What this trial studies

This study aims to understand the long-term natural history of Gaucher disease by evaluating the efficacy of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and substrate reduction therapy (SRT). It involves systematic monitoring of health records from patients diagnosed with all three types of Gaucher disease. Health information will be collected from medical records at Duke University and from treating physicians outside the institution. The principal investigator, Dr. Kishnani, is a recognized expert in the field and will oversee the annual monitoring of patient health status without altering their standard care.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide valuable insights into the long-term management and treatment outcomes for patients with Gaucher disease.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in understanding the natural history and treatment efficacy in Gaucher disease, making this approach both relevant and necessary.
