Long-Term Follow-up of Subjects Who Were Treated With ST-920
This study is a long-term follow-up for people who previously received an investigational medicine called ST-920 for Fabry disease, including a type affecting the heart. Participants had already completed at least a year of follow-up in the initial trial. This new study will continue to monitor their health for up to five years after they first received ST-920. It's designed to see how the treatment affects their health over a longer period. This is an observational study, meaning participants won't receive new ST-920 treatment but will have their health regularly checked to understand the long-term impact of the previous trial medication.
At a glance
What is this study about?
This study is called a long-term follow-up study. Its main purpose is to continue observing the health of people who have previously been treated with an investigational medicine called ST-920 for Fabry disease. Fabry disease is a rare genetic condition that can affect many parts of the body, including the heart. This study specifically includes individuals with Fabry disease, and a variation that primarily affects the heart.
Participants in this study already received ST-920 in an earlier clinical trial (called ST-920-201) and have already been followed for at least one year after their treatment. This new study is designed to gather more information over a longer period, up to a total of five years from when they first received ST-920. Researchers want to understand if the effects of the treatment last, and if there are any long-term changes or effects on their health.
This is not a study where you would receive new treatment with ST-920. Instead, it's about carefully watching and recording health details of those who have already had the treatment. This kind of follow-up is very important in medicine to get a complete picture of how new treatments work over time, which helps improve care for future patients with Fabry disease.
Key takeaways
- This study tracks long-term health after ST-920 treatment for Fabry disease.
- It's for people who participated in a previous ST-920 trial.
- No new medication is given; it's an observational study.
- Participants will be followed for up to five years after their initial treatment.
- Data collected will help understand long-term treatment effects.
- You can withdraw from the study at any time.
Who may be eligible?
To be considered for this long-term follow-up study, you must have previously taken part in the ST-920-201 clinical trial and received the ST-920 treatment in that study. Additionally, you need to have completed at least one full year of follow-up after your last treatment in that previous trial.
Finally, you must be willing and able to give your informed consent to participate in this specific long-term follow-up study. You’ll be asked to formally agree to join after understanding all the details of what it involves.
There are no reasons that would prevent someone from joining this study if they meet the above requirements.
Could this study suit you?
Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.
- Did you take part in the ST-920-201 study?
- Did you receive ST-920 treatment in that study?
- Have you completed at least a year of follow-up since your last ST-920 treatment?
- Are you 18 years old or older?
- Are you willing to discuss and provide your informed consent to join this study?
What does participation involve?
If you decide to take part in this study, you won't be receiving any new medication. Instead, the study involves regular check-ups to monitor your health over time. These check-ups will include various assessments, which might involve physical examinations, blood tests, and other procedures that are part of standard care for Fabry disease. The specific schedule and types of visits will be explained to you in detail.
Your participation will help researchers understand the long-term effects of the ST-920 treatment you received previously. The total duration of your participation in this follow-up study could be up to five years from the date you first received ST-920 in the earlier trial. This means the time you spend in this study will vary depending on how much time has passed since your last treatment in the original trial.
