Migalastat improves diarrhea in patients with Fabry disease: clinical-biomarker correlations from the phase 3 FACETS trial.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Fabry disease is frequently characterized by gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea. Migalastat is an orally-administered small molecule approved to treat the symptoms of Fabry disease in patients with amenable mutations. METHODS:We evaluated minimal clinically important differences (MCID) in diarrhea based on the corresponding domain of the patient-reported Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) in patients with Fabry disease and amenable mutations (N?=?50) treated with migalastat 150 mg every other day or placebo during the phase 3 FACETS trial (NCT00925301). RESULTS:After 6 months, significantly more patients receiving migalastat versus placebo experienced improvement in diarrhea based on a MCID of 0.33 (43% vs 11%; p?=?.02), including the subset with baseline diarrhea (71% vs 20%; p?=?.02). A decline in kidney peritubular capillary globotriaosylceramide inclusions correlated with diarrhea improvement; patients with a reduction >?0.1 were 5.6 times more likely to have an improvement in diarrhea than those without (p?=?.031). CONCLUSIONS:Migalastat was associated with a clinically meaningful improvement in diarrhea in patients with Fabry disease and amenable mutations. Reductions in kidney globotriaosylceramide may be a useful surrogate endpoint to predict clinical benefit with migalastat in patients with Fabry disease. TRIAL REGISTRATION:NCT00925301 ; June 19, 2009.
