Study Summary

This is a parallel arm, Phase 3, double-blind, double-dummy, active-comparator, 2 arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of daily oral venglustat versus intravenous Cerezyme infusions every two weeks for improvement or stabilization of the neurological manifestations and maintenance of systemic disease stability in participants aged ≥12 and <18 years and adult patients with Gaucher disease Type 3 (GD3) who have been treated with Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) for at least 3 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The participant has received ERT (Cerezyme or other ERT; as deemed appropriate bylocal regulations) for at least 3 years prior to enrollment, on a stable dose for atleast 6 months, is deemed clinically stable for at least 1 year by the Investigatorand is within the therapeutic goals as all of the following:

  • Hemoglobin level of ≥11.0 g/dL for females and ≥12.0 g/dL for males

  • Platelet count ≥100 000/mm3

  • Spleen volume <10 multiples of normal (MN)

  • Liver volume <1.5 MN

  • No bone crisis and free of symptomatic bone disease such as bone painattributable to osteonecrosis and/or pathological fractures within 3 monthsprior to screening

  • Adult participant is ≥18 years of age

  • Pediatric participant is ≥12 years <18 years of age

  • The participant has a clinical diagnosis of GD3 and a documented deficiency of acidbeta-glucosidase activity confirming this diagnosis.

  • The participant has a modified SARA score of 1 or above.

  • The presence of gaze palsy, predominantly horizontal, with slow or absent saccades.

  • If the participant has a history of seizures, they are well controlled underappropriate medication not identified as a strong or moderate inducer or inhibitorof CYP3A.

  • Participants ≥ 30 kg of weight

  • Contraception for sexually active male or female participants; not pregnant orbreastfeeding; no sperm donating for male participant

  • Signed written informed assent/consent

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The participant is blood transfusion-dependent.

  • Prior esophageal varices or liver infarction or current liver enzymes (alanineaminotransferase [ALT]/ aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) or total bilirubin >2times the upper limit of normal, unless the participant has a diagnosis of GilbertSyndrome.

  • The participant has any clinically significant disease, other than GD, includingcardiovascular (congenital cardiac defect, coronary artery disease, valve disease orleft sided heart failure; clinically significant arrhythmias or conduction defect),hepatic, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, neurologic, endocrine, metabolic (eg,hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia) or psychiatric disease, other medical conditions, orserious intercurrent illnesses that may preclude participation in the opinion of theInvestigator.

  • The participant has renal insufficiency, as defined by an estimated glomerularfiltration rate <30 mL/min/1.73m2 at the screening visit.

  • The participant has a history of cancer, except for basal cell carcinoma.

  • The participant has progressive myoclonic epilepsy.

  • The participant is pregnant (has a positive serum beta-human chronic gonadotropin [β-hCG]) or lactating.

  • The participant requires use of invasive ventilatory support.

  • The participant requires use of noninvasive ventilator support while awake forlonger than 12 hours daily.

  • The participant is scheduled for in-patient hospitalization including electivesurgery, during the study.

  • The participant has had a major organ transplant (eg, bone marrow or liver).

  • A history of drug and/or alcohol abuse within the past year prior to the screeningvisit.

  • Chaperone therapy within 6 months, substrate reduction therapy other than venglustatwithin 6 months or venglustat substrate reduction therapy prior to enrollment.

  • Exposure to any investigational drug within the last 30 days or 5 half-lives fromscreening, whichever is longer.

  • The participant has received strong or moderate inducers or inhibitors of CYP3Awithin 14 days or 5 half-lives from screening, whichever is longer, prior toscreening. This also includes the consumption of grapefruit, grapefruit juice, orgrapefruit containing products within 72 hours of starting venglustat. Theparticipant is unwilling to abstain from consumption of grapefruit, grapefruitjuice, or grapefruit containing products for the duration of the treatment period.

  • The participant, in the opinion of the investigator, is unable to adhere to therequirements of the study or unable to undergo study assessments (eg,contraindication for MRI).

  • Type of participant and disease characteristic: the participant has had a totalsplenectomy prior to enrollment. The patient had a partial splenectomy within 3years prior to randomization.

  • Participant not suitable for participation, whatever the reason, as judged by theInvestigator, including medical or clinical conditions, or participants potentiallyat risk of noncompliance to study procedures

  • Sensitivity to any of the study interventions, or components thereof, or drug orother allergy that, in the opinion of the Investigator, contraindicatesparticipation in the study
