World Data on Ambroxol for Patients With GD and GBA Related PD
IIR REGISTRY for the Collection of Real World Data on the Safety and Efficacy of Ambroxol for Patients With Gaucher Disease or GBA Carriers With Parkinson Disease

Brief summary (registry, in English)
Ambroxol hydrochloride is an oral mucolytic drug available over-the-counter for many years as cough medicine. In 2009 it was found to also act as a pharmacological chaperone (PC) for mutant glucocerebrosidase, albeit in a several-fold higher dose. Unfortunately, due to its low cost, there have been no pharma-driven clinical trials to establish the use of ambroxol. Thus, data are needed on the safety and efficacy of ambroxol for patients with Gaucher disease (GD).
