This is a 12-month, parallel treatment, Phase 3, double-blind, randomized, placebo controlled study to evaluate the effect of venglustat on neuropathic and abdominal pain symptoms of Fabry disease in adult participants with Fabry disease who are treatment-naïve or untreated for at least 6 months.
- Study visits will take place approximately every 3 months.
- The double-blind period will be followed by an open-label extension (OLE) during which participants who have completed the double-blind period will be treated with venglustat for up to an additional 12 months.

- Percent change from baseline at 6 months in the most bothersome symptom of 3 Fabry Disease Patient-Reported Outcome (FD-PRO) items (neuropathic pain in upper extremities, neuropathic pain in lower extremities, and abdominal pain) [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 months ]
- Percent change from baseline at 12 months in the most bothersome symptom of 3 Fabry Disease Patient-Reported Outcome (FD-PRO) items (neuropathic pain in upper extremities, neuropathic pain in lower extremities, and abdominal pain) [ Time Frame: From baseline to 12 months ]
- Percent change in plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-GL-3) [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 month and 12 months ]
- Frequency of rescue pain medication use [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 months and 12 months ]Number of days with use of rescue pain medications during the 6-month treatment period, divided by duration of the 6-month treatment period and multiplied by 100. The same definition will be used for the 12-month period.
- Change in the percentage of days with at least 1 stool reflecting diarrhea (Bristol Stool Form Scale [BSFS] Type 6 or 7) [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 month and 12 months ]
- Percent change in tiredness component of FD-PRO [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 month and 12 months ]
- Proportion of responders in neuropathic or abdominal pain, as assessed by FD-PRO [ Time Frame: At 6 months and 12 months ]Response is defined as at least a 30% decrease from baseline in the most bothersome of 3 FD-PRO items between neuropathic pain in upper extremities, neuropathic pain in lower extremities, and abdominal pain
- Number of participants with adverse event (AE) and serious adverse event (SAE) [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 month and 12 months ]
- Change in the lens clarity (new or worsening lens opacities) by ophthalmological examination (by slit lamp exam at Visit 2 and Visit 6) [ Time Frame: From baseline to 12 months ]
- Change in Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) score [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 month and 12 months ]
- Plasma venglustat concentrations at prespecified visits over the study duration [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 month and 12 months ]
- Maximum venglustat plasma concentration (Cmax) [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 month and 12 months ]
- Time to maximum venglustat plasma concentration (tmax) [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 month and 12 months ]
- Area under the venglustat plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to 24 hours (AUC0-24) [ Time Frame: From baseline to 6 month and 12 months ]

- Patients who are treatment-naïve or without prior treatment with an approved or experimental therapy for Fabry disease within at least 6 months prior to screening.
- Elevated plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lysoGL3) at screening, or a previous biopsy of any organ that shows deposition of GL3.
- Average score of ≥3 (0=no symptom, 10=symptom as bad as you can imagine) on the participant-defined most-bothersome symptom (among neuropathic pain in upper extremities, neuropathic pain in lower extremities, or abdominal pain), as measured by the Fabry Disease Patient-Reported Outcome (FD-PRO) at screening.
