Researchers are conducting a large, multi-country observational study to assess the safety and effectiveness of pegunigalsidase alfa Elfabrio in patients with Fabry disease. This study includes patients who are currently treated with pegunigalsidase alfa in routine care and gathers data both retrospectively and prospectively. The study considers different patient groups such as those with Fabry-related heart disease, treatment-nave patients, and those transitioning from an earlier open-label extension study. The treatment being observed is pegunigalsidase alfa, administered through intravenous infusion as part of routine clinical care. Participants are grouped into cohorts based on their disease status and treatment history, including a cardiac cohort with Fabry-related heart involvement, a nave cohort who have not received prior Fabry treatment, and a long-term cohort of patients continuing from a previous clinical study. The study does not intervene in treatment but observes patients receiving this drug in real-world settings. Participants will be followed for up to four years, during which researchers will collect various clinical measurements such as kidney function estimated glomerular filtration rate, plasma lysoGb3 levels, heart structure and function via left ventricular mass index and cardiac biomarkers, and overall safety assessments. Data will be collected through routine clinical visits, imaging studies, and patient-reported outcomes. The study aims to provide comprehensive long-term information on the effects and safety of pegunigalsidase alfa in everyday clinical practice.
