Assessment of structural abnormalities of the left ventricle
Changes from baseline in structural abnormalities of the left ventricle assessed by echocardiography and defined by the presence of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy.
Time frame: 24 months
Assessment of left ventricular diastolic function
Changes from baseline in left ventricular diastolic function by echocardiography. Diastolic dysfunction will be assessed using early to late diastolic trans-mitral flow velocity.
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Assessment of renal function
Changes from baseline in renal function by estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate.
Time frame: 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
Assessment of peak oxygen uptake (pVO2)
Changes from baseline in peak oxygen uptake (pVO2) using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).
Time frame: 24 months
Assessment of carbon dioxide production (VCO2)
Changes from baseline in carbon dioxide production (VCO2) using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).
Time frame: 24 months
Assessment of NT-pro-BNP and high sensitivity cardiac troponin levels
Changes from baseline in NT-pro-BNP and high sensitivity cardiac troponin levels.
Time frame: 6, 12,18 and 24 months
Assessment of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR)
Changes from baseline in CMR assessed using T1 mapping to achieve myocardial tissue characterization.

Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Assessment of proteinuria and microalbuminuria
Changes from baseline in proteinuria and microalbuminuria assessed on 24-hour urine sample.
Time frame: 6, 12, 18 and 24 months
Assessment of Globotriaosylsphingosine (lyso-Gb3)
Changes from baseline in blood concentration of lyso-Gb3
Time frame: 3, 6, 12 and 24 months
Assessment of QoL outcomes using the Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36)
Changes from baseline in SF-36 score. It is a disease-specific questionnaire consisting of eight domains, each represented by a scale calculated as the weighted sum of responses in the respective sections. Each domain score ranges from 0 to 100, with all questions given equal weight. A score of 0 indicates the worst possible health status, while a score of 100 represents the best possible health status.
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Assessment of QoL outcomes using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ)
Changes from baseline in KCCQ scores. It measures patient's perception of their health status, focusing on heart failure symptoms, the impact on physical and social functioning, and the overall effect of heart failure on their QoL within a 2-week recall period. It evaluates seven domains, with scores ranging from 0 to 100, where lower scores indicate more severe symptoms or limitations, while a score of 100 represents no symptoms, no limitations, and excellent quality of life.
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Assessment of severity of neuropathic pain using Chronic Pain Grade (CPG)
Changes from baseline in CPG score. It is a 7-item questionnaire that evaluates chronic pain severity experienced over the past six months. Pain intensity is rated from 0 (no pain) to 10 ("pain as bad as it can be"). Scores for pain intensity and disability are combined to classify the overall severity of chronic pain into four grades, ranging from Grade 0 (no pain) to Grade IV (high disability, severely limiting).
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Assessment of severity of neuropathic pain using Short Form of the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI-SF)
Changes from baseline in BPI-SF score. It is a 9-item questionnaire assessing Pain Intensity and Pain Interference, as its impact on daily functions, over the past 24 hours. Pain intensity is rated on a 0 (no pain) to 10 (pain as bad as you can imagine) scale, across four measures: worst, least, average, and current pain. Pain interference with daily activities is also scored from 0 (no interference) to 10 (completely interferes).
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Assessment of gastrointestinal symptoms using the Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale (GSRS)
Changes from baseline in GSRS score. It is a 15-item questionnaire designed to assess changes in gastrointestinal symptoms across five clusters: reflux, abdominal pain, indigestion, diarrhea, and constipation. The GSRS uses a seven-point Likert-type scale, with scores ranging from 1 (no troublesome symptoms) to 7 (very troublesome symptoms).
Time frame: 12 and 24 months
Assessment of specific Fabry disease ocular findings

Anti-drug antibodies (ADAs) testing
Number of patients with ADAs
Time frame: 24 months
Infusion-Related Reactions (IRRs)
Number of patients and occurrence of IRRs
Time frame: 24 months
