This is a prospective, non-interventional study that follows Chinese children and people with Fabry Disease who receive agalsidase alfa (Replagal) in routine care. The study aims to describe heart and kidney measurements, quality of life, and safety while patients are treated as usual. No study-specific clinic visits are planned.
What it is studying. The study is testing how agalsidase alfa is used and what clinical outcomes occur in real-world Chinese patients with Fabry Disease. Key outcomes include changes over time in heart structure and function, kidney function and urine protein measures, patient-reported quality of life, disease severity scores, and the occurrence of adverse events, observed for up to 18 months.
What the researchers hope to learn. To describe clinical outcomes and safety of agalsidase alfa in routine practice among Chinese patients with Fabry Disease, including annualized changes in heart and kidney measures, quality of life, disease severity scores, and rates of clinically significant adverse events.
What this study is about
The study's own summary, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov. Underlined terms have a short explanation.
Fabry Disease is a rare blood disorder that some people are born with. People with Fabry disease have low levels of an enzyme called alpha-galactosidase A. This enzyme helps to cut down fat-like substances. Without alpha-galactosidase A, large forms of these substances build up and clot in blood vessels. Over time, this can affect vital organs (especially the heart, kidneys, and brain) causing serious health problems with advancing age. Agalsidase alfa (Replagal®) is a human enzyme made in the laboratory and may provide higher levels of alpha-galactosidase A. Replagal® works the same way as natural alpha-galactosidase A does. The main aim of this study is to learn more about the treatment with Replagal® in Chinese children and adults with Fabry disease. The study aims to assess the heart and kidney function in people with Fabry disease who are routinely treated with Replagal®. Other aims are to learn about the change in heart and kidney function, impact on quality of life, how the treatment with Replagal® works for people with Fabry Disease, and how safe the treatment with Replagal® is in routine real-world settings. Participants will receive with Replagal® per the routine treatment settings in China. No study-specific visits to the clinical are scheduled.

This is an observational study: participants receive agalsidase alfa as part of their routine care and the study does not assign treatment. No study-specific clinic visits are scheduled. The study team will collect routine medical information and test results over up to 18 months — including heart and kidney measurements, urine tests, quality-of-life questionnaires (e.g., SF-36), and records of any adverse events. Appropriate consent or assent (with parental/LAR consent where required) is needed to join.
How the study is structured. A prospective observational cohort: participants receive agalsidase alfa as part of routine clinical care (non-interventional). Study staff collect clinical measurements and questionnaires over time (up to about 18 months) during routine clinical care; the study does not assign treatments or add extra scheduled clinic visits.
Questions you could ask
These questions are suggestions for a conversation with the study team or your own clinician, not advice.
- This is an observational study, so the study itself gives no treatment. What would taking part involve for me, and would it change my usual care?
- The listed sites are in China. Is any of them reachable for me, and does the study help with travel?
- Which of the eligibility criteria would need to be checked with tests before I could join?
