ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryMean Change From Baseline to Month 9 in Hemoglobin (Hgb) Concentration for Each Treatment Group.Baseline to Month 9
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Month 9 in Platelet Counts for Each Treatment Group.Baseline to Month 9Values shown are observed change from Baseline to Month 9.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Month 9 in Normalized Liver Volume (Percent (%) Body Weight) for Each Treatment Group.Baseline to Month 9
Values shown are observed change from Baseline to Month 9. Measured by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Liver volume has been normalized for percent (%) body weight for each treatment arm. Liver size relative to body weight = (Liver volume \[cubic centimeter (cc)\]/Body weight \[kg\]\*1000.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Month 9 in Normalized Spleen Volume (Percent (%) Body Weight) for Each Treatment Group.Baseline to Month 9
Values shown are observed change from Baseline to month 9. Measured by Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Spleen volume was normalized for percent (%) of body weight for each treatment arm. Spleen size relative to body weight=(Spleen volume \[cc\]/Body weight \[kg\])\*100.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Month 9 in Plasma Chitotriosidase for Each Treatment Group.Baseline to Month 9.Values shown are observed change from Baseline to Month 9. Units of measure is defined as nanomole per milliliter per hour.
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Month 9 in Plasma Chemokine (C-C Motif) Ligand 18 (CCL18) for Each Treatment Group.Baseline to Month 9Values shown are observed change from Baseline to Month 9.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Developed Antibody for Each Treatment Group.Baseline to Month 9
Measure type is actual number of participants who developed antibodies to treatment; GA-GCB or imiglucerase. Antibody detection was based upon serum samples collected at various time points throughout the study. Serum samples were screened using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and positive antibody confirmation was determined using a radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIP); positive samples were also tested for enzyme neutralizing activity. Participant samples were compared to internal assay controls (positive/negative), positive samples were determined based upon individual assay criteria.
SecondaryTime to Response- Comparison of GA-GCB and Imiglucerase on the Earliest Time to Respond as Assessed Via Hemoglobin ConcentrationResponse rate at Month 9 compared to Baseline
Time to response was defined as a ≥ 1 g/dL improvement in hemoglobin levels relative to Baseline. Units (%) correlates to the percentage of participants who had a change of ≥ 1 g/dL improvement in hemoglobin levels relative to Baseline during their participation in the study.
