This study investigates the effects of an investigational treatment on mothers and their infants during lactation. It focuses on the condition known as Fabry disease, which is a genetic disorder that affects the body's ability to break down a specific type of fat, leading to a range of symptoms. The purpose of this study is to understand how the investigational treatment interacts with lactation and the health of both the mother and the infant.
Participants in this study will follow specific procedures, including regular assessments of medical history, pregnancy outcomes, genotyping, and antibody testing. The study will also involve evaluations to monitor the health of the infants who receive breast milk from mothers undergoing the investigational treatment.
- Who can participate: Eligible participants include mothers from the Fabry Registry who have received the investigational treatment while lactating. Infants who receive breast milk from these mothers can also participate.
- Study details: Participants will need to adhere to a schedule of assessments, including medical history and antibody testing. Infants will be monitored for health as they receive breast milk from mothers on the investigational treatment.
- Study Timelines: The study will last 24 months.
