What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This phase 3 study tests whether venglustat, an experimental oral drug, can slow heart thickening better than current standard treatments in 104 adults with Fabry disease. Participants are randomly assigned to venglustat or usual care (enzyme replacement or migalastat) for 18 months. The main goal is to measure changes in heart muscle mass using MRI.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
venglustat
What this could lead to
If successful, venglustat could offer a new oral treatment option to slow heart damage in Fabry disease, potentially improving long-term heart health.
What could go wrong
This is a mid-stage trial with only 104 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Venglustat is still experimental and may not prove better than current therapies.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Male and female participants aged 18 to 65 with previously confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease and a history of clinical symptoms of Fabry disease. * Participants may be receiving treatment with agalsidase alfa, agalsidase beta, or migalastat, or may be untreated. * Left ventricular hypertrophy. * Contraception for male or female participants: not pregnant or breastfeeding; no sperm donating for male participant. * A signed informed consent must be provided prior to any study-related procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * History of transient ischemic attack, stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, major cardiovascular surgery or kidney transplantation. * History of seizures currently requiring treatment. * Underlying medical condition that may cause or contribute to left ventricular hypertrophy. * Asymmetric hypertrophy by cardiac MRI at screening if considered by central reader to be not related to Fabry disease. * Advanced cardiac fibrosis, defined as significant late gadolinium enhancement affecting 3 or more segments involving \>50% of myocardial thickness on screening cardiac MRI. * History of clinically significant cardiac arrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation that is well controlled on a stable medical regimen for at least 12 months is not an exclusion if the CHA2DS2-VASc score is 0 for males or 1 for females. * Estimated glomerular filtration rate \<45 mL/min/1.73m2. * Presence of severe depression as measured by Beck's Depression Inventory (BDI)-II \>28 and/or a history of an untreated, unstable major affective disorder within 1 year of the screening visit. * Patients with hepatitis C, HIV, or hepatitis B infection. * Positive SARS-CoV-2 virus test within 2 weeks of enrollment, or COVID-19 requiring hospitalization within 6 months of enrollment. * History of drug and/or alcohol abuse. * Moderate to severe hepatic impairment. * History of or active hepatobiliary disease. * Liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase/aspartate aminotransferase) or total bilirubin \>2 times the upper limit of normal. * Strong or moderate inducers or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 CYP3A4 within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to randomization. * Known contraindication to undergoing MRI or known hypersensitivity to gadolinium-based contrast agents. The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a potential participation in a clinical trial.
