Lipid profile in adult patients with Fabry disease - Ten-year follow up.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Fabry disease, an X-linked genetic condition, results from alpha-galactosidase deficiency and increased accumulation of glycosphingolipids in cardiovascular tissues. Clinical manifestation includes vasculature associated complications. Hyperlipidaemia is one of the cardiovascular risk factors however it has never been well defined in Fabry disease. Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) is available but its effect on serum cholesterol is unknown. The aim of this project was to assess the influence of long-term ERT on lipid profile in a large cohort of adult patients with Fabry disease. METHODS:This was a retrospective analysis of lipid profile results. Patients with Fabry disease were on ERT for 10 years, were not treated with statins and had no severe renal impairment. All patients had lipid profile measured before ERT was commenced and 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 120 months later. Statistical analysis included ANOVA, Student t-test and descriptive statistics. RESULTS:Among 72 patients, 40 were females (median age 45; range 29-75), 32 males (median age 46; range 20-69). There was no significant difference in total cholesterol or HDL-cholesterol measured at baseline before ERT was commenced and 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 and 120 months after ERT was commenced in 72 patients (ANOVA; P = 0.673 and P = 0.883, respectively). Female patients on ERT had higher mean HDL-cholesterol as compared to female patients with Fabry disease who were asymptomatic and not treated (P ? 0.05). Total cholesterol between treated and non-treated female patients was comparable. Female patients on ERT have higher total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol when compared to lipid results in male patients on ERT. Total cholesterol/HDL-cholesterol ratio was low in female and male patients on ERT over 10 years. CONCLUSION:Adult patients with Fabry disease have remarkably elevated HDL-cholesterol and as a result, elevated total cholesterol. It is possible that elevated HDL-cholesterol has a cardioprotective effect in patients with this condition. Long term ERT does not have a significant impact on lipid profile in female and male population with Fabry disease.

Project description:BackgroundA thorough understanding of the factors that influence patient survival in Parkinson's disease (PD) will aid in prognosis prediction and provide a new direction for disease modification treatment. Currently, there are no standardized mortality ratio (SMR) data for PD patients in the northern Chinese mainland. The main focus of this study was to determine which factors in the prospectively collected baseline characteristics can affect the survival of PD patients. In addition, for the first time, we investigated the SMR of PD patients in northern China.MethodsBetween 2009 and 2012, 218 PD patients were continuously recruited from the movement disorder clinic of the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University and followed up until death or May 31, 2021. The prespecified prognostic variables were demographics, clinical features, lifestyle factors, and drug dose prospectively collected at baseline. To determine the independent predictors of survival during follow-up, the Cox proportional hazards model was used. Kaplan-Meier analysis was applied to estimate the overall survival curve and to compare survival between layers based on statistically significant predictors. The SMR of this northern Chinese mainland PD cohort was calculated.ResultsAfter a mean follow-up of 9.58 ± 2.27 years, 50 patients (22.90%) died. Factors that could individually predict shortened survival during follow-up included older age at onset (hazard ratio [HR] 1.10, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06-1.15), Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) stage ≥ 3 (HR 9.36, 95% CI 2.82-31.03) and severe cognitive impairment (HR 6.18, 95% CI 2.75-13.88). Univariate Cox regression revealed that a certain amount of physical activity was associated with better survival (HR 0.41, 95% CI 0.22-0.74), while fatigue was associated with an increased risk of death (HR 2.54, 95% CI 1.37-4.70). The overall SMR was 1.32 (95% CI 0.98-1.74).ConclusionsOlder age at onset, higher baseline H&Y stage, and severe cognitive impairment have a negative impact on survival. The 10-year survival of PD patients is not significantly different from that of the general population in China.

