Study summary

Type: Prospective, open-label, single center study

Duration: 6 months with an optional 12-month extension phase

Participants: 12 pediatric patients diagnosed with type III Gaucher disease (GD3) aged ≥3 to ≤18 years old treatment naïve or on enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). They will be treated with high-dose Ambroxol (mean 35mg/kg bodyweight).

Location: The Children's Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan.

Read the detailed description

This single-center, prospective, open-label study investigates the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of high-dose Ambroxol in pediatric patients with genetically confirmed Type III Gaucher Disease (GD3). The study will enroll 12 participants aged 3 to 18 years, either treatment naïve or receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). Participants will receive high-dose Ambroxol orally (mean 35 mg/kg bodyweight) over a 6-month period, with an optional 12-month extension.

Primary Objective:

Evaluate the safety and tolerability of high-dose Ambroxol administered with or without ERT.

Secondary Objective:

Assess efficacy based on at least a 20% improvement in at least 50% of participants using the following measures:

  • Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) for patients with ataxia
  • Unified Myoclonus Rating Scale (UMRS) for patients with myoclonic epilepsy
  • Lyso-Gb1 levels in peripheral blood after at least 6 months of treatment

Intervention:

High-dose Ambroxol administered orally (mean 35 mg/kg bodyweight)

Study Location:

The Children's Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan

This study aims to provide preliminary safety and efficacy data on Ambroxol as a therapeutic option for pediatric patients with GD3, potentially informing future larger-scale clinical trials.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Pediatric patients aged 3 to 18 years
  • Genetically confirmed Type III Gaucher Disease (GD3)
  • Treatment naïve or receiving enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)
  • SARA score ≥ 8
  • Sexually active females must agree to use
  • All participants must not be pregnant or breastfeeding

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Life-threatening visceral disease (related or unrelated to Gaucher Disease)
  • Blood transfusion dependency
  • cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, neurologic, endocrine, or psychiatric conditions
  • Serious swallowing difficulties
  • Renal insufficiency ( \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m²)
  • Recent chaperone therapy or treatment within the last 6 months
  • Pregnancy or lactation
  • History of cancer, drug or alcohol abuse, major organ transplant, or inability to adhere to study requirements
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

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.

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.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

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.

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 Aug 24, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
