Purpose of study
The objectives of this clinical trial are to evaluate the safety (primary objective) of multiple intravenous (IV) doses of Replagal every other week over a 24-week period in up to 40 children (European multicentre) aged < 18 years old with Fabry Disease. Safety will be determined by standard clinical and laboratory measurements. These patients will be entered into the Fabry Outcome Survey (FOS) in order to capture long-term (5 years or more) outcome data on enzyme replacement therapy with Replagal.

Summary of study design, objectives, and ongoing research findings
This is an open label study. Prior to enrolment, patients will be screened by medical history to ensure that they meet study eligibility criteria for the diagnosis of Fabry disease. Prior to beginning dosing with Replagal, a number of baseline studies will be performed. Patients will then receive multiple infusions of Replagal at a dose of 0.2 mg/kg/dose every other week for a total of 24 weeks. The primary endpoint of this study will be an assessment of safety. In addition, a number of baseline measurements will form the basis for the assessment of the long-term outcome in FOS. At the end of the study patients will be offered to continue follow up in the Fabry Outcome Survey (FOS).
