Research and Development of Lysosomal Storage Diseases

Information access date: Feb 16, 2024 (ClinicalTrials.gov)

*Please note the following:

  • This page indicates Clinical trial  when there is a Phase 1, 2, or 3 clinical trial listed on ClinicalTrials.gov that has the status of “Not yet recruiting” or “Recruiting” when the disease name is searched. Please check the various clinical studies for details.
  • The clinical trials include not only medication treatments but also hematopoietic stem cell transplants, symptomatic therapies and other related treatments.
  • If a clinical trial is not being conducted for a specific disease, No clinical trial  is indicated (e.g., a clinical trial of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for multiple metabolic disorders).
  • Existing medications may be approved only in certain countries or for certain disease types. For example, medications for the treatment of metachromatic leukodystrophy are approved only in Europe and medications for the treatment of mannosidosis are approved only in Europe and the US (as of December 2023).
  • Please refer to Introduction to the Clinical Trial Database for how to view trial information.

Lipid metabolism disorders (sphingolipidosis, lipidosis)

Lipid metabolism disorders are a general term for diseases in which lipids accumulate in the body. In the following lysosomal storage diseases, glycolipids such as globotriaosylceramide (Fabry disease) and glucosylceramide (Gaucher disease) accumulate due to the defective function of lysosomal enzyme.

Those with approved medication. = Those with approved medication.

Mucopolysaccharidoses

Mucopolysaccharidoses are a general term for diseases in which mucopolysaccharides (glycosaminoglycans: GAGs) accumulate in the body. In the following lysosomal storage diseases, deficiency of lysosomal enzymes results in the accumulation of mucopolysaccharides such as dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate.

Glycoprotein metabolism disorders

Glycoprotein metabolism disorders are a general term for diseases in which glycoproteins accumulate in the body. In the following lysosomal storage diseases, deficiency of lysosomal enzymes results in the accumulation of glycoproteins such as mannose-containing oligosaccharides (mannosidosis) and sialic acid-containing oligosaccharides (sialidosis).
