New hope for kids with fabry: migalastat trial opens
NCT ID NCT06904261
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests the drug migalastat in 8 children aged 2 to 12 with Fabry disease, a rare genetic disorder. The goal is to see if the drug is safe, how it moves through the body, and if it helps protect kidney function. Participants will take the medicine for 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Migalastat (Galafold)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a treatment option for children with Fabry disease, potentially slowing disease progression and improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 8 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The drug may cause side effects or not work as well in children as in adults.

Inclusion Criteria * Male or female subjects, diagnosed with Fabry disease who are between ages 2 and \< 12 years at randomization (subjects aged 11 years must have birthdays \> 30 days after randomization) * Subject's parent or legally authorized representative is willing and able to provide written informed consent and authorization for use and disclosure of personal health information or research-related health information, and subject provides assent, if applicable. * Subject has a GLA variant documented in his/her medical record that is amenable to migalastat prior to Visit 2. * Subject has not received ERT (eg, Replagal® \[agalsidase alfa\] or Fabrazyme® \[agalsidase beta\]) for at least 14 days prior to Baseline visit. * Subject has at least 1 documented complication (ie, historical or current laboratory abnormality or sign/symptom) of Fabry disease * If of reproductive potential, both male and female subjects agree to use a medically accepted method of contraception throughout the duration of the study and for up to 30 days after their last dose of migalastat. Exclusion Criteria * Has moderate or severe renal impairment (eGFR \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at Visit 1 \[screening\]). * Has advanced kidney disease requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation. * History of allergy or sensitivity to migalastat (including excipients) or other iminosugars (eg, miglustat, miglitol). * Has received any investigational/experimental drug, biologic, or device within 30 days or 5 half-lives of the investigational product (whichever is longer) before Visit 1 (screening). * Has received any gene therapy at any time or anticipates starting gene therapy during the study period. * Requires treatment with Glyset (miglitol) or Zavesca (miglustat), within 6 months before Visit 1(screening) or throughout the study. * Has any intercurrent illness or condition at Visit 1 (screening) or Visit 2 (baseline) that may preclude the subject from fulfilling the protocol requirements or suggests to the investigator that the potential subject may have an unacceptable risk by participating in this study. * Pregnant or breastfeeding * Otherwise unsuitable for the study in the opinion of the investigator
