Key inclusion & exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patient must provide signed, informed consent prior to performing any study-related
procedures.

- Patient must have a diagnosis of Pompe disease based on deficient endogenous GAA
activity in cultured skin fibroblasts of less than or equal to 40% of the normal mean
of the testing laboratory and 2 confirmed GAA gene mutations;

- Patient must be greater than or equal to 8 years of age at the time of enrollment;

- Patient must be able to ambulate 40 meters (approximately 130 feet) in 6 minutes on
each test performed on two consecutive days (use of assistive devices such as a
walker, cane, or crutches, is permitted);

- Patient must have an FVC of greater than or equal to 30% and < 80% predicted in the
upright position;

- Patient must have a postural drop in FVC (liters) of at least 10% from the upright to
the supine position;

- Patient must have proximal muscle weakness in the lower limbs based on unilateral QMT
of the knee extensors defined as < 80% of the predicted value based on age, gender and
body size

- Patient must be able to tolerate pulmonary function testing (PFT) and muscle testing
in the supine position;

- Patient must have testable muscle in bilateral knee flexors and knee extensors, and
testable muscle in bilateral elbow flexors and elbow extensors;

- Patient must be able to provide reproducible muscle and pulmonary function test
results;

- Patient (and patient's legal guardian if patient is < 18 years of age) must have the
ability to comply with the clinical protocol;

- A female patient of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine)
at Baseline. Note: All female patients of childbearing potential and sexually mature
males must use a medically accepted method of contraception throughout the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patient requires the use of invasive ventilatory support;

- Patient requires the use of noninvasive ventilatory support while awake and in an
upright position;

- Patient has received enzyme replacement therapy with GAA from any source;

- Patient has used an investigational product within 30 days prior to study enrollment,
or is currently enrolled in another study which involves clinical evaluations, unless
prior approval is given by Genzyme;

- Patient has a major congenital anomaly, medical condition, serious intercurrent
illness, or other extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator,
may significantly interfere with study compliance, including all prescribed
evaluations and follow-up activities;
