NCT ID NCT05206773
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary

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 adult patients 16 year of age or older, who have had a previously confirmed diagnosis of Fabry disease and a history of clinical symptoms of Fabry disease * Patients who are treatment-naïve or without prior treatment with an approved or experimental therapy for Fabry disease within at least 6 months prior to screening. * Average score of ≥3 (0=no symptom, 10=symptom as bad as you can imagine) on the participant-defined most-bothersome symptom (among neuropathic pain in upper extremities, neuropathic pain in lower extremities, or abdominal pain), as measured by the Fabry Disease Patient-Reported Outcome (FD-PRO) at screening. * Contraception (with double contraception methods) for male and female participants; not pregnant or breastfeeding for female participants; no sperm donation for male participants. * Weight ≥30 Kg * A signed informed consent must be provided prior to any study-related procedures. Exclusion Criteria: * Any manifestations of Fabry disease that preclude placebo administration. * History of transient ischemic attack, stroke, myocardial infarction, heart failure, evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy and/or cardiac fibrosis, major cardiovascular surgery, or kidney transplantation. * 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. * Patients with hepatitis C, HIV, or hepatitis B infection. * Neuropathic pain in upper or lower extremities, or abdominal pain not related to Fabry disease. * History of seizures currently requiring treatment. * Uncontrolled hypertension over the past 12 months prior to screening, or systolic BP \>=150 or diastolic BP \>=100 at screening. * Estimated glomerular filtration rate \<60 mL/min/1.73m². * Urine protein to creatinine ratio \>= 1 g/g at screening. * 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. * Positive SARS-CoV-2 virus test within 2 weeks of enrollment, or COVID 19 requiring hospitalization within 6 months of enrollment. * Moderate to severe hepatic impairment. * History of drug and/or alcohol abuse. * History of or active hepatobiliary disease. * Liver enzymes (alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST)) or total bilirubin \>2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN). * Initiation of chronic treatment for pain, or change in pain medication regimen, within 3 months prior to randomization. * Strong or moderate inducers or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 3A within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to randomization. The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a potential participation in a clinical trial.
