Descriptive Information

Brief Title  ICMJEA Study of Genz-112638 in Patients With Gaucher Disease(ENGAGE)
Official Title  ICMJEA Phase 3 Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multi-Center Study Confirming the Efficacy and Safety of Genz-112638 in Patients With Gaucher Disease Type 1
Brief Summary

This Phase 3, Study was designed to confirm the Efficacy and Safety of Genz-112638 in Patients with Gaucher Disease Type 1

Detailed Description

Gaucher disease is characterised by lysosomal accumulation of glucosylceramide due to impaired glucosylceramide hydrolysis. Type 1 Gaucher Disease, the most common form accounts for > 90% of cases and does not involve the CNS. Typical manifestations of type 1 Gaucher Disease include splenomegaly, hepatomegaly, thrombocytopenia, anemia, skeletal pathology and decreased quality of life. The disease manifestations are caused by the accumulations of glucosylceramide (storage material) in Gaucher cells which have infiltrated the spleen and liver as well as other tissue. Genz-112638 is a small molecule developed as an oral therapy which acts to specifically inhibit production of this storage material in Gaucher cells.

This study is designed to determine the efficacy, safety, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of Genz-112638 in adult patients (> 16 years) with Gaucher Disease type 1
