ABSTRACT

We thank Dr. Weimer and her colleagues for their comments related to our recent work (Anding et al., 2023) and are grateful for the opportunity to further discuss the importance of efficient lysosomal targeting of enzyme-replacement therapies (ERT) for the treatment of Pompe disease. Patients with Pompe disease have mutations in the gene that encodes for acid α glucosidase (GAA), a lysosomal enzyme necessary for the breakdown of glycogen. The first-generation ERT, alglucosidase alfa, provides a lifesaving therapy for the severe form of the disease (infantile onset Pompe disease) and improves or stabilizes respiratory and motor function in patients with less severe disease (late onset Pompe disease). Despite these gains, significant unmet need remains, particularly in patients who display respiratory and motor decline following years of treatment. Poor tissue uptake and lysosomal targeting via inefficient binding of the cation-independent mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) receptor (CIMPR) in skeletal muscle contributed to this suboptimal treatment response, prompting the development of new ERTs with increased levels of M6P.

ABSTRACT

The phase III double-blind PROPEL study compared the novel two-component therapy cipaglucosidase alfa + miglustat (cipa + mig) with alglucosidase alfa + placebo (alg + pbo) in adults with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD). This ongoing open-label extension (OLE; NCT04138277) evaluates long-term safety and efficacy of cipa + mig. Outcomes include 6-min walk distance (6MWD), forced vital capacity (FVC), creatine kinase (CK) and hexose tetrasaccharide (Hex4) levels, patient-reported outcomes and safety. Data are reported as change from PROPEL baseline to OLE week 52 (104 weeks post-PROPEL baseline). Of 118 patients treated in the OLE, 81 continued cipa + mig treatment from PROPEL (cipa + mig group; 61 enzyme replacement therapy [ERT] experienced prior to PROPEL; 20 ERT naïve) and 37 switched from alg + pbo to cipa + mig (switch group; 29 ERT experienced; 8 ERT naive). Mean (standard deviation [SD]) change in % predicted 6MWD from baseline to week 104 was + 3.1 (8.1) for cipa + mig and - 0.5 (7.8) for the ERT-experienced switch group, and + 8.6 (8.6) for cipa + mig and + 8.9 (11.7) for the ERT-naïve switch group. Mean (SD) change in % predicted FVC was - 0.6 (7.5) for cipa + mig and - 3.8 (6.2) for the ERT-experienced switch group, and - 4.8 (6.5) and - 3.1 (6.7), respectively, in ERT-naïve patients. CK and Hex4 levels improved in both treatment groups by week 104 with cipa + mig treatment. Three patients discontinued the OLE due to infusion-associated reactions. No new safety signals were identified. Cipa + mig treatment up to 104 weeks was associated with overall maintained improvements (6MWD, biomarkers) or stabilization (FVC) from baseline with continued durability, and was well tolerated, supporting long-term benefits for patients with LOPD.Trial registration number: NCT04138277; trial start date: December 18, 2019.

