Hide Outcome Measure 4

Measure Type	Primary
Measure Title	Recombinant Human Acid Alpha-Glucosidase (rhGAA) Pharmacokinetic Parameters: Area Under the Curve (AUC)
Measure Description	Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time zero (pre-dose) to 16 hours after the end of infusion. Blood sample time points were 0 (before the start of the infusion), 1 and 2 hours after the start of infusion, end of the infusion, and then 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12,and 16 hours after the end of the infusion (with a 5-minute window for time-points after the start of infusion). Pooled figures combine the values for the three timeframes.
Time Frame	weeks 0, 12 and 52
Safety Issue	No

Population Description

Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
The subgroup of patients for whom pharmacokinetic samples were obtained was based on those study sites that could accommodate pharmacokinetic sampling needs.

Certain Agreements:

Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.

There IS an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.

The agreement is:

	The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is less than or equal to 60 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.
	The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is more than 60 days but less than or equal to 180 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.
	Other disclosure agreement that restricts the right of the PI to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed. Restriction Description: In multi-site studies, PI can publish after Genzyme publishes or 18 months after study completion. PI gives Genzyme a draft 60 days before publication. Genzyme can ask that confidential information be removed, and can defer publication another 60 days upon notifying PI that it will file a patent application on inventions contained in the draft.

Limitations and Caveats

Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
