- The patient has evidence of pathologic bone fractures, medullary infarctions, lytic lesions or avascular necrosis secondary to Gaucher disease confirmed by skeletal evaluation within 6 months of randomization.
- The patient has had a bone crisis (defined as pain with acute onset which requires immobilization of the affected area, narcotics for relief of pain and may be accompanied by periosteal elevation, increased white cell count, fever or debilitation of \> 3 days) within 12 months of randomization.
