Active clinical trials for "Mucopolysaccharidosis I"

This is a multi-center, open label, study conducted to evaluate the safety of laronidase administered by intravenous drip infusion in Japanese patients with MPS I disease. Following baseline evaluation, patients will receive weekly infusions of JC0498 at an intravenous dose of 100 units/kg. Patient safety will be monitored continuously throughout the trial. In addition, the effects of JC0498 treatment in this patient population will be assessed by periodically evaluating aspects of MPS I disease in patients at scheduled intervals over the duration of the trial. Since patients may be eligible for the trial if they have received JC0498, a portion of the data may be captured retrospectively and recorded onto the case report forms (CRFs). This study represents the first good clinical practice (GCP) effort to characterize MPS I in the Japanese population and evaluate the effects of JC0498 on disease manifestations.

This is a clinical trial of bone marrow transplantation for patients with the diagnosis of a genetic disease of blood cells that do not have an HLA-matched sibling donor. Genetic diseases of blood cell include: Red blood cell defects e.g. hemoglobinopathies (sickle cell disease and thalassemia), Blackfan-Diamond anemia and congenital or chronic hemolytic anemias; White blood cells defects/immune deficiencies e.g. chronic granulomatous disease, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome,Osteopetrosis, Kostmann's syndrome (congenital neutropenia), Hereditary Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH); Platelets defects e.g.Congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia; Metabolic/storage disorders e.g. leukodystrophies,mucopolysaccharidoses as Hurler disease;Stem cell defects e.g.reticular agenesis, among many other rare similar conditions. The study treatment plan uses a new transplant treatment regimen that aims to try to decrease the acute toxicities and complications associated with the standard treatment plans and to improve outcome The blood stem cells will be derived from either unrelated donor or unrelated umbilical cord blood.

In this study, the investigators test 2 dose levels of thiotepa (5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg) added to the backbone of targeted reduced dose IV busulfan, fludarabine and rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) to determine the minimum effective dose required for reliable engraftment for subjects undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for non-malignant disease.

AGT-181 is a fusion protein containing alpha-L-Iduronidase that is intended to deliver the enzyme peripherally and to the brain, when administered intravenously. This study is an extension of a safety and dose ranging study to obtain long term safety and exposure data, as well as information on the biological activity of the investigational drug

The purpose of the study is to collect preliminary data on whether the drug adalimumab (also called Humira) can decrease pain and stiffness, improve quality of life, and is safe in people with mucopolysaccharidosis type I, II, or VI. In this study people will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will be treated with adalimumab the first 16 weeks of the study and then with a saline injection for the last 16 weeks of the study. The other group will start with the saline injection for 16 weeks and then switch to adalimumab for the last 16 weeks. The study subject and the study doctor and study coordinator will not know what group a subject is in until the study is done. Adalimumab is given as an injection, just under the skin, every 2 weeks. Both groups will have blood drawn at a screening visit, and then 7 more times over the 32 week study. There will be safety labs done (liver and immune function tests). Other safety tests include a chest X-ray and screening for tuberculosis exposure - these will be done at the screening visit and later in the study if there is concern for tuberculosis exposure or a persistent cough. The following will also be done at screening, the first, middle, and last study visits: 1) a pregnancy test in all girls 8 and older, 2) questionnaires that ask about pain, how MPS impacts social and physical function, and other quality of life questions, 3) height and weight. Finally, a physical exam, that includes for children and adolescents a check of where they are in puberty, will be done by a study physician at the first, middle, and last visits. There are risks to taking adalimumab that include redness and pain where the injection is given, a decreased ability to fight off infections, and others. The safety tests are designed to identify and decrease the risk associated with adalimumab. The study physicians believe that the potential benefit of adalimumab on pain, quality of life, and other MPS related problems outweigh the potential risks of treatment.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and engraftment of donor hematopoietic cells using this conditioning regimen in patients undergoing a hematopoietic (blood forming) cell transplant for Hurler syndrome, Maroteaux Lamy syndrome, Mannosidosis, or I-cell disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the development of antibodies to laronidase in patients with MPS I receiving Aldurazyme® impairs the clearance of GAG substrate.

AGT-181 is a fusion protein containing alpha-L-Iduronidase that is intended to deliver the enzyme peripherally and to the brain, when administered intravenously. This study is a safety and dose ranging study to obtain safety and exposure data, as well as information on the biological activity of the investigational drug.

The investigators hypothesize that weekly infusions of Laronidase ERT for 10-12 weeks prior to transplant and 8 weeks following transplant will result in a reduction of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) burden that is associated with decreased complications following transplant.

The main objectives of this study are to evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant human alpha-L-iduronidase [Aldurazyme® (laronidase)] in mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) patients less than 5 years old. Efficacy measurements will also be evaluated in this study.