Project description:BackgroundSigns and symptoms of the X-linked disorder, Fabry disease (FD), can occur early during childhood with heterogeneous clinical manifestations including potential cardiac and renal dysfunction. Several studies support the efficacy of the enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) agalsidase alfa, in adults with FD, though published data on the long-term safety and efficacy of agalsidase alfa in children are limited. As early treatment with ERT has the potential to reduce complications arising from disease progression, children in particular could benefit. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of long-term agalsidase alfa ERT in children with FD.MethodsTKT029 was a 6.5-year open-label, multicenter, extension study of children who completed TKT023 (26-week, open-label, every-other-week, intravenous 0.2 mg/kg agalsidase alfa). TKT029 was divided into two phases (before and after an agalsidase alfa manufacturing process change); only patients who participated in both phases were included in the analysis. Primary endpoints included safety, tolerability, and heart rate variability (HRV). Additional efficacy parameters included left ventricular mass index (LVMI), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and plasma/urine globotriaosylceramide (Gb3).ResultsEleven patients participated (phase 1 baseline median [range] age: 10.8 [8.6-17.3] years; 10 [90.9%] males). During TKT029 (6.5 years), all patients experienced ≥1 treatment-emergent adverse event (AE); eight patients had ≥1 possibly/probably drug-related AE. Six patients experienced infusion-related AEs, but none discontinued due to AEs. Eight serious AEs arose (two patients); none were deemed drug-related. No deaths occurred. Three patients developed anti-agalsidase alfa antibodies, with IgG antibodies in one patient that were agalsidase alfa neutralizing, but without apparent clinical impact. Renal (eGFR) endpoints remained generally in normal range. Cardiac endpoints remained stable within normal range for LVMI and a trend towards improved HRV, although some patients experienced a reduction in heart rate. Plasma and urinary Gb3 reductions were maintained.ConclusionsTKT029 represents the longest assessment of ERT in children with FD in a clinical trial setting. Overall, agalsidase alfa was well tolerated and demonstrated a stabilizing clinical effect. Agalsidase alfa may be a useful clinical therapeutic option for long-term treatment initiated during childhood in patients with FD.Trial registrationhttp://ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00084084 .

Project description:The effect of migalastat on long-term renal outcomes in enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)-naive and ERT-experienced patients with Fabry disease is not well defined. An integrated posthoc analysis of the phase 3 clinical trials and open-label extension studies was conducted to evaluate long-term changes in renal function in patients with Fabry disease and amenable GLA variants who were treated with migalastat for ≥2 years during these studies. The analysis included ERT-naive (n = 36 [23 females]; mean age 45 years; mean baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), 91.4 mL/min/mL/1.73 m2) and ERT-experienced (n = 42 [24 females]; mean age, 50 years; mean baseline eGFR, 89.2 mL/min/1.73m2) patients with amenable variants who received migalastat 123 mg every other day for ≥2 years. The annualized rate of change from baseline to last observation in estimated glomerular filtration rate using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation (eGFRCKD-EPI) was calculated by both simple linear regression and a random coefficient model. In ERT-naive patients, mean annualized rates of change from baseline in eGFRCKD-EPI were - 1.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 overall and - 1.8 mL/min/1.73 m2 and - 1.4 mL/min/1.73 m2 in male and female patients, respectively, as estimated by simple linear regression. In ERT-experienced patients, mean annualized rates of change from baseline in eGFRCKD-EPI were - 1.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 overall and - 2.6 mL/min/1.73 m2 and - 0.8 mL/min/1.73 m2 in male and female patients, respectively. Mean annualized rate of change in eGFRCKD-EPI in ERT-naive patients with the classic phenotype (defined by white blood cell alpha galactosidase A [α-Gal A] activity of <3% of normal and multiorgan system involvement) was -1.7 mL/min/1.73 m2. When calculated using the random coefficient model, which adjusted for sex, age, and baseline renal function, the annualized eGFRCKD-EPI change was minimal (mean: -0.1 and 0.1 mL/min/1.73 m2 in ERT-naive and ERT-experienced patients, respectively). In conclusion, patients with Fabry disease and amenable GLA variants receiving long-term migalastat treatment (≤8.6 years) maintained renal function irrespective of treatment status, sex, or phenotype.
