ATB200/AT2221 for Pompe Disease
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment for individuals with late-onset Pompe disease, a rare condition affecting muscle strength. The treatment combines two drugs, ATB200 (an enzyme replacement therapy) and AT2221 (a pharmacological chaperone), to determine if they can improve muscle function and quality of life. The trial is open to those who have completed a previous study on this treatment. Participants should not plan to receive gene therapy or join another study for Pompe disease. As a Phase 3 trial, this is the final step before FDA approval, offering participants a chance to contribute to a potentially groundbreaking treatment.
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the study team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that ATB200 and AT2221 have been tested together for safety in people with Pompe disease. One study found that these treatments were generally well-tolerated over a long period. Participants received ATB200 intravenously and took AT2221 orally.
Some side effects occurred, but most were mild to moderate, with common issues including headache, nausea, and tiredness. Serious side effects were rare. Another study demonstrated that these treatments improved symptoms in mice, offering hope for human treatment.
These findings suggest that ATB200 and AT2221 can be safely used together, although some side effects may occur. As this trial is in a later phase, there is increased confidence in the treatment's safety for people.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about ATB200/AT2221 for Pompe disease because it offers a potentially game-changing approach to treatment. Unlike existing therapies that primarily rely on enzyme replacement, ATB200, combined with AT2221 (Miglustat), works to stabilize and enhance the enzyme's effectiveness. This combination aims to improve muscle function and reduce the storage of glycogen in cells more efficiently. By targeting both the enzyme stability and its uptake into cells, this treatment could offer patients improved outcomes compared to current standard therapies.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for late-onset Pompe disease?
Research has shown that the combination of ATB200 and AT2221, which participants in this trial will receive, may help treat late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD). In one study, this treatment stabilized symptoms and improved some daily activities over 18 months. Studies in mice also demonstrated improvements in the disease's core problems. Another study confirmed these benefits, indicating that this combination can effectively address the disease. Overall, the evidence suggests that ATB200 and AT2221 could be a promising treatment option for people with LOPD.12346
