Clinical and laboratory parameters over time for the three patients treated with bortezomib-based regimen (patient 1)

Patient 1
Baseline Initial improvement phase Period of rising anti-rhGAA IgG titers Immunomodulation attempt with cyclophosphamide and rituximab Immunomodulation with bortezomib-based regimen
Prior to ERT Week 1 → week 38 of ERT Week 38 → week 86 of ERT Week 86 → week 98 of ERT Week 98 of ERT onward
Anti-rhGAA IgG titers Seronegative 1:25,600 → 1:102,400 1:102,400 → 1:204,800 1:204,800 1:204,800 → 1:100
Cardiac status (LVMI (g/m2))a 278.6 135 138.0 → 228.6 228.6 → 360.3 (With significant LVOTO; peak velocity 5.3 m/s) 360.3 → 72.0 (With no evidence of LVOTO)
Urinary Glc4 (mmol/mol creatinine) 39.9b NA 130.4c (Week 64) 153.3c (Week 92) 83.4d (Week 159)
Gross motor status Generalized hypotonia Sat unsupported; rolled over; raised arms against gravity; bore weight on lower extremities Regression of motor milestones; myopathic facies Voluntary motor activity limited to ocular movements only Reacquisition of previously lost motor milestones; regained ability to move fingers and toes, bend knees and nod head; recovery of muscles of facial expression and improvement in speech function
Respiratory status No respiratory support No respiratory support Full-time ventilator dependent (PC/PEEP of 18/6 cm H2O, breathing rate: 6/min) (week 55 onward) Increase in ventilation requirement (PC/PEEP of 15/6 cm H2O, breathing rate increased to 30/min) Decrease in ventilation requirement (PC/PEEP of 15/5 cm H2O, breathing rate 10/min); ability to come off ventilator frequently for short periods (~8–10 min) (week 159)
Feeding status Oral Oral Gastrostomy tube (week 55 onward) Gastrostomy tube Gastrostomy tube

Baseline: before initiation of ERT.

ERT, enzyme replacement therapy; GAA, glucosidase α; LVMI, left-ventricular mass index; LVOTO, left-ventricular outflow tract obstruction; NA, not available; PC/PEEP, pressure control/positive end-expiratory pressure; urinary Glc4, urinary glucose tetrasaccharide.

a

Upper limit of normal LVMI: 65 g/m2 (>2 SD higher than upper limit of the age-appropriate normal mean).

b

Control value for ages 1 to 6 months: 20 mmol/mol of creatinine (95th percentile).

c

Control value for ages 1 to 3 years: 8 mmol/mol of creatinine.

d

Control range for ages >3 years: 3 mmol/mol of creatinine.
