Effects of Immunomodulation Therapy on Anti-rhGAA Immune Response in Subjects With Pompe Disease Receiving rhGAA Enzyme Replacement Therapy
Hypothesis: the effectiveness of treatment of Pompe Disease with rhGAA enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is limited at least in part because patients develop antibodies against the provided rhGAA enzyme. Treatment with immunomodulatory drugs may dampen or eliminate the anti-rhGAA immune response in patients receiving ERT, thereby allowing for greater ERT efficacy. Studying the immune response to rhGAA may provide valuable insight into the role of the immune system in the effectiveness of ERT for Pompe Disease.

Conditions
- Pompe Disease
Interventions
- Rituximab
- Miglustat
Primary outcomes
- Anti-rh GAA antibody titers — 52 weeks
Antibody titer for anti-rh-GAA will be evaluated at baseline and every 4-8 weeks for 52 weeks of participation in the primary study. For subjects who continue participation in the extension study (\>52 weeks - 5 years), anti-rh-GAA antibody titers will be evaluated every 12 - 24 weeks.
