PAP: Change From Baseline in Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) Test Scores at Week 25	GMFM-88 was developed specifically to detect quantitative changes in gross motor function. The GMFM-88 consisted of 88 items organized into 5 dimensions; lying and rolling (17 items); sitting (20 items); crawling and kneeling (14 items); standing (13 items) and walking, running and jumping (24 items). Each item was scored on a 4-point Likert scale with scores range: 0= cannot do; 1 = initiates less then [<] 10 percentage [%] of the task; 2 = partially completes [10% to <100% of the task] and 3 = task completion. The score for each dimension was expressed as a % of the maximum score for that dimension.Total percentage score was obtained by adding the percentage scores for each dimension and dividing the sum by the total number of dimensions. Total scores ranged from 0% to 100%; where higher scores indicated better motor functions.	Baseline, Week 25
PAP: Number of Participants in Gross Motor Function Classification System-Expanded and Revised (GMFCS-E and R) Scores at Baseline and Week 25	GMFCS-E&R was a 5 level classification system for specific age ranges; observations were performed on 5 levels based on self-initiated movement, with emphasis on sitting, transfers, and mobility: Level I (walks without limitations), Level II (walks with limitations), Level III (walks using a hand-held mobility device), Level IV (self-mobility with limitations; may use powered mobility) and level V (transported in a manual wheel chair) (I to V). The distinctions between levels were based on functional limitations, the need for assistive mobility devices, and to a much lesser extent, quality of movement, and were designed to be meaningful in daily life. The lower level represented good motor functioning and higher level represented low motor functioning. Number of participants in each level of classification at Baseline and Week 25 were reported.	Baseline, Week 25
PAP: Change From Baseline in Pompe Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (Pompe-PEDI) Functional Skills Scale: Mobility Domain Test Score-Scaled Score at Week 25	Pompe-PEDI: disease specific version to assess functional capabilities and performance in children with Pompe disease from 2 months through adolescence. It comprised of Functional Skills Scale and Caregiver Assistance Scale; both scales had 3 domains: Self Care, Mobility, and Social Function. Mobility domain was used to measure change in mobility due to changes in muscle strength; consisted of 160 mobility items for participant/legal guardian. The total number of mobility items the child was capable of, was converted to a scaled score with a range of 0 to 100, where scores near "0" indicated low capability and scores near "100" indicated high capability), where higher score was indicative of greater functional ability. Scaled scores were used to interpret individual function and progress over time.	Baseline, Week 25
PAP: Change From Baseline in Quick Motor Function Test (QMFT) Scores at Week 25	QMFT was observer administered test comprised of 16 items specifically difficult for participants with Pompe disease. Each item was scored on 5-point ordinal scale ranged from 0 to 4 (higher score indicated better outcome). Total QMFT score was obtained by adding the scores of all items and ranged from 0 (unable to perform motor function tests) to 64 (normal muscle function), where higher score indicated better outcome/greater motor function.	Baseline, Week 25
PAP: Echo-Left Ventricular Mass Z-Score (LVM Z-score) M-mode at Baseline, Week 25, and Change From Baseline at Week 25	Cardiac function was evaluated using LVM Z-score as assessed by echocardiogram in M-mode. Z-Scores indicated the number of standard deviations (SD) from the mean in a normal distribution. The normal range is -2 to 2 and greater than 2 may indicate left ventricular hypertrophy. A negative change from Baseline indicated a decrease and positive change from Baseline indicated an increase in LVM Z-score. In this OM, absolute scores at Baseline and Week 25 along with Change from Baseline at Week 25 in LVM Z-score were reported.	Baseline, Week 25

Images were taken while the participants was wearing a pair of empty eyeglass frames with millimeters rulers attached as a standardized tool to measure eyelid position without camera flash. A negative change from Baseline indicated a decrease and positive change from Baseline indicated an increase in measured distance.	Baseline, Week 25
PAP: Change From Baseline in Eyelid Position Measurements: Left and Right Margin Reflex Distance (MRD) at Week 25	The MRD is the vertical distance (in millimeters) between the light reflex and the upper eyelid when the participant was looking in "primary gaze" while fixating on a light source. Images were taken while the participants was wearing a pair of empty eyeglass frames with millimeters rulers attached as a standardized tool to measure eyelid position. A negative change from Baseline indicated a decrease and positive change from Baseline indicated an increase in measured distance.	Baseline, Week 25

Images were taken while the participants was wearing a pair of empty eyeglass frames with millimeters rulers attached as a standardized tool to measure eyelid position without camera flash. A negative change from Baseline indicated a decrease and positive change from Baseline indicated an increase in measured distance.	Baseline, Week 25
