Application Number:16/817,925
Patent Claims: 1. A method of stabilizing renal function in enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)-experienced patients diagnosed with Fabry disease and having mild renal impairment with an eGFR of 60 to 90 mL/min/1.73 m.sup.2, the method comprising: administering to, a group of Fabry disease patients having mild renal impairment and a HEK assay amenable .alpha.-galactosidase A mutation, about 100 mg to about 150 mg free base equivalent (FBE) of migalastat at a frequency of once every other day; wherein the administration is effective to (i) reduce mean globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulated in organs of the patients, (ii) reduce mean plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) in the patients, and (iii) stabilize mean renal function in the patients; and wherein administration of a single dose of the migalastat to the patients is effective to provide (i) a mean plasma migalastat increase in AUC.sub.0-.infin. by about 1.2-fold compared to healthy control subjects, and (ii) no increase in mean plasma migalastat Cmax compared to health control subjects.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein administration is effective to provide (i) a mean annualized rate of change in eGFR.sub.CKD-EPI of greater than -1.0 mL/min/1.73 m.sup.2, (ii) a mean reduction in kidney interstitial capillary GL-3 inclusions of about 0.30, and (iii) a mean reduction in plasma lyso-Gb3 of about 7.7 nmol/L.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the administration is effective to reduce mean globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulated in the patients' kidneys and hearts.

4. The method of claim 2, wherein the patients have a proteinuria level of less than 100 mg/24 hr prior to initiating the administration of the migalastat.

5. The method of claim 2, wherein the patients have a proteinuria level of 100 to 1,000 mg/24 hr prior to initiating the administration of the migalastat.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the patients have a proteinuria level of greater than 1,000 mg/24 hr prior to initiating the administration of the migalastat.

7. The method of claim 2, comprising orally administering the migalastat as a salt comprising about 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride for at least 28 days, wherein the migalastat hydrochloride is in solid dosage form.

8. The method of claim 2, wherein the HEK assay amenable mutation is a mutation that, when the mutation is expressed in HEK-293 cells incubated in the presence of 10 .mu.M migalastat compared to HEK-293 cells without migalastat, is shown to have (1) a relative increase of at least 20% .alpha.-galactosidase A activity and (2) an absolute increase of at least 3% of the wild-type .alpha.-galactosidase A activity.

9. A method of stabilizing renal function in patients diagnosed with Fabry disease and having moderate renal impairment with an eGFR of 30 to 59 mL/min/1.73 m.sup.2, the method comprising: administering, to a group of Fabry disease patients having moderate renal impairment and a HEK assay amenable .alpha.-galactosidase A mutation, about 100 mg to about 150 mg free base equivalent (FBE) of migalastat at a frequency of once every other day; wherein the administration is effective to (i) reduce mean globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulated in an organ of the patients, (ii) reduce mean plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) in the patients, and (iii) stabilize mean renal function in the patients; and wherein administration of a single dose of the migalastat to the patients is effective to provide (i) a mean plasma migalastat increase in AUC.sub.0.infin. of about 1.8-fold compared to healthy control subjects, and (ii) no increase in mean plasma migalastat Cmax compared to healthy control subjects.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the patients are enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)-experienced patients.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein administration is effective to provide (i) a mean annualized rate of change in eGFR.sub.CKD-EPI of greater than -1.0 mL/min/1.73 m.sup.2, (ii) a mean reduction in kidney interstitial capillary GL-3 inclusions of about 0.39, and (iii) a mean reduction in plasma lyso-Gb3 of about 29.0 nmol/L.

12. The method of claim 9, wherein the administration is effective to reduce mean globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulated in the patients' kidneys and hearts.

13. The method of claim 9, wherein the patients have a proteinuria level of less than 100 mg/24 hr prior to initiating the administration of the migalastat.

14. The method of claim 9, wherein the patients have a proteinuria level of 100 to 1,000 mg/24 hr prior to initiating the administration of the migalastat.

15. The method of claim 9, wherein the patients have a proteinuria level of greater than 1,000 mg/24 hr prior to initiating the administration of the migalastat.

16. The method of claim 9, comprising orally administering the migalastat as a salt comprising about 150 mg of migalastat hydrochloride for at least 28 days, wherein the migalastat hydrochloride is in solid dosage form.

17. The method of claim 9, wherein the HEK assay amenable mutation is a mutation that, when the mutation is expressed in HEK-293 cells incubated in the presence of 10 .mu.M migalastat compared to HEK-293 cells without migalastat, is shown to have (1) a relative increase of at least 20% .alpha.-galactosidase A activity and (2) an absolute increase of at least 3% of the wild-type .alpha.-galactosidase A activity.

18. A method of stabilizing renal function in patients diagnosed with Fabry disease and having severe renal impairment with an eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m.sup.2, the method comprising: administering, to a group of Fabry disease patients having severe renal impairment and a HEK assay amenable .alpha.-galactosidase A mutation, about 100 mg to about 150 mg free base equivalent (FBE) of migalastat at a frequency of once every other day; wherein the administration is effective to (i) reduce mean globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulated in the kidney and heart of the patients, (ii) reduce mean plasma globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3) in the patients, and (iii) stabilize mean renal function in the patients; wherein administration of a single dose of the migalastat to the patients is effective to provide (i) a mean plasma migalastat increase in AUC.sub.0-.infin. of about 4.5-fold compared to healthy control subjects, and (ii) no increase in mean plasma migalastat Cmax compared to healthy control subjects.

19. The method of claim 18, wherein the patients are enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)-experienced patients.

20. The method of claim 18, wherein the administration is effective to reduce mean globotriaosylceramide (GL-3) accumulated in the patients' kidneys and hearts.
