New study tracks safety of enzyme therapy in babies with rare genetic disease
NCT ID NCT06192576
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study follows up to 10 children under 2 years old with acid sphingomyelinase deficiency (ASMD) who are already receiving olipudase alfa (Xenpozyme®) as part of their routine care. Researchers will monitor side effects and immune responses over 1 to 3 years. No new treatment is given; the study simply observes what happens in real-world medical practice.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- olipudase alfa (Xenpozyme®)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could confirm that olipudase alfa is safe and well-tolerated in very young children with ASMD, supporting its continued use in this age group.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study (10 participants) with no control group, so results may not apply to all patients. It only monitors safety, not effectiveness, and side effects like allergic reactions are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * The participant must have ASMD type A/B or B and must be \<2 years of age at the time of treatment initiation, OR ASMD type A (without age restriction). * The participant must weigh ≥ 2 kg \[The United States Prescribing Information (USPI)\] for olipudase alfa specifies this minimum weight for infants receiving olipudase alfa). * The participant must have documented ASMD, as determined in peripheral leukocytes, cultured fibroblasts, or lymphocytes and/or by genotype determination. * Signed informed consent must be provided by the participant's parent(s)/legal guardian(s), including compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol. The signed ICF must be provided before any protocol-related procedures are performed. * The participant is eligible to start olipudase alfa enzyme replacement therapy or has received the first dose (and no more) of olipudase alfa, and has retrievable clinical, laboratory, and ADA data. Exclusion Criteria: * The participant has received an investigational drug within 30 days or 5 drug half-lives before signature of the ICF and study enrollment. * The participant is not suitable for participation for reasons determined by the Investigator, including medical or clinical conditions, or potential risk of noncompliance with study procedures. * The participant is an immediate family member of employees of the study site or other individuals directly involved in study conduct, in conjunction with Section 1.61 of ICH-GCP Ordinance E6.
