Researchers monitor time to disease progression, overall survival, response duration, and safety outcomes. Follow-up includes evaluation of subsequent therapies and pharmacokinetics. The total participation duration can be up to several years to capture long-term outcomes.

Researchers are evaluating the effectiveness of claseprubart DNTH103 compared to a placebo in adults with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy CIDP. This Phase 3 study aims to assess treatment outcomes in participants with typical CIDP or certain CIDP variants, focusing on improving disease activity and disability measures. The study consists of several periods Part A includes an open-label phase lasting up to 13 weeks where participants receive an intravenous loading dose of claseprubart followed by subcutaneous injections every two weeks. Part B is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind treatment phase lasting up to 52 weeks for those who respond to treatment in Part A, with participants receiving either claseprubart or placebo subcutaneously every two weeks. Eligible participants may then join an optional open-label extension lasting up to 104 weeks, continuing claseprubart treatment subcutaneously every two weeks, followed by a safety follow-up period of 40 weeks. Participants will undergo regular assessments throughout the study, including evaluations of disease relapse using the Adjusted Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment INCAT score, disability scales, grip strength measurements, quality of life, fatigue severity, and antibody levels. Safety monitoring involves tracking adverse events and drug serum concentrations. The total study duration can extend up to approximately 209 weeks, including all treatment and follow-up phases, with careful monitoring of participants neurological stability and treatment responses.

Researchers are tracking patients with Fabry disease through an ongoing international observational program called the Fabry Registry. This registry collects routine clinical outcomes for patients regardless of whether they are receiving treatment. The study aims to better understand the diseases variability, progression, and natural history, including in women who carry one copy of the gene, and to help improve patient care by developing monitoring recommendations and reporting outcomes. Additionally, the registry evaluates the long-term safety and effectiveness of Fabrazyme4, a treatment used in Fabry disease. The registry includes a special pregnancy sub-registry for women with Fabry disease who are pregnant or have been pregnant. This sub-registry observes pregnancy outcomes and infant growth up to 36 months after birth, collecting medical and obstetric history and treatment details. No experimental treatments are given participants continue to receive their usual care as determined by their physicians. Data from both registries support regulatory requirements and ongoing research. Participants undergo regular clinical assessments and receive standard care from their doctors throughout the study. The research team collects data on disease progression, treatment effectiveness, pregnancy outcomes, and infant development. The study is observational, meaning no study drugs or procedures are administered. The total participation can last up to 33 years, allowing for long-term monitoring of safety and outcomes related to Fabry disease and pregnancy.

Researchers are tracking the natural history and clinical outcomes of patients with Gaucher disease through the ICGG Gaucher Registry, an international, multi-center observational program. This registry does not involve any experimental treatments, but collects information to better understand the variability, progression, and identification of Gaucher disease, aiming to improve patient care and therapeutic guidance. It also evaluates the long-term use of treatments like imiglucerase and eliglustat. The study includes two groups patients with Gaucher disease who receive routine clinical assessments and standard care as determined by their physicians, and a Pregnancy Sub-registry for women with Gaucher disease who are pregnant or have been pregnant.
