NCT ID NCT04020055

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests the safety and how the body processes migalastat in 14 adults with Fabry disease who have severe kidney impairment or are on dialysis. Participants take migalastat capsules, and researchers measure drug levels in blood and dialysate. The goal is to ensure proper dosing for this vulnerable group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

migalastat (a drug that helps break down fatty substances in cells)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that migalastat is safe and properly dosed for Fabry patients with severe kidney problems, expanding treatment options for this group.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study (14 people) focused on safety and drug levels, not on whether the drug improves symptoms. It may not lead to a new treatment if safety issues arise.
