Active clinical trials for "Mucopolysaccharidoses"

Phase I/II, open-label, multicenter, multinational (Japan, Brazil and US),designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics and explore the efficacy for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I).

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of rare inherited disorders characterized by a deficiency of lysosomal enzymes responsible for the normal degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Medical need for treatment of MPS is still very high due to the poor penetration of the recombinant enzymes into the blood brain barrier as well as the ocular barriers and into tissues that are poorly vascularized, such as cartilages and bones. Odiparcil is an orally active compound that allows the synthesis of soluble glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), mainly chondroitin sulfate (CS) and dermatane sulfate (DS). The neosynthesized solubles GAGs are then excreted in urine. By diverting endogenous GAG synthesis to the synthesis of soluble odiparcil linked GAGs, odiparcil should decrease the intracellular pool of GAGs and consequently decrease the lysosomal GAG accumulation. The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of two doses of odiparcil in MPS VI patients and to provide evidence to enable the selection of the relevant dose of odiparcil for phase III study. The secondary objective of this study is to characterize the dose response, PK and PD of odiparcil.

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 is a safety and tolerability study to obtain safety and exposure data as well as information on the biological activity of the investigational drug. This is a two-stage, sequential, single and multi-dose study of AGT-181 in patients with MPS I. The first stage will be an open-label, single-dose, dose-escalation cohort study and the second stage will be an open-label, multi dose, adaptive dose escalation cohort study.

This Phase 3 extension study will evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of BMN 110 2.0 mg/kg/week and/or BMN 110 2.0 mg/kg/every other week in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (Morquio A Syndrome).

Rationale: Chemotherapy administration before a donor stem cell transplant is necessary to stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, the donor white blood cells can provide the missing enzyme that causes the metabolic disease. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving a monoclonal antibody, alemtuzumab, before transplant and cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil before and after transplant may stop this from happening. This may be an effective treatment for inherited metabolic disorders. Purpose: The design of this study is to achieve donor cell engraftment in patients with standard-risk inherited metabolic diseases with limited peri-transplant morbidity and mortality. This will be achieved through the administration of the chemotherapy regimen described. The intention is to follow transplanted patient for years after transplant monitoring them for complications of their disease and assisting families with a multifaceted interdisciplinary approach.

The objective of this study is to determine the safety of once weekly dosing of idursulfase 0.5 mg/kg administered by intravenous (IV) infusion for male Hunter syndrome patients ≤ 5 years old.

Study TKT024EXT was a long-term, single-arm, open-label extension of Study TKT024, a one year Phase 2/Phase 3 registration study. The primary objective of this extension study was to collect long-term safety and clinical outcome data in Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II), also known as Hunter Syndrome, from the Phase 2/Phase 3 Study TKT024. All patients enrolling into this study received weekly active treatment with idursulfase, the primary dosing regimen investigated in Study TKT024. Hunter Syndrome is an X-linked recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by a deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase, an enzyme required to catabolize glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) in cells. As a result, GAGs accumulate in the lysosomes leading to cellular engorgement, organomegaly, tissue destruction, and organ system dysfunction. Hunter Syndrome is a rare disease with an estimated incidence of 1 in 162,000 live births.

The Phase 3 study will use a novel randomized, intra-subject placebo-controlled, single crossover design, referred to as Blind Start, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of UX003. The Blind Start is a novel design whereby participants will be randomized to 1 of 4 groups, each representing a different treatment sequence, and will cross over to UX003 at different pre-defined time points in a blinded manner. All groups will receive a minimum of 24 weeks treatment with 4 mg/kg UX003 every other week (QOW).

The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the safety of human placental-derived stem cells (HPDSC) given in conjunction with umbilical cord blood (UCB) stem cells in patients with various malignant or nonmalignant disorders who require a stem cell transplant. Patients will get either full dose (high-intensity) or lower dose (low intensity) chemo- and immunotherapy followed by a stem cell transplantation with UCB and HPDSC.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of rhASB treatment in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis VI.
