This open-label interventional study plans to enroll about 16 Japanese patients aged 13–70 with Fabry disease to evaluate pegunigalsidase alfa (PRX-102). Participants receive intravenous infusions (1 mg/kg every 2 weeks; some may receive 2 mg/kg every 4 weeks in later stages or the extension). The main study has two one-year stages followed by an optional extension; investigators will collect safety, PK/PD, and efficacy data.
What it is studying. The study tests the safety of PRX-102, how the body processes and responds to the drug (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics), and measures clinical efficacy outcomes in people with Fabry disease.
What the researchers hope to learn. To evaluate safety by recording treatment-emergent adverse events, infusion-related and injection-site reactions, and lab changes; to assess immunogenicity by measuring anti-drug antibodies; to measure pharmacokinetic parameters (Cmax, AUC, t1/2, clearance, volume of distribution); to track body measures and sexual development in adolescents (height, weight, Tanner stage); to record ECG changes; and to evaluate clinical efficacy measures for PRX-102.
What this study is about
The study's own summary, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov. Underlined terms have a short explanation.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pegunigalsidase alfa in Japanese patients (adults and adolescents) affected by Fabry disease. It is planned of a total of approximately 16 male and female Fabry disease patients between the ages of 13 and 70 years to be part of the study. The study is conducted in Japan.

Eligibility
The criteria exactly as listed on ClinicalTrials.gov. Only the study team can say whether they apply to you.
Inclusion criteria
- (all subjects)
- Must have been born in Japan and have their biological parents and all 4 grandparents of Japanese descent
- A documented diagnosis of Fabry disease, as determined by the following:
- Males: Plasma and/or leukocyte alpha-galactosidase-A activity (by activity assay) that is ≤ 5% of mean normal laboratory levels or, if the enzymatic activity is above the 5% limit but still under the normal level, a confirmed disease-causing mutation of the GLA gene
- Females: Historical genetic test results consistent with Fabry mutations or, in the case of novel mutations, a first-degree male relative with Fabry disease
- All subjects: At least one of the following characteristic features of Fabry disease: neuropathic pain, cornea verticillata, and/or clustered angiokeratoma
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at screening ≥40 mL/min/1.73 m2. For adults, this will be calculated using the Japanese Modified Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (JPN-CKD-EPI) Creatinine equation (2009); and for adolescents, it will be calculated using the Creatinine Cystatin C-based Chronic Kidney Disease in Children (CKiD) equation.
- Clinical condition that in the opinion of the Investigator requires treatment with ERT
- A female subject (including an adolescent in Cohort C, if applicable) must meet one of the following criteria:
- If of childbearing potential, she must:
- Have a negative serum pregnancy test result at screening, AND
- Agree to undergo a urine pregnancy test at baseline and every 12 weeks thereafter up to the final treatment, AND
- Agree to use one of the following highly reliable methods of contraception from the day of the informed consent signature until 30 days after the last infusion received. The following methods are acceptable:
- Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS)
- Combined (both oestrogen and progestogen) hormonal contraception (oral) associated with inhibition of ovulation, supplemented with a barrier method (preferably male condom)
- Bilateral tubal occlusion
- Sexual abstinence, defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire study period
- Partner vasectomy, provided that the partner is the sole sexual partner and has received medical verification of the surgical success
- Be of non-childbearing potential, defined as one of the following:
- Post-menopausal (12 consecutive months of amenorrhea), OR
- Permanently sterile following hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy (supporting evidence required)

- Aged ≥18 to ≤70 years
- Treatment with agalsidase beta or agalsidase alfa for at least the last 12 months prior to screening, with the dose stable (defined as having received at least 80% of the labelled dose) for at least the last 6 months
- Diagnosis of kidney impairment, defined as a linear slope of eGFR more negative than or equal to -2 mL/min/1.73 m2/year. The historical eGFR slope will be calculated based on at least 3 serum creatinine values obtained over the 9 to 24 months prior to screening, using the JPN-CKD-EPI Creatinine equation (2009). This criterion will be confirmed at screening by calculating the screening eGFR slope using historical and screening serum creatinine values. Both historical and screening eGFR slopes will be used for the diagnosis of kidney impairment.

Study description and what participation involves
The study's detailed description, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Detailed description from the registry
Investigators are doing this study to find out if treatment with pegunigalsidase alfa will prevent or reduce the development of health problems caused by Fabry disease and thereby improve patients' health and quality of life. pegunigalsidase alfa (PRX-102) is a drug made using genetic engineering techniques and manufactured using cultured tobacco cells. It is given by intravenous infusion every 2 weeks, at a dosage of 1 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight. The study consists of a main study that is divided into two stages, each of which will last one year, followed by an optional extension study. In stage II of main study and in the optional extension study, the participants may receive PRX-102 intravenous infusion every 2 weeks, at a dosage of 1 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight or every 4 weeks at a dosage of 2 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) of body weight. There are three groups (cohorts) in this study, with adults enrolled in either Cohort A or B and adolescents in Cohort C. Whether an adult is assigned to Cohort A or Cohort B depends on their kidney function and treatment history. This study will start with a screening visit of up to 6 weeks. It will be followed up by infusion visits every 2 weeks or 4 weeks. For subjects not continuing in the extension stage, a follow-up call is to be made 30 days after the last study drug infusion.

After a screening period up to 6 weeks, participants enter two main stages of one year each (with an optional extension). Treatment is given by intravenous infusion: generally every 2 weeks at 1 mg/kg; in stage II and the extension some participants may receive every 4 weeks at 2 mg/kg. Visits include regular infusion visits every 2 or 4 weeks, safety monitoring and blood samples for safety tests, drug levels and anti‑drug antibody testing, ECGs, growth and Tanner staging for adolescents, and pregnancy tests and contraception checks for females of childbearing potential. Subjects not continuing in the extension will receive a follow‑up call about 30 days after their last infusion; the study collects safety, laboratory and pharmacokinetic data over the planned study period (primary assessments at 12 and 24 months and follow‑up through study completion).
How the study is structured. Open-label, single-group interventional drug study with no masking. The main study has two stages (each one year) and an optional extension. There are three cohorts (two for adults, one for adolescents); assignment to adult cohorts depends on kidney function and prior enzyme-replacement treatment. Study procedures include screening (up to 6 weeks), regular IV infusion visits every 2 or 4 weeks, and a 30-day follow-up call for those not entering the extension.
