Active clinical trials for "Mucopolysaccharidosis II"

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of three doses of GC1111 in patients with Hunter Syndrome. Participants will be randomized to one of three doses of GC1111 or comparator.

Hunter syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis II, [MPS II]) is a rare, genetically linked lysosomal storage disease (LSD) caused by deficiency of the enzyme, iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S). Most MPS II patients will present with some degree of neurodevelopmental involvement, ranging from severe cognitive impairment and behavioral problems to mildly impaired cognition. This is an observational study; no investigational treatment will be administered. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the neurodevelopmental status of pediatric patients with MPS II over time and to gain information to guide future treatment studies in this patient population.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of anti-idursulfase antibodies on idursulfase safety (measured by infusion related adverse events) between patients who develop anti-idursulfase antibodies and patients who do not after long-term idursulfase enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).

The purpose of this study is to collect data that will increase understanding of Hunter syndrome. The data from HOS may provide guidance to healthcare professionals about disease treatment options.

The purpose of the study is to collect data on CSF biomarkers in patients with Hunter Syndrome that would serve as reference data for comparison with cognitively impaired patients with Hunter syndrome, patients with other lysosomal storage diseases, or other diseases with CNS involvement.

The Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a family of genetic metabolic disorders, caused by specific enzyme deficiencies which result in accumulation of partially degraded glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) within various tissues. As GAGs are common in the body a number of different organ systems can be affected. Involvement of the upper and lower respiratory tract in MPS Type II results in significant airway compromise, with progressive airway obstruction being responsible for a significant proportion of the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition. Hearing loss is a universal finding in MPS, with a third of patients suffering with severe profound hearing loss. There is an unmet need for strong clinical evidence to guide treatment of head, neck and respiratory disease in MPS disorders. A Core Outcome Set (COS) describes the minimum outcome data that should be measured in a clinical study for a particular condition. The lack of an agreed COS for MPS II in general, and specifically head, neck and respiratory disease, makes comparison between studies difficult. There is also a lack of information detailing patient and parent perspectives on the MPS disorders. The ideal COS for head, neck and respiratory disease associated with MPS II would combine both patient/parent and clinician opinion and could be used in the design of all subsequent clinical studies. Following literature review the investigators have created a list of outcomes previously reported for qualitative and quantitative studies investigating head, neck and respiratory disease in MPS II. For the proposed research the investigators will seek opinions of patients, parents, clinicians and scientists to rate these outcomes via the Delphi method. Outcomes scored highest by patients, parents, clinicians and scientists will form a COS for head, neck and respiratory disease in MPS II. The development of a COS can help limit variability outcomes in studies investigating different interventions in MPS II.

The purpose of this non-interventional, observational study which is conducted in Mexico is to evaluate the safety profile of elaprase (idulsurfase) in participants with hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharydosis II) being treated with elaprase.

Neurobehavioral function and quality of life are compromised in many patients with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) disorders. The long-term goals of this research are to: 1) more accurately inform patients/parents regarding potential neurobehavioral outcomes; 2) develop sensitive measures of disease progression and central nervous system (CNS) treatment outcome; and 3) help clinical researchers develop direct treatments for specific brain structures/functions. The investigators hypothesize that specific and localized neuroimaging and neuropsychological findings and their relationship will be distinct for each MPS disorder. It is further hypothesized that without treatment, functions will decline and structure will change over time in a predictable fashion, and will be related to locus of abnormality and stage of disease.

This study is being done to learn how many children and young adults who come to pediatric rheumatology clinics may have mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). The study tests for 4 of the types of MPS: I, II, IVA, and VI. This can help researchers decide whether to create a screening program for MPS at pediatric rheumatology clinics. This study is being done in rheumatology clinics because the first symptoms of MPS are often joint problems such as stiff joints, and rheumatologists may be the first doctors that a patient with MPS visits. The study will also evaluate the utility of dried blood spot testing for MPS.

Hypothesis: Children diagnosed with a lysosomal disease will exhibit developmental, adaptive, and behavioral strengths and difficulties depending upon 1) biomedical risk factors (i.e. the specific genetic disorder responsible for the illness); 2) available modifying interventions, whether medical or behavioral; and 3) social risks in the children's families, neighborhoods and communities. A valid and reliable telephone-based surveillance system can successfully collect the data required to elucidate these developmental, adaptive and behavioral strengths and difficulties.
