Pompe Disease Registry Protocol
Investigating the Natural History and Outcomes of Pompe Disease, a Rare Genetic Disorder
Study Overview
The Pompe Registry is a global, multicenter, international, longitudinal, observational, and voluntary program for patients with Pompe disease, designed to track the disease's natural history and outcomes in patients, both treated and not. Data from the Registry are also used to fulfill various global regulatory commitments, to support product development/reimbursement, and for other research and non-research related purposes.
The objectives of the Registry are:
- To enhance understanding of the variability, progression, identification, and natural history of Pompe disease, with the ultimate goal of better guiding and assessing therapeutic intervention.
- To assist the Pompe medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring patients, and to provide reports on patient outcomes, to optimize patient care.
- To characterize the Pompe disease population.
- To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of alglucosidase alfa.

This study investigates the natural history and outcomes of Pompe disease, a rare genetic disorder caused by the buildup of a complex sugar called glycogen in the body's cells. The purpose of this study is to enhance understanding of the variability, progression, and identification of Pompe disease, while also characterizing the affected population. An observational study is a type of research study where data is collected by observing participants receiving routine care, without changing their treatment, which may focus on people using specific medications or having certain conditions to better understand how treatments work.
Participants in this study will not undergo any specific treatment as part of the study procedures. Instead, data will be collected on their health outcomes over time, both for those receiving treatment and those who are not. This data collection aims to assist the medical community in developing monitoring recommendations and improving patient care.
- Who can participate: Patients of any age with a confirmed diagnosis of Pompe disease are eligible to participate. This includes individuals who have documented GAA enzyme deficiency or two GAA gene mutations and have signed the informed consent form.
- Study details: Participants will contribute data about their health and disease progression over time, which will be used for research and to inform future therapeutic interventions. No specific treatments are provided as part of the study.
