研究概览

简要总结

The main objective of the study is to evaluate whether the use of prednisone - as an adjunctive treatment to standard therapy (ERT or CHT) - can effectively improve cardiac function by reducing myocardial inflammation, considered one of the key pathological mechanisms in Fabry cardiomyopathy.

结局指标

主要结局

Reduction in high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) levels by 50% at the end of GCS therapy compared to levels at the visit before starting GCS.

Reduction in high-sensitivity troponin T (hsTnT) levels by 50% at the end of GCS therapy compared to levels at the visit before starting GCS.

次要结局

  • Combined clinical outcome (death + cardiac arrest + unplanned cardiac hospitalization)
  • Quality of life measured by SF-36v.2; EQ-5D and KCCQ
  • Fabry disease progression assessed by dedicated Mainz Severity Score Index (MSSI), DS3 and FASTEX scores
  • Assessment of functional capacity using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and NYHA classification
  • Electrocardiographic abnormalities (brady- and tachyarrhythmias, autonomic tension)
  • Echocardiographic assessment (morphological and functional evaluation of the heart)
  • Cardiac MRI abnormalities (left ventricular mass, inflammation and fibrosis)
  • Biochemical biomarkers of the heart (CK-MB, NT-pro-BNP)
  • Substrate levels of FD-specific biomarkers ( Gb3 in urine and Lyso-Gb3 in serum)
  • Antidrug antibody (ADA) levels in patients on ERT
  • Levels of inflammatory cytokines (CRP, IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, TNF alpha, SAA)
  • Assessment of renal function with glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR), FGF2 and VEGFA
