Study summary

The main aim of this study is to learn if velaglucerase alfa (VPRIV) improves growth and symptoms in participants up to 5 years of age with Gaucher disease. Symptoms will be checked with blood tests.

This study is about collecting data available in the participant's medical record as well as data from each participant's ongoing treatment. No study medicines will be provided to participants in this study. The study sponsor will not be involved in how participants are treated but will provide instructions on how the clinics will record what happens during the study.

When the participants start the study, they will visit the study clinic every 6 months after their first visit.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change From Baseline in Hemoglobin (Hb) Level

    Increase hemoglobin levels up to 11.0 gram per deciliter (g/dL) will be assessed.

    Time frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age

  2. Percent Change From Baseline in Platelet Count Increase

    Percent change from baseline for platelet count increase will be assessed.

    Time frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age

  3. Percent Change From Baseline in Liver Volume

    Percent change from baseline in liver volume will be assessed.

    Time frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age

  4. Percent Change From Baseline for Spleen Volume

    Percent change from baseline for spleen volume will be assessed.

    Time frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age

  5. Percentage of Participants With Growth Normalization

    Percentage of participants with growth normalization will be assessed.

    Time frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age

  6. Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Bone Disease

    Percentage of participants with improvement in bone disease will be assessed.

    Time frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age

  7. Percentage of Participants With Improvement in Thrombocytopenia

    Percentage of participants with improvement in thrombocytopenia will be assessed.

    Time frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An SAE is any event that results in: death; life-threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or results in prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; a congenital anomaly/birth defect or a medically important event. AEs include SAEs, non-serious AEs.

    Time frame: From start of ERT initiation up to 5 years of age
