Study of the Safety and Efficacy of PRX-102 Compared to Agalsidase Beta on Renal Function

This was a randomized, double-blind, active control study examining the safety and efficacy of pegunigalsidase alfa (PRX-102) in Fabry disease patients with impaired renal function. Participants had to have been taking the licensed ERT drug agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme®) for at least 1 year prior to study entry, and to have been on a stable dose of that product for at least the last 6 months. Since the disease expresses itself differently in males and females, gender could have an impact on the therapeutic effect; thus, there was additionally a requirement that no more than 50% of the patients could be female.

Following screening, eligible patients were randomized in a 2:1 ratio to either switch to PRX-102 or continue treatment with agalsidase beta, with randomization stratified according to whether the urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR), a measure of kidney function, was above or below a specified threshold. Both products were administered as an intravenous infusion every 2 weeks, at a dosage of 1 mg/kg, for up to 24 months. Both patients and study staff were blinded as to which treatment was being given.

Patients who completed the study were invited to continue in a long-term open-label extension study, PB-102-F60, in which all participants would receive PRX-102 1 mg/kg every 2 weeks.
