Maternal and Postnatal Outcomes Study (MOS): A Global Observational Registry Assessing the Safety of Elfabrio® in Women With Fabry Disease and Their Infants During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Tests Not applicable- observational study

For Fabry Disease, Pregnancy and Pregnancy Complications

The goal of this observational registry is to evaluate the safety and outcomes of pregnancy and lactation in women with Fabry disease who are exposed to pegunigalsidase alfa within 30 days prior to conception and/or during pregnancy and lactation. The main objectives are to: * Assess pregnancy outcomes, including maternal and infant health. * Evaluate the occurrence of congenital malformations and other neonatal outcomes. This is a global, decentralized, single-arm, prospective and retrospective registry planned to enroll participants over a 10-year period. Eligible patients may be enrolled by their physician or may self-enroll, where permitted by local regulations. Data will be collected through a secure web-based platform, allowing patients and physicians to enter information via electronic case report forms (eCRFs). Pregnancy and clinical outcomes will be documented throughout pregnancy and up to 12 months post-birth. Data from self-enrolled patients will be confirmed by their primary care or attending physician. This registry is observational and does not impact clinical care or treatment decisions.

A Study to Assess the Incidence of Skin Cancers in Patients With Epidermolysis Bullosa Receiving Filsuvez

Tests Filsuvez

For Epidermolysis Bullosa, Dystrophic and Epidermolysis Bullosa, Junctional

In patients with epidermolysis bullosa (EB), collagen does not form properly, so their skin is very fragile and blisters easily. Such patients are also at greatly increased risk of developing skin cancers. Filsuvez is a topical gel used to promote healing of skin lesions in patients with certain types of EB. In this observational study, patients with either dystrophic EB (DEB) or junctional EB (JEB) will receive standard of care treatment, whether Filsuvez or something else, and will be followed for a minimum of 3 years. The main purpose is to see if the use of Filsuvez affects the likelihood of developing skin malignancies in these patient populations.

Exercise Intervention as an Adjunct to Medical Therapy in Newly Diagnosed Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Tests Home-based, remotely delivered, supervised Exercise programme

For Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if an exercise programme started shortly after diagnosis improves the fitness and mental wellbeing of patients with pulmonary hypertenion over and above medication alone. It will also learn about whether extra support can help patients keep up with exercise in the long term. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Doe exercise improve how far patients can walk over six minutes * Does exercise improve quality of life scores * Does exercise improve mental health scores * Does extra support after an exercise programme help patients to continue exercising in the long term Researchers will compare the exercise programme to a control group (a group of similar patients who do not receive the exercise programme) to see the effect that exercise has. Participants in the exercise programme group will: * Undergo an exercise programme for 12 weeks, starting around 3 months after their diagnosis * They will undertake the exercise programme at home, remotely supervised by the research team with regular contact * Visit the clinic at the end of the programme for checkups and tests * Keep a diary of their exercise and how they are feeling Participants in the control group will: -Still undergo the exercise programme, but this will happen at a delayed time, starting around 6 months after diagnosis, to allow for a comparison between the two groups. Following completion of the exerise programme: * Half of participants will receive extra support to help them continue to exercise * The other half will not receive any additional support * All patients will be reviewed 1 year following the completion of their exercise programme to monitor their ongoing exercise levels.

A Study to Learn About the Safety and Efficacy of the Drug Oleogel-S10 in Japanese Patients With Epidermolysis Bullosa

Tests Oleogel-S10

For Epidermolysis Bullosa, Junctional Epidermolysis Bullosa, Epidermolysis Bullosa, Dystrophic, Epidermolysis Bullosa, Junctional and Skin Abnormalities

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if Oleogel-S10 gel works to treat skin wounds from two types of inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB): junctional EB (JEB) or dystrophic EB (DEB) in the Japanese population. Children and adults may participate. The trial also looks at the safety of Oleogel-S10 gel. The main questions it will answer are: * Does Oleogel-S10 gel close wounds from JEB or DEB within 45 days or reduce the size of the wounds? * Are there any medical problems when using Oleogel-S10 gel? * How much of the drug ends up in your blood? The study has 2 parts. In Part 1, participants will: * Apply Oleogel-S10 gel to the EB wound dressings at least once every 4 days for 45 days. * Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests. If participants complete Part 1, they may participate in Part 2 if they choose to. In Part 2, participants will continue to receive Oleogel-S10 gel until the product is available to buy in Japan or until the trial is stopped by the company.