ABSTRACT

Among carbohydrate-processing enzymes, Jack bean α-mannosidase (JBα-man) is the glycosidase with the best responsiveness to the multivalent presentation of iminosugar inhitopes. We report, in this work, the preparation of water dispersible gold nanoparticles simultaneously coated with the iminosugar deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) inhitope and simple monosaccharides (ß-d-gluco- or α-d-mannosides). The display of DNJ at the gold surface has been modulated (i) by using an amphiphilic linker longer than the aliphatic chain used for the monosaccharides and (ii) by presenting the inhitope, not only in monomeric form, but also in a trimeric fashion through combination of a dendron approach with glyconanotechnology. The latter strategy resulted in a strong enhancement of the inhibitory activity towards JBα-man, with a Ki in the nanomolar range (Ki = 84 nM), i.e., more than three orders of magnitude higher than the monovalent reference compound.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic disease. SGL5213, which is minimally absorbed and is restricted to the intestinal tract, is a potent intestinal sodium-glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) inhibitor. In this study, we investigated the protective effect of SGL5213 in a rodent model of NAFLD. METHODS: Using a rodent model of NAFLD, we compared SGL5213 efficacy with miglitol, which is an α-glucosidase inhibitor. We used a high-fat and high-sucrose diet-induced NAFLD model. RESULTS: SGL5213 and miglitol improved obesity, liver dysfunction, insulin resistance, and the NAFLD severity. To further investigate the effects of SGL5213, we analyzed the mRNA expression of genes involved in lipid metabolism, inflammation, and liver fibrosis, and cecal pH levels. SGL5213 and miglitol treatment significantly decreased mRNA expression of factors involved in inflammation and liver fibrosis. SGL5213 treatment significantly decreased cecal pH levels, which did not occur with miglitol. CONCLUSIONS: SGL5213 had a protective effect on the pathogenesis of NAFLD in a rodent model. We considered that inhibiting glucose absorption and increasing glucose content in the gastrointestinal tract with SGL5213 might have contributed to the protective effect in NAFLD. SGL5213 is a promising therapeutic agent for NAFLD with obesity and insulin resistance.

ABSTRACT

Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disease based on a deficiency of α-galactosidase A (AGAL) caused by mutations in the α-galactosidase A gene (GLA). The lysosomal accumulation of glycosphingolipids, especially globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) and globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3, deacylated form), leads to a multisystemic disease with progressive renal failure, cardiomyopathy with potentially malignant cardiac arrhythmias, and strokes, which considerably limits the life expectancy of affected patients. Diagnostic confirmation in male patients is based on the detection of AGAL deficiency in blood leukocytes, whereas in women, due to the potentially high residual enzymatic activity, molecular genetic detection of a causal mutation is required. Current treatment options for FD include recombinant enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with intravenous agalsidase-alfa (0.2 mg/kg body weight) or agalsidase-beta (1 mg/kg body weight) every 2 weeks and oral chaperone therapy with migalastat (123 mg every other day), which selectively and reversibly binds to the active site of AGAL, thereby correcting the misfolding of the enzyme and allowing it to traffic to the lysosome. These therapies enable cellular Gb3 clearance and improve the burden of disease. However, in about 40% of all ERT-treated men, ERT can lead to infusion-associated reactions and the formation of neutralizing antidrug antibodies, which reduces the efficacy of therapy. In chaperone therapy, there are carriers of amenable mutations that show limited clinical success. This article provides a brief overview of the clinical picture in FD patients, diagnostic confirmation, and interdisciplinary clinical management of FD. The focus is on current and future therapeutic options.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Combination therapy with an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor or glinide plus a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor is thought to be effective for glycemic control because of its effects on postprandial hyperglycemia. However, no studies have directly compared these two combination therapies in relation to efficacy and safety. METHODS: Eighteen patients with type 2 diabetes were studied. All had diabetes not adequately controlled with diet and exercise therapy, an HbA1c level of ≥7.5%, and were not receiving any medication for diabetes. The patients were randomized to either miglitol- or repaglinide-based combination therapy with alogliptin. Patients received miglitol or repaglinide monotherapy for 3 months (the miglitol and repaglinide groups, respectively), after which alogliptin was added to each group as combination therapy for 3 months. A meal tolerance test (MTT) was performed before the start of treatment and at the end of monotherapy and combination therapy. RESULTS: During the study period, decreases in HbA1c and glycated albumin were significantly greater in the repaglinide group than in the miglitol group; however, there was no significant difference between treatment groups at the end of the study. At the end of monotherapy, insulin secretion relative to glucose elevation (ISG0-30: area under the curve of insulin from 0 to 30 min during MTT [AUC0-30 of IRI]/AUC0-30 of plasma glucose) was significantly higher only in the repaglinide group; ISG0-30 did not significantly increase in either group after the addition of alogliptin. CONCLUSIONS: The addition of alogliptin to repaglinide monotherapy did not cause glucose-independent inappropriate insulin secretion and did not appear to increase the incidence of hypoglycemia.

ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to explore the bioequivalence of miglitol based on pharmacodynamic properties. The study was performed as a single-dose, randomized, open-label, 3-period, 3-way crossover trial over a 7-day washout period. Forty-eight subjects were randomly assigned into 3 groups: (1) miglitol test formulation/sucrose coadministration, (2) miglitol reference formulation/sucrose coadministration, and (3) sucrose administration alone. Serum glucose concentrations were measured by the hexokinase detection method. The peak serum glucose concentration (Cmax ) and the area under the serum glucose concentration-time curve through 4 hours (AUC0-4h ) were used as the main pharmacodynamic parameters to evaluate bioequivalence. The 90% confidence intervals for the geometric mean ratios of Cmax and AUC0-4h were 94.81%-101.07% and 98.82%-100.72%, respectively, which were all within the bioequivalence range of 80.00%-125.00%. The test and reference formulations of miglitol were pharmacodynamically bioequivalent during the trial.

ABSTRACT

A 52-year-old woman had been found to have hematuria at her annual checkup 5 years in a row. She hoped to donate her kidney to her husband, so we performed a percutaneous kidney biopsy at our department. It was difficult for us to detect apparent abnormalities under a light microscopic examination, and she was determined to meet the eligibility criteria for living kidney transplantation. However, the sample for electron microscopy was not evaluated before kidney donation. She subsequently underwent living kidney transplantation as a donor. A 1-h biopsy revealed swelling and obvious vacuolation of the glomerular podocytes, which were characteristic of Fabry disease. Her medical history and examinations were reviewed. No findings or episodes were observed. Pre-donation electronmicroscopy revealed numerous zebra bodies in the podocytes. A definite diagnosis of heterozygous Fabry disease was made based on the GLA gene mutation despite the normal range of leukocyte α-Gal A activity. Based on the pathological deposition of GL-3, chaperone therapy was initiated to suppress the progression of organ damage. In this case, we could not confirm a diagnosis of Fabry disease despite performing a renal biopsy prior to kidney donation. Kidney donor candidates may sometimes have factors that cannot be assumed based on medical or family history. Thus, it is important to perform a renal biopsy before kidney donation when necessary, and to always conduct a detailed evaluation including electron microscopy.

ABSTRACT

Results from the 18-month randomized treatment period of the phase 3 ATTRACT study demonstrated the efficacy and safety of oral migalastat compared with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in patients with Fabry disease who previously received ERT. Here, we report data from the subsequent 12-month, migalastat-only, open-label extension (OLE) period. ATTRACT (Study AT1001-012; NCT01218659) was a randomized, open-label, active-controlled study in patients aged 16-74 years with Fabry disease, an amenable GLA variant, and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2. During the OLE, patients who received migalastat 150 mg every other day (QOD) during the randomized period continued receiving migalastat (Group 1 [MM]); patients who received ERT every other week discontinued ERT and started migalastat treatment (Group 2 [EM]). Outcome measures included eGFR, left ventricular mass index (LVMi), composite clinical outcome (renal, cardiac or cerebrovascular events), and safety. Forty-six patients who completed the randomized treatment period continued into the OLE (Group 1 [MM], n = 31; Group 2 [EM], n = 15). eGFR remained stable in both treatment groups. LVMi decreased from baseline at month 30 in Group 1 (MM) in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy at baseline. Only 10% of patients experienced a new composite clinical event with migalastat treatment during the OLE. No new safety concerns were reported. In conclusion, in patients with Fabry disease and amenable GLA variants, migalastat 150 mg QOD was well tolerated and demonstrated durable, long-term stability of renal function and reduction in LVMi.

