A Safety and Efficacy Study of Two Dose Levels of Taliglucerase Alfa in Pediatric Subjects With Gaucher Disease
- Registration Number
- NCT01132690
- Lead Sponsor
- Pfizer
- Brief Summary
This is a multi-center, double-blind trial to assess the safety and efficacy of taliglucerase alfa in untreated subjects (2 to \<18 years old) with Gaucher disease randomly assigned to treatment with one of two doses, 30 or 60 units/kg. Subjects will receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of taliglucerase alfa every two weeks. The total duration of treatment will be 12 months. At the end of the 12-month treatment period eligible subjects will be offered enrollment in an open-label extension study if taliglucerase alfa is not commercially available.
