- Abstract
Fabry's disease (FD) is an X‐linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by the deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme α‐galactosidase A (α‐Gal A) leading to intracellular accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3). Patients with amenable mutations can be treated with migalastat, a recently approved oral pharmacologic chaperone to increase endogenous α‐Gal A activity. We assessed safety along with cardiovascular, renal, and patient‐reported outcomes and disease biomarkers in a prospective observational multicenter study after 12 months of migalastat treatment under "real‐world" conditions. Fifty‐nine (28 females) patients (34 (57.6%) pretreated with enzyme replacement therapy) with amenable mutations were recruited. Migalastat was generally safe and well tolerated. Females and males presented with a reduction of left ventricular mass index (primary end point) (−7.2 and −13.7 g/m2, P = 0.0050 and P = 0.0061). FD‐specific manifestations and symptoms remained stable (all P > 0.05). Both sexes presented with a reduction of estimated glomerular filtration rate (secondary end point) (−6.9 and −5.0 mL/minute/1.73 m2; P = 0.0020 and P = 0.0004, respectively), which was most prominent in patients with low blood pressure (P = 0.0271). α‐Gal A activity increased in male patients by 15% from 29% to 44% of the normal wild‐type activity (P = 0.0106) and plasma lyso‐Gb3 levels were stable in females and males (P = 0.3490 and P = 0.2009). Reevaluation of mutations with poor biochemical response revealed no marked activity increase in a zero activity background. We conclude that therapy with migalastat was generally safe and resulted in an amelioration of left ventricular mass. In terms of impaired renal function, blood pressure control seems to be an unattended important goal.