ABSTRACT

1-Deoxynojirimycin (1-DNJ) is the major effective component of mulberry leaves, exhibiting inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase. However, due to the low content of 1-DNJ in mulberry products, its level cannot meet the lowest dose to exhibit its activity. In this study, a combination of dietary 5,6,7-trihydroxy-flavonoid aglycones with 1-DNJ showed synergistic inhibitory activity against maltase of mice α-glucosidase and recombinant C- and N-termini of maltase-glucoamylase (MGAM) and baicalein with 1-DNJ exhibited the strongest synergistic effect. The synergistic effect of the combination was also confirmed by the maltose tolerance test in vivo. Enzyme kinetics, molecular docking, fluorescence spectrum, and circular dichroism spectrometry studies indicated that the major mechanism of the synergism is that baicalein was a positive allosteric inhibitor and bound to the noncompetitive site of MGAM, causing an increase of the binding affinity of 1-DNJ to MGAM. Our results might provide a theoretical basis for the design of dietary supplements containing mulberry products.

ABSTRACT

The treatment options for Fabry disease (FD) are enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with agalsidase alfa or beta, and the oral pharmacological chaperone migalastat. Since few data are available on the effects of switching from ERT to migalastat, we performed a single-center observational study on seven male Fabry patients (18-66 years) to assess the effects of the switch on renal, cardiac, and neurologic function, health status, pain, lyso-Gb3, α-Gal A activity and adverse effects. Data were retrospectively collected at time of diagnosis of FD (baseline, T0), and after 12 months of ERT (T1), and prospectively after 1 year of therapy with migalastat (T2). No patient died or reported renal, cardiac, or cerebrovascular events during the study period. The predefined measures for cardiac, renal and neurologic function, and FD-related symptoms and questionnaires were stable between baseline and the switch, and remained unchanged with migalastat. However, a significant improvement was observed in left ventricular mass index from baseline to T2 (p = 0.016), with a significative difference between the treatments (p = 0.028), and in median proteinuria from T2 vs T1 (p = 0.048). Moreover, scores of the BPI improved from baseline to T1, and remained stable with migalastat. Plasma lyso-Gb3 levels significantly decreased from baseline to T1 (P = 0.007) and T2 (P = 0.003), while did not significantly differ between the two treatments. α-Gal A activity increased from T0 to T2 (p < 0.0001). The frequency of adverse effects under migalastat and ERT was comparable (28% for both drugs). In conclusion, switching from ERT to migalastat is valid, safe and well tolerated.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: Mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaves have been used in traditional medicine for treating hyperglycemia. However, there remains difficulties in the implementation of mulberry leaves in evidence-based practice. The aims of this study were to examine the optimal dose of 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) in mulberry leaves and to determine the efficacy and safety of mulberry leaves in glycemic control in obese persons with borderline diabetes. DESIGN: First, healthy adults were recruited into the dose-finding study and randomly allocated to ingest sucrose solution concurrently with mulberry leaf powder at weights equivalent to 0 (control), 6, 12, and 18 mg of DNJ. Postprandial glucose and undesirable effects were evaluated. Second, obese persons with borderline diabetes were randomly assigned into the mulberry-leaves treatment group (12 mg of mulberry DNJ three times daily) and the control group in the 12-week prospective study. Blood glucose and insulin as well as adverse effects were determined. RESULTS: Twelve mg of mulberry DNJ was the minimum effective dose attenuating postprandial hyperglycemia. Mulberry leaves decreased fasting plasma glucose (FPG) by 3.86 ± 5.99 mg/dL (p = 0.002) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) by 0.11 ± 0.22 % (p = 0.011) when compared with the baseline levels. Improvement in glucose tolerance was not observed. Furthermore, mulberry leaves tended to ameliorate insulin resistance (p = 0.057). Adverse events of mulberry leaves commonly found in this study were gastrointestinal symptoms including bloating, flatulence, and loose stools. CONCLUSION: Mulberry leaves possessed favorable effects on glycemic profiles without serious side effects.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Fabry disease is a progressive X-linked lysosomal disorder. In this subgroup analysis of the global phase III ATTRACT study, the efficacy and safety of oral migalastat, a pharmacologic chaperone, were investigated in Japanese patients with Fabry disease. METHODS: Patients were randomly assigned to receive migalastat (150 mg every other day) or to continue biweekly enzyme replacement therapy infusions (ERT; agalsidase alfa 0.2 mg/kg or agalsidase beta 1.0 mg/kg) for 18 months followed by a 12-month open-label extension during which all patients received migalastat. End points included glomerular filtration rate (estimated and measured), left ventricular mass index (LVMi), composite clinical outcomes, leukocyte alpha-galactosidase A activity, plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3), and safety. RESULTS: Data from 7 Japanese patients (migalastat, 5; ERT, 2), mean age 55 years, with high disease burden, were analyzed. All patients in the migalastat group completed the open-label comparison and extension periods. At 18 months, efficacy in the Japanese patient population was similar to that in the overall ATTRACT population. Migalastat treatment increased leukocyte alpha-galactosidase A activity, stabilized renal function, and decreased LVMi. Plasma lyso-Gb3 levels remained low and stable. Additionally, the long-term extension study showed that efficacy of migalastat was maintained for up to 48 months. Migalastat was safe and well tolerated in the Japanese patients, as in the overall ATTRACT population. CONCLUSION: Migalastat can be used to treat Japanese patients with Fabry disease with GLA mutations amenable to migalastat according to the dosage and administration approved in other countries. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS: ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01218659 and NCT02194985.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Fabry disease (OMIM 301500) is an X-linked disorder caused by alpha-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) deficiency. The administration of a pharmacologic chaperone (migalastat) in Fabry patients with amenable mutations has been reported to improve or stabilize organ damages and reduce lyso-Gb3 plasma level. An increase of α-Gal A activity has been observed in vitro in cells expressing amenable GLA mutations when incubated with migalastat. The impact of the drug on α-Gal A in vivo activity has been poorly studied. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of two unrelated male Fabry patients with p.Asn215Ser (p.N215S) variant. RESULTS: We report the important increase of α-Gal A activity in blood leukocytes reaching normal ranges of activity after about 1 year of treatment with migalastat. Cardiac parameters improved or stabilized with the treatment. CONCLUSION: We confirm in vivo the effects of migalastat that have been observed in N215S carriers in vitro. The increase of α-Gal A activity may be the strongest marker for biochemical efficacy. The normalization of enzyme activity could become the new therapeutic target to achieve.

