Study summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn how well lucerastat works and how safe it is in untreated adult male participants with Fabry disease.

The main question this clinical trial aims to answer is:

  • Does treatment with lucerastat affects the amount of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3), a fatty substance that builds up in the kidneys, in untreated adult men with Fabry disease?

This is an open-label, single-arm trial, which means that participants will know which trial medication they receive and only one trial medication will be given.

Trial participants will:

  • Take lucerastat every day for 18 months
  • Have kidney biopsies at the end and start of the trial
  • Visit the clinic 10 times for check-up and tests
  • Take part in the trial for up to 21 months in total

  • Screening (central laboratory) ≥ 45 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any intercurrent condition or concomitant therapy considered a for kidney , as per local standard of care, or in the investigator's opinion may preclude accurate interpretation of trial data.
  • Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio > 300 mg/g at screening (central laboratory) unless treated with background therapy, such as Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, Angiotensin receptor blocker or Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, as per local practice.

  • Congestive heart failure class IV or hospitalization for heart failure within 3 months prior to screening.
  • Implementation of cardiac device (e.g., pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator, cardiac resynchronization therapy device) or hospitalization for arrhythmia within 6 weeks prior to screening.
  • Any other known factor or disease that might interfere with treatment compliance, trial conduct, or interpretation of the results, such as drug or alcohol dependence or psychiatric disease including:

Applicable only to Canada and United Kingdom: severe depression or suicidal ideation at screening or history of suicide attempt or behavior within 6 months prior to screening visit.

Applicable only to Europe and United States:

Any of the following:

  1. moderate depression (defined as BDI-II score > 20 and ≤ 28) if the participant does not agree to a consultation before Visit 2 with an appropriately qualified mental health professional or
  2. severe depression (i.e., Beck Depression Inventory-II [BDI-II] score > 28) or
  3. suicidal ideation at screening or history of suicide attempt or behavior within 12 months prior to screening visit.

    • Previous exposure to gene or cell therapy.
    • Use of cationic amphiphilic drugs, such as amiodarone or hydroxychloroquine that may preclude accurate interpretation of kidney biopsy data within 6 months prior to screening.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(10)

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.

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.

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.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

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.

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).

HbA1c

A blood test of average blood sugar over the past two to three months, given as a percentage or in mmol/mol. 6.5% (48 mmol/mol) or more is the usual threshold for diabetes, normally confirmed by a second test.

TIA (transient ischaemic attack)

A “mini-stroke”: temporary stroke-like symptoms caused by reduced blood flow to part of the brain, spinal cord or eye, without signs of a new stroke on a scan.

Stroke symptoms need emergency care at once, even if they go away.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline to Month 18 in kidney Gb3 BLISS score (average number of Gb3 inclusions per kidney peritubular capillary (PTC)).

    Barisoni Lipid Inclusion Scoring System (BLISS) is a quantitative scoring methodology for determining the number of GB3 inclusions in PTCs. A higher BLISS score is indicative of more severe disease on the histologic level.

    Time frame: Baseline and Month 18

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change from baseline to Month 18 in plasma Gb3 concentration.

    Time frame: Baseline and Month 18

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.
