Purpose
People with Fabry disease have an alteration in their genetic material (DNA) which causes a deficiency of the a-galactosidase A enzyme. Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) is a drug that helps to breakdown and remove certain types of fatty substances called "glycolipids." These glycolipids are normally present within the body in most cells. In Fabry disease, glycolipids build up in various tissues such as the liver, kidney, skin, and blood vessels because a-galactosidase A is not present, or is present in small quantities. The build up of glycolipid ("globotriaosylceramide" or "GL-3") levels in these tissues in particular is thought to cause the clinical symptoms that are common to Fabry disease. This study will test the safety and efficacy of Fabrazyme in the treatment of patients with Fabry disease.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Number of Participants Experiencing a Clinically Significant Renal, Cardiac or Cerebrovascular Event and/or Death in Fabrazyme (Agalsidase Beta) Patients as Compared to Placebo Patients [ Time Frame: up to 35 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary efficacy endpoint was the time to the first occurrence of a clinically significant renal (33% increase in serum creatinine, dialysis or transplant), cardiac (myocardial infarction, significant change in cardiac status, i.e., angina, congestive heart failure or symptomatic arrhythmia requiring medication or surgery) or cerebrovascular (stroke or transient ischemic attack) event and/or death (due to any cause) in Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) patients as compared to placebo patients.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Number of Participants Experiencing a Renal Event in Fabrazyme (Agalsidase Beta) Patients as Compared to Placebo Patients [ Time Frame: up to 35 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Time to a clinically significant renal event (33% increase in serum creatinine, dialysis or transplant) in Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) patients as compared to placebo patients.
- Slope of Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) Comparing Placebo vs Fabrazyme (Agalsidase Beta) Patients [ Time Frame: up to 35 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Summary of slopes of eGFR by baseline eGFR subgroups (>60 and <=60 mL/min/1.73m^2/year) comparing Placebo vs Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) Patients.
- Slope of Inverse Serum Creatinine Values Comparing Placebo vs Fabrazyme (Agalsidase Beta)Patients [ Time Frame: up to 35 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Summary of slopes of inverse serum creatinine by baseline serum creatinine subgroups (> or <= 1.5 mg/dL) comparing Placebo vs Fabrazyme (agalsidase beta) patients.
- Neuropathic Pain as Assessed by Question 12 of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Questionnaire (Pain at Its Worst) [ Time Frame: at 24 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Neuropathic pain was assessed by Question 12 of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI) Questionnaire on a scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine)