ABSTRACT

Fabry disease is characterized by deficient activity of α-galactosidase A, which results in accumulation of glycolipids, such as globotriaosylceremide, in various tissue. Clinical symptoms are varied. In childhood, pain in extremities, hypohidrosis, and angiokeratoma are main symptoms, In adulthood, renal, cardiac and cerebrovascular symptoms are occurred In past, only symptomatic treatments were available.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Patients with Fabry disease (FD) and amenable mutations can be treated with the chaperone migalastat to restore endogenous α-galactosidase A (AGAL) activity. However, certain amenable mutations do not respond biochemically in vivo as expected. Here, we aimed to establish a patient-specific and mutation-specific cell model to evaluate the amenability to chaperone therapy in FD. METHODS: Since current tests to determine amenability are limited to heterologous mutation expression in HEK293T cells with endogenous AGAL activity, we generated CRISPR/Cas9-mediated AGAL-deficient HEK293T cells as a basis for mutant overexpression. Furthermore, primary urinary cells from patients were isolated and immortalised as a patient-specific cell model system to evaluate the amenability to chaperone therapy. RESULTS: Under treatment (>13 months), carriers of p.N215S (n=6) showed a significant reduction of plasma lyso-Gb3 (p<0.05). Lyso-Gb3 levels in carriers of p.L294S increased (p<0.05) and two patients developed severe albuminuria. Both missense mutations were amenable in wild-type HEK293T cells (p<0.05), but presented different responses in CRISPR/Cas9-mediated AGAL knockouts and immortalised urinary cells. Chaperone incubation resulted in increased AGAL activity (p<0.0001) and intracellular globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) reduction (p<0.05) in immortalised p.N215S cells but not in p.L294S and IVS2+1 G>A cells. CONCLUSION: We conclude that repeated AGAL activity measurements in patients' white blood cells are mandatory to assess the in vivo amenability to migalastat. Plasma lyso-Gb3 might be an appropriate tool to measure the biochemical response to migalastat. Patients with low AGAL activities and increasing lyso-Gb3 levels despite in vitro amenability might not benefit sufficiently from chaperone treatment.

