Treatment of Fabry's Disease With Migalastat: Outcome From a Prospective Observational Multicenter Study (FAMOUS).

2019

Fabry's disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (alpha-Gal A) leading to intracellular accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Patients with amenable mutations can be treated with migalastat, a recently approved oral pharmacologic chaperone to increase endogenous alpha-Gal A activity. We assessed safety along with cardiovascular, renal, and patient-reported outcomes and disease biomarkers in a prospective observational multicenter study after 12 months of migalastat treatment under real-world conditions. Fifty-nine (28 females) patients (34 (57.6%) pretreated with enzyme replacement therapy) w…

Rapid Steroid Withdrawal after Renal Transplantation Reduces Mortality: Five Year Follow-Up of a Randomized Controlled Trial (Harmony Study) Confirms…

2021

Background: We previously reported excellent efficacy and improved safety aspects of rapid steroid withdrawal (RSWD) in the randomized controlled one year “Harmony” trial, in which 587 predominantly deceased-donor kidney transplant recipients were randomized either to basiliximab or rabbit ATG induction therapy and compared to standard immunosuppressive therapy consisting of basiliximab, low tacrolimus once daily, mycophenolate mofetil, and corticosteroids. Methods: Following the end of the original one-year study period, patients were asked to participate in the observational follow-up (FU) study examining most of the end points of the original study. Hereby, de novo incidences between yea…

Treatment of Fabry Disease management with migalastat-outcome from a prospective 24 months observational multicenter study (FAMOUS).

2020

Abstract Aims Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme α-galactosidase A (GLA/AGAL), resulting in the lysosomal accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Patients with amenable GLA mutations can be treated with migalastat, an oral pharmacological chaperone increasing endogenous AGAL activity. In this prospective observational multicentre study, safety as well as cardiovascular, renal, and patient-reported outcomes and disease biomarkers were assessed after 12 and 24 months of migalastat treatment under ‘real-world’ conditions. Methods and results A total of 54 patients (26 females) (33 of these [61.1%] pre-treated with en…
