Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria:
- Males and females, 18 years or older.
- Female patients of child-bearing potential or male patients with female partners of child-bearing potential must agree to use two methods of contraception, one of which must be a barrier method. Acceptable methods of contraception include hormonal products, intrauterine device, or male or female condoms.
- Diagnosis of Gaucher disease with leukocyte GCD activity level =3 nmol/mg*hr (=30 % of the mean activity of the reference range)
- Splenomegaly defined as greater than eight times the expected volume [measured volume divided by estimated volume (0.2% of body weight)] as determined by MRI volumetric analysis
- Thrombocytopenia (defined as platelet counts <120,000 per mm3) with or without anemia (defined by hemoglobin at least 1 g/dL below normal range according to sex and age).
? Patients who have not received ERT in the past or patients who have not received ERT in the past 12 months and have a negative anti-glucocerebrosidase antibody
? Patients who have not received substrate reduction therapy (SRT) in the past 12 months.
? Ability to provide a written informed consent.