ABSTRACT

Fabry disease is a rare lysosomal disorder characterized by deficient or absent α-galactosidase A activity resulting from mutations in the GLA gene. Migalastat (Galafold™), a pharmacological chaperone, stabilizes and facilitates trafficking of amenable mutant forms of α-galactosidase A enzyme from the endoplasmic reticulum to lysosomes and increases its lysosomal activity. Oral migalastat is the first pharmacological chaperone approved for treating patients [aged ≥ 18 years (USA and Canada) or ≥ 16 years in other countries] with Fabry disease who have a migalastat-amenable GLA mutation. In the FACETS trial in enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)-naive patients with GLA mutations amenable or non-amenable to migalastat, there was no significant difference between the migalastat and placebo groups for the proportion of patients achieving a ≥ 50% reduction in the number of globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) inclusions/kidney interstitial capillary (KIC) at 6 months [primary endpoint; intent-to-treat (ITT) population]. In the modified ITT population (i.e. patients with migalastat-amenable GLA mutations), relative to placebo, migalastat treatment significantly reduced the mean number of GL-3 inclusions/KIC and plasma lyso-globotriaosylsphingosine levels at 6 months. Among evaluable patients, migalastat maintained renal function and reduced cardiac mass after ≤ 24 months' therapy. In the ATTRACT trial in ERT-experienced patients, renal function was maintained during 18 months of migalastat or ERT; however, migalastat significantly reduced cardiac mass compared with ERT. Migalastat was generally well tolerated in both of these trials. Given its convenient oral regimen and the limited therapeutic options available, migalastat is an important treatment option for Fabry disease in patients with migalastat-amenable GLA mutations.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Outcomes in patients with Fabry disease receiving migalastat during the phase 3 FACETS trial (NCT00925301) were evaluated by phenotype. METHODS: Data were evaluated in two subgroups of patients with migalastat-amenable GLA variants: "classic phenotype" (n = 14; males with residual peripheral blood mononuclear cell α-galactosidase A <3% normal and multiorgan system involvement) and "other patients" (n = 36; males not meeting classic phenotype criteria and all females). Endpoints included estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), left ventricular mass index (LVMi), Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale diarrhea subscale (GSRS-D), renal peritubular capillary (PTC) globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) inclusions, and plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3). RESULTS: Baseline measures in the classic phenotype patients suggested a more severe phenotype. At month 24, mean (SD) annualized change in eGFRCKD-EPI with migalastat was -0.3 (3.76) mL/min/1.73 m2 in the classic phenotype subgroup; changes in LVMi, GSRS-D, and lyso-Gb3 were -16.7 (18.64) g/m2, -0.9 (1.66), and -36.8 (35.78) nmol/L, respectively. At month 6, mean PTC GL-3 inclusions decreased with migalastat (-0.8) and increased with placebo (0.3); switching from placebo to migalastat, PTC inclusions decreased by -0.7. Numerically smaller changes in these endpoints were observed in the other patients. CONCLUSION: Migalastat provided clinical benefit to patients with Fabry disease and amenable variants, regardless of disease severity.
