FDA Review of Clinical Data Agalsidase alfa for treatment of Fabry Disease Transkaryotic Therapies, Inc. FDA/Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research
Agalsidase alfa Introduction • Proposed indication: “Replagal is indicated for long-term enzyme replacement therapy for patients with Fabry Disease (-galactosidase A deficiency)” • Proposed dose: 0.2 mg/kg IV every 2 weeks
Agalsidase alfa Overview of Studies • Studies submitted to BLA:
Agalsidase alfa Overview • Notable observations: • Pain outcomes • Renal function • Renal histopathology • Cardiac outcomes • Weight changes • Antibody formation • Safety findings
Agalsidase alfa Study 003 Design • Study 003 design: • Single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, six months • 26 Men with neuropathic pain • Evaluations • Pain scores, renal biopsy, cardiac data • Primary EP: “Worst Pain” score while “off pain medication” • Many 2⁰ and 3⁰ EP
Agalsidase alfa Study 003 Design • Analytic Plan • Primary endpoint: T-test comparison of area under the curve of pain score change from baseline for the four “off pain medication” assessments • Numerous exploratory analyses: • Repeated measures analysis • Analyses of all pain assessments (on and off pain medication; RM & AUC) • Missing value imputations
Agalsidase alfa Study 003 Results • Primary endpoint result: • P-value 0.20
Agalsidase alfa Study 003 Results • Limitations to “off medication” analyses: • Inability to verify medication use status at the time of pain score assessment • Definition of “pain medication” highly problematic • Distinguished between types of analgesics • Common analgesics (e.g. NSAID, opiates) treated as ineffective on Fabry pain
Agalsidase alfa Study 003 Results • Additional pain outcomes and exploratory analyses Other prospective planned analytic methods (repeated measures) and analyses of all pain assessments (mixed on and “off” medication; AUC or RM analyses) generally provide no support for a finding of efficacy in the reduction of pain.
Agalsidase alfa Study 003 Results • Study 003 Pain endpoint findings: Primary endpoint data cannot be interpreted due to inability to verify pain medication usage and a problematic definition of “pain medication.” Exploratory and additional pain data analyses also provide no evidence for a treatment effect.
Agalsidase alfa Renal Function Study 003 Average Cr Cl Change (mL/min)
Agalsidase alfa Renal Function Study 003 Serum Cr (mg/dL) & Cr Cl (mL/min)

Agalsidase alfa Renal Function Average GFR Change (mL/min)
Agalsidase alfa Renal Function Renal function in noncontrolled studies show no change in: • Cr Cl • GFR
Agalsidase alfa Renal Function Historical Assessment of Renal Deterioration • Average age of 38 years for onset of ESRD from • literature review of 363 subjects • Average age of 34.5 at enrollment in Study 003
Agalsidase alfa Renal Function • Limitations ofHistorical Assessment of Renal Deterioration: • Small sample size • Published data are from subjects with marked renal insufficiency at baseline
Agalsidase alfa Histopathology • Renal histopathology: • Data: • Paired samples for 21 subjects • Missing samples for 5 subjects: Agalsidase n = 2, Placebo n = 3 • Analyses: • Acute Lipid Damage Score (ALDS) • Chronic Damage Score (CDS) • Standard Histopathology
Agalsidase alfa Histopathology Average ALDS score
Agalsidase alfa Histopathology ALDS Components
Agalsidase alfa Histopathology Standard Histopathology
Agalsidase alfa Histopathology Renal histopathology limitations: • Unclear clinical correlation • Limited rigor: • Criteria for “severity” of deposition • Criteria for glomerular category • Training of pathologists • Number of slides/stains/glomeruli reviewed • Source documents unavailable
Agalsidase alfa Cardiac Outcomes • Study 005 design: • Single center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, six months • 15 men with left ventricular enlargement on echo • Cardiac biopsy, MRI, echo, EKG • Primary endpoint: Cardiac Gb3
Agalsidase alfa Cardiac Outcomes • Study 005 primary endpoint: Change from baseline in cardiac Gb3 content (nmol/mcg protein)
Agalsidase alfa Cardiac Outcomes Other cardiac outcomes: LV mass by MRI and Echo Electrocardiographic changes Study 005 Study 003 Noncontrolled studies
Agalsidase alfa Cardiac Outcomes • MRI LV Mass, Study 005, Change:
Agalsidase alfa Cardiac Outcomes • Echo LV Mass, Study 005, Change :
Agalsidase alfa Cardiac Outcomes • LV mass findings, Study 003, Change : • Similar findings in subset of subjects • with LV enlargement, • Agalsidase n = 7, Placebo n = 6
Agalsidase alfa Cardiac Outcomes • QRS duration in Study 005: • QRS duration in Study 003: *one subject with intermittent BBB, baseline = 150 or 103 msec
Agalsidase alfa Cardiac Outcomes QRS Changes in Noncontrolled Studies
Agalsidase alfa Weight • Weight changes in controlled studies:
Agalsidase alfa Weight Weight changes in noncontrolled studies: Two years of follow-up, Study 006 & 011: Prior Agalsidase group ~ 2.1 kg (n = 12) Prior Placebo group ~ 2.7 kg (n = 9) Six months follow-up in Study 014: Weight gain of ~ 0.9 kg (n = 11)
Agalsidase alfa Weight • Limitations of weight data: • Concomitant medication • steroids • diuretics • Unclear nutritional status • Average baseline weights in controlled studies ~ 70 kg
Agalsidase alfa Antibody • Antibody formation in Study 003: • 50% to 64%, depending on assay (ELISA, immunoprecipitation, neutralization) • Antibody formation (ELISA) during 003, 006, 011 time periods: • 13/25 (52%) positive at some point • 3/13 had reversion to baseline levels • 10 had persistently positive levels -- 7 had increasing magnitude
