Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of Enzyme Replacement Therapies Avalglucosidase Alfa and Alglucosidase Alfa Administered Every Other Week in Patients With Late-onset Pompe Disease Who Have Not Been Previously Treated for Pompe Disease
COMET
A Phase 3 Randomized, Multicenter, Multinational, Double-blinded Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Repeated Biweekly Infusions of Avalglucosidase Alfa (neoGAA, GZ402666) and Alglucosidase Alfa in Treatment naïve Patients With Late-onset Pompe Disease

Brief Summary
Primary Objective: To determine the effect of avalglucosidase alfa treatment on respiratory muscle strength measured by percent (%) predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) in the upright position, as compared to alglucosidase alfa. Secondary Objective: To determine the safety and effect of avalglucosidase alfa treatment on functional endurance (6-minute walk test, inspiratory muscle strength (maximum inspiratory pressure), expiratory muscle strength (maximum expiratory pressure), lower extremity muscle strength (hand-held dynamometry), motor function (Quick Motor Function Test), and health-related quality of life (Short Form-12).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
PAP: Change From Baseline in Percent Predicted FVC in Upright Position at Week 49
FVC is a standard pulmonary function test used to quantify respiratory muscle weakness. FVC is the volume of air (in liters) that can be forcibly blown out after full inspiration in the upright position. Least square (LS) mean and standard error (SE) were derived from mixed model for repeated measure (MMRM) model with baseline FVC \[percent (%) predicted, as continuous\], sex, age (in years at baseline), treatment group, visit, interaction term between treatment group and visit as fixed effects. Percent of predicted FVC = (actual FVC measurement)/(predicted value of FVC) \* 100. After non-inferiority (NI) testing, a test for superiority of avalglucosidase alfa versus alglucosidase alfa was performed with an overall 2-sided 5% level of significance.
Baseline, Week 49

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- The participant has confirmed acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) enzyme deficiency from any tissue source and/or 2 confirmed GAA gene mutations.
- The participant must provide signed, informed consent prior to performing any study related procedures. Consent of a legally authorized guardian(s) is (are) required for legally minor participant as defined by local regulation. If the participant is legally minor, signed written consent shall be obtained from parent(s)/legal guardian and assent obtained from participants, if applicable.
You may not qualify if:

- The participant is wheelchair dependent.
- The participant is not able to ambulate 40 meters (approximately 130 feet) without stopping and without an assistive device.
- The participant requires invasive-ventilation (non-invasive ventilation is allowed).
- The participant is not able to successfully perform repeated forced vital capacity (FVC) measurements in upright position of greater than or equal to 30% predicted and less than or equal to 85% predicted.
- The participant (and participant's legal guardian if participant is legally minor as defined by local regulation) is (are) not able to comply with the clinical protocol.
- The participant has had previous treatment with alglucosidase alfa or any investigational therapy for Pompe disease.
- The participant has prior or current use of immune tolerance induction therapy.
- The participant, if female and of childbearing potential, has a positive pregnancy test (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin) at baseline.
- The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a participant's potential participation in a clinical trial.
