Registry.

Inclusion criteria

  • The participant were 2 to \<18 years old at the time of .

  • Postmenarchal female participants had a documented negative pregnancy test prior to enrollment and throughout the study. Participants had to be willing to practice true abstinence in line with their preferred and usual lifestyle, or used a medically accepted form of throughout the study.

Cohort 1 (Eliglustat monotherapy):

  • Participants must had been receiving an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for a minimum of 24 months at a monthly dose equivalent to 30 U/kg to 130 U/kg of Cerezyme® (imiglucerase) with treatment ongoing at the time of enrollment. Participants had to be at pre-specified treatment goals, as defined by:

Participants must had severe clinical manifestations of GD, as defined by the presence of at least one of the following:

    • GD related pulmonary disease such as interstitial lung disease (ILD). The diagnosis of ILD had to confirmed by the presence of reticulonodular densities on chest X-ray; AND/OR

  • Partial or total splenectomy if performed within 2 years prior to enrollment
  • The participant was transfusion dependent, a history of esophageal varices or liver infarction, elevated liver enzymes, significant congenital cardiac defect, coronary artery disease or left sided heart failure; arrhythmias or conduction defect such as Type 2 second degree or third degree atrioventricular (AV) block, complete bundle branch block, prolonged , or sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT).
  • The participant had any clinically significant disease other than GD.
  • The participant had neurological symptoms other than oculomotor apraxia at study entry.
  • The participant had received an product within 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • The participant was unable to receive treatment with imiglucerase due to a known or was unwilling to receive imiglucerase treatment every 2 weeks.
  • The participant had a known hereditary galactose intolerance, Lapp lactase deficiency or glucose galactose malabsorption, or is a CYP2D6 ultra-rapid metabolizer or indeterminate metabolizer.

The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a patient's potential participation in a clinical trial.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(8)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Cohort 1: Eliglustat monotherapy

    Eliglustat for at least two years. Cohort 1 patients that experience significant clinical decline will receive rescue treatment. Rescue Treatment Step 1: Switch from eliglustat to imiglucerase monotherapy. Rescue Treatment Step 2: Patients who after 6 months of rescue therapy with imiglucerase monotherapy do not show improvement in the parameter(s) that led to the switch from eliglustat to imiglucerase, will then receive combination therapy with eliglustat + imiglucerase.

    Drug: Eliglustat GZ385660

  • Experimental
    Cohort 2: Eliglustat plus imiglucerase

    Eliglustat plus imiglucerase for three years, at the dose of enzyme replacement therapy received before enrollment. After Week 52, Cohort 2 patients will switch to eliglustat monotherapy for the remainder of the study if the desired clinical response has been achieved.

Ran from Apr 2018 to primary completion in Dec 2025, 92 months.

Of 11 phase 3 interventional studies under Gaucher Disease, half reached primary completion within 25 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 57. This study's 92 months is above that.

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 Jun 16, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
