Study of the Effects of Oral AT1001 (Migalastat Hydrochloride) in Patients With Fabry Disease
- Registration Number
- NCT00925301
- Lead Sponsor
- Amicus Therapeutics
- Brief Summary
The primary objective of this study was to compare the effect of migalastat (123 milligrams \[mg\] of migalastat \[equivalent to 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride\]) (migalastat) versus placebo on kidney globotriaosylceramide (GL-3).
- Detailed Description
This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study was conducted in 67 participants at 46 sites worldwide. The study consisted of 2 stages and an optional open-label treatment extension phase:
Stage 1 included a screening period of up to 2 months followed by a 6-month treatment period which involved 4 visits to the clinic. Participants were randomized in equal proportions to receive either migalastat or placebo.
After completing the 6-month double-blind phase, all participants entered Stage 2 of the study and received migalastat in an open-label manner. Stage 2 treatment lasted for 6 months and involved up to 4 visits to the clinic.
Participants who completed both Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the study as scheduled were offered the opportunity to participate in an open-label treatment extension phase with migalastat. The open-label treatment extension phase lasted 12 months and involved 2 visits to the clinic. A follow-up visit was undertaken 1 month following completion or discontinuation from the open-label treatment extension. Participants completing the 12-month open-label treatment extension and providing consent to enter a separate long-term extension were not required to complete this follow-up visit.
Study assessments included clinical laboratory tests, 12-lead electrocardiogram, kidney biopsy, kidney function testing, echocardiography, and patient-reported outcomes.

Group Intervention Description Migalastat migalastat hydrochloride Migalastat 150-mg capsule taken orally every other day (QOD) for 6 months and an open-label 6-month treatment extension, followed by an optional, 12-month, open-label treatment extension. Placebo Placebo Placebo capsule taken orally QOD for 6 months.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Percentage Of Participants With At Least A 50% Reduction From Baseline To Month 6 In The Average Number Of Kidney Interstitial Capillary (IC) Globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) Inclusions Baseline, Month 6 Renal biopsies were taken at Baseline and Month 6 (Stage 1). The specimens were evaluated using virtual microscopy. The annotation, scoring, and adjudication of the kidney histology assessments were performed by the Clinical Pathology Endpoints Committee. The number of kidney IC GL-3 inclusions was assessed by 3 renal pathologists who were blinded to treatment assignments, participants' data, and biopsy sequence. One pathologist served as annotator and identified the 300 capillaries on up to 8 slides per specimen to be scored. Two pathologists served as scorers; these pathologists completed the blinded paired assessments. Each pathologist served as annotator/adjudicator for 1/3 of the cases. Paired assessments were undertaken at Baseline and Month 6. Assessments were made using digital images. A responder was defined as a participant with a ≥50% reduction from Baseline to Month 6 in the average number of kidney IC GL-3 inclusions.

Change From Baseline Through Month 24 In Urine GL-3 Levels Baseline, Months 6, 12, and 24 The effect of migalastat versus placebo on urine GL-3 levels was measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry. The 24-hour urine samples were collected at Baseline, Month 6 (Stage 1), Month 12 (Stage 2), and Month 24 (OLE). Results are presented as changes in nanograms (ng)/mg creatinine from Baseline to the end of the 3 stages.
