What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline at Week 26 in Skin Globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) Score in Superficial Skin Capillary Endothelium: Number of Participants in Categories of Shift in GL-3 Score From Baseline to Week 26

    Skin biopsies taken at Baseline and Week 26 were analyzed for cellular GL-3 accumulation (inclusions) by light microscopy. Three independent pathologists evaluated each biopsy using an inclusion severity score of 0 (none/trace), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition. A single score per participant per time point was derived by taking the score rated by a majority of the pathologists; if a majority score could not be derived, the median score was used. Data were summarized and reported in terms of number of participants with shift from Baseline GL-3 score to Week 26 GL-3 score. Any shift category of Baseline score/Week 26 score that was not observed is not reported. Shift to lower score from Baseline to Week 26 indicates less severe condition at Week 26.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 26

  2. Mean Change From Baseline at Week 26 in Skin GL-3 Score in Superficial Skin Capillary Endothelium

    Skin biopsies taken at Baseline and Week 26 were analyzed for cellular GL-3 accumulation (inclusions) by light microscopy. Three independent pathologists evaluated each biopsy using an inclusion severity score of 0 (none/trace), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition. A single score per participant per time point was derived by taking the score rated by a majority of the pathologists; if a majority score could not be derived, the median score was used. Change from Baseline in GL-3 score was obtained by subtracting Baseline value from post-baseline value at Week 26. A negative change from Baseline indicates less severe condition at Week 26.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 26

Secondary outcomes (18)
  1. Change From Baseline in Plasma GL-3 Concentration at Week 26

Three independent pathologists evaluated each biopsy using an inclusion severity score of 0 (none/trace), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition. A single score per participant per time point was derived by taking the score rated by a majority of the pathologists; if a majority score could not be derived, the median score was used. Data were summarized and reported in terms of number of participants with shift from Baseline GL-3 score to Week 26 GL-3 score. Any shift category of Baseline score/Week 26 score that was not observed is not reported. Shift to lower score from Baseline to Week 26 indicates less severe condition at Week 26.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 26

  5. Change From Baseline at Week 26 in Skin GL-3 Score in Deep Vessels Smooth Muscle Cells: Number of Participants in Categories of Shift in GL-3 Score From Baseline to Week 26

    Skin biopsies taken at Baseline and Week 26 were analyzed for cellular GL-3 accumulation (inclusions) by light microscopy. Three independent pathologists evaluated each biopsy using an inclusion severity score of 0 (none/trace), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition. A single score per participant per time point was derived by taking the score rated by a majority of the pathologists; if a majority score could not be derived, the median score was used. Data were summarized and reported in terms of number of participants with shift from Baseline GL-3 score to Week 26 GL-3 score. Any shift category of Baseline score/Week 26 score that was not observed is not reported. Shift to lower score from Baseline to Week 26 indicates less severe condition at Week 26.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 26

    Skin biopsies taken at Baseline and Week 26 were analyzed for cellular GL-3 accumulation (inclusions) by light microscopy. Three independent pathologists evaluated each biopsy using an inclusion severity score of 0 (none/trace), 1 (mild), 2 (moderate), and 3 (severe), where higher score indicated more severe condition. A single score per participant per time point was derived by taking the score rated by a majority of the pathologists; if a majority score could not be derived, the median score was used. Data were summarized and reported in terms of number of participants with shift from Baseline GL-3 score to Week 26 GL-3 score. Any shift category of Baseline score/Week 26 score that was not observed is not reported. Shift to lower score from Baseline to Week 26 indicates less severe condition at Week 26.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 26

  7. Change From Baseline in Urine Globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) Concentration at Week 26

    Change from Baseline in urine GL-3 was obtained by subtracting Baseline value from post-baseline value at Week 26. Concentration of GL-3 in urine was determined using a validated LC-MS/MS method.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 26

  8. Number of Participants With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

    Any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug was considered an adverse event (AE) without regard to possibility of causal relationship with this treatment. TEAEs were defined as AEs that developed or worsened during on-treatment period (period from the first administration of study drug through the last administration of the study drug plus 30 days or end of study participation for participant, whichever occurs first).

    Measured: From Baseline up to 212 days

  9. Pharmacokinetics (PK): Maximum Plasma Drug Concentration (Cmax) of GZ/SAR402671

    Maximum plasma concentration observed for study drug was reported.

    Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve of study drug from time 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) was calculated using the trapezoidal method over the dosing interval.

    Measured: Day 1 (predose and 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose); Day 182 (predose and 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose)

  13. PK: Terminal Half-life (t1/2z) of GZ/SAR402671

    Plasma t1/2z was the time measured for the plasma concentration of drug to decrease by one half. The t1/2z was estimated based on 24-hour post-dose PK.

    Measured: Day 1 (predose and 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose); Day 182 (predose and 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours post-dose)
