Summary

This trial assesses the safety and feasibility of high-dose inspiratory muscle training (IMT) delivered remotely in Late-onset Pompe Disease (LOPD) and its effects on respiratory and patient-reported outcomes.

Who is the study for?
Adults diagnosed with Late-onset Pompe Disease (LOPD) who have been stable on their current treatment for over six months can join. They must be able to follow study instructions, have a minimum inspiratory muscle strength, and access to technology for remote participation. Those with severe lung diseases, significant mental illness, dementia or prior gene therapy for LOPD cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing high-dose inspiratory muscle training (IMT) using the Pr02 mobile device in people with LOPD. It's done remotely and aims to check if it's safe and doable while measuring its impact on breathing function and patient-reported outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of IMT are not detailed here, potential risks may include discomfort from the use of the device or fatigue due to intense respiratory exercises.
