Fabry Disease Treatment with PRX102 compared to Agalsidase Beta: The BALANCE Study – Phase III

Study of the Safety and Efficacy of PRX-102 compared to Agalsidase Beta on Renal Function in Patients with Fabry Disease Previously Treated With Agalsidase Beta

Protocol Description

Through this study researchers will evaluate the drug PRX-102 as an enzyme-replacement therapy for Fabry disease and particularly its ability to decrease the negative effects Fabry disease has on kidney function.

Study Level: Phase III

Eligibility Criteria

Subject to certain exclusion criteria, the study is accepting patients of both genders, ages 18 to 60, who have a confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease and who are currently being treated with an enzyme, agalsidase beta, also known as Fabrazyme, for reduced kidney function believed to be associated with the disease.
Males and Females: Ages 18 to 60

Requirements

In this study, participants will be assigned to either continue their current therapy or be given PRX-102. The determination will be made by random selection, although twice as many enrollees will receive PRX-102. Participants will visit the clinic every 2 weeks over a 2-year period for a total of 53 intravenous infusions of either PRX-102 or Fabrazyme. During some visits, physical examinations, test procedures, and imaging scans will be performed.
Visits: 54
Duration: 2 years

Status: Open to Enrollment
