EU PAS Register NumberEUPAS10301
Official titleMyozyme (alglucosidase alfa) Safety Information Packet effectiveness evaluation: a health care professional survey
Study title acronym
Study typeObservational study
Brief description of the studyThe Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) requested Genzyme, a Sanofi Company to further update the Myozyme Safety Information Packet (SIP) and to propose a study to evaluate the effectiveness of the updated version of the SIP. To comply with PRAC requirements, a health care professional survey that assesses the effectiveness of the updated SIP is proposed. The survey consists of two waves (wave 1 and wave 2) which are to be carried out pre- and post-implementation of the updated SIP, at least 18 months apart. The survey is intended to assess whether implementation of the updated SIP has led to increased awareness, usage, usefulness, readability, understanding, clinical knowledge and behavioural implementation of key safety messages compared with the previous version of the SIP. Distribution and opinion of HCPs about the SIP will also be evaluated.

11. Scope of the study
What is the scope of the study?
Effectiveness evaluation
Primary scope : Effectiveness evaluation
12. Main objective(s)
What is the main objective of the study?
The main objective of this survey is to assess awareness, readability, usage, usefulness, understanding, knowledge of the management of risks associated with Myozyme and behavioral implementation of key safety information contained in the updated safety information packet (SIP) as compared to the previous version of the SIP among HCPs.
Are there primary outcomes?Yes
The updated safety information packet (SIP) will be compared to the previous version of the SIP for differences in: awareness, usage of the SIP, levels of HCPs’ knowledge and understanding related to the key messages, behavior of HCPs around key safety messages and levels of readability, degree of usefulness
Are there secondary outcomes?Yes
The updated safety information packet (SIP) will be compared to the previous version of the SIP for differences in proportion of HCPs who have received the SIP, determinants of response, opinion and qualitative reasons for lack of immunological testing.
13. Study design
What is the design of the study?
Cross-sectional study
14. Follow-up of patients
Will patients be followed up?Not applicable/no follow-up
15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
The primary analysis will assess, for each survey wave, awareness, readability, usage, usefulness, understanding, patient management and behavioural implementation by percentage and mean scores. Comparisons of these endpoints between the two waves will be made. For each survey, distribution and opinion will be assessed by percentage.
