AI summaryWhat this study is about, in plain languageShow ▾Hide ▴
AI-written from the registry record, not the study's own wording. May contain errors or omissions. Check the registry text on this page and the original record ↗ before acting on it.
A voluntary, international registry that collects medical information from people with confirmed Pompe disease. It combines past (retrospective) and future (prospective) clinical data and follows participants over time. Data are used for research, regulatory commitments, and to evaluate long-term outcomes including the effectiveness of alglucosidase alfa.
What it is studying. The registry aims to learn how Pompe disease varies and progresses, to describe the Pompe disease population, and to evaluate long-term outcomes including the long-term effectiveness of alglucosidase alfa.
What the researchers hope to learn. To enhance understanding of the variability, progression, identification, and natural history of Pompe disease; to assist the medical community in developing monitoring recommendations; to characterize the Pompe disease population; and to evaluate the long-term effectiveness of alglucosidase alfa.
What this study is about
The study's own summary, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov. Underlined terms have a short explanation.
The Pompe Registry is a global, multicenter, international, longitudinal, observational, and voluntary program for patients with Pompe disease, designed to track the disease's natural history and outcomes in patients, both treated and not. Data from the Registry are also used to fulfill various global regulatory commitments, to support product development/reimbursement, and for other research and non-research related purposes. The objectives of the Registry are:
- To enhance understanding of the variability, progression, identification, and natural history of Pompe disease, with the ultimate goal of better guiding and assessing therapeutic intervention.
- To assist the Pompe medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring patients, and to provide reports on patient outcomes, to optimize patient care.
- To characterize the Pompe disease population.
- To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of alglucosidase alfa.
Eligibility
The criteria exactly as listed on ClinicalTrials.gov. Only the study team can say whether they apply to you.
Inclusion criteria
- All patients with a confirmed diagnosis of Pompe disease who have signed the informed consent and authorization form(s) are eligible for inclusion. Confirmed diagnosis is defined as documented GAA enzyme deficiency from blood, skin, or muscle tissue and/or documentation of 2 GAA gene mutations.
Exclusion criteria
- There are no exclusion criteria in this Registry

Participants provide informed consent and allow the Registry to collect their past medical records and ongoing clinical information about Pompe disease. The Registry includes both retrospective (past) and prospective (future) data collection and has a target active follow-up of about 5 years, with some outcomes tracked up to 30 years. No study-specific invasive procedures are listed in the record; participation mainly involves sharing clinical data and follow-up information for research and regulatory reporting purposes.
How the study is structured. An observational, longitudinal registry that does not assign treatments. It collects existing medical records and ongoing follow-up information (retrospective and prospective) on a cohort of people with confirmed Pompe disease, with a target duration of 5 years.
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 Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Netherlands, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Singapore, Slovakia, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Vietnam.

Terms used on this page · explanations by MedicalUpdates.ai
- Registry
- An organised collection of information about people with a particular condition, gathered over time for research. Joining a registry usually means sharing medical information, not receiving a treatment.
- natural history
- A study that follows how a condition changes over time without assigning an experimental treatment. It may involve study visits and tests, and is often used to plan future trials.
- informed consent
- The process of explaining a study, including its risks and what participation involves, so that a person can decide freely whether to take part. Consent is usually documented in writing, and a participant can choose to leave the study later.
- exclusion criteria
- The conditions that rule a person out even if they meet the inclusion criteria, for example other illnesses, certain medicines or pregnancy.
- Inclusion Criteria
- The conditions a person must meet to be considered for the study, for example a confirmed diagnosis, an age range or a test result.
