Filter by:Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are multisystemic diseases with significant clinical overlap between their types, with cardiac problems being among the most commonly observed manifestations and are also among the main causes of mortality in these patients. For some of the cardiovascular manifestations, such as aortic root dilation and valve diseases, there is no effective treatment currently available. Losartan, on the other hand, has been shown to be an effective drug for dilation of the aortic root, at least in animal models. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of losartan in patients with MPS VI and other mucopolysaccharidoses.
This Phase 3 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2.0 mg/kg/week BMN 110 and 2.0 mg/kg/every other week BMN 110 in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (Morquio A Syndrome). There is currently no standard accepted treatment for MPS IVA other than supportive care. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) may be a potential new treatment option for MPS IVA patients. BMN 110 is administered to MPS IVA patients by IV infusion, allowing cellular uptake by the mannose-6-phosphate receptor and transportation to the lysosomes. This enzyme uptake into the lysosomes is hypothesized to promote increased catabolism of keratan sulfate (KS) in tissue macrophages, hyaline cartilage, other connective tissues, and heart valve, and reduce the progressive accumulation of KS which is responsible for the clinical manifestations of the disorders.
This multicenter, open-label extension study is designed to assess long-term efficacy and safety of 2.0 milligrams (mg)/kilogram(kg)/week of BMN 110 in patients diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA). Patients with MPS IVA, who enrolled in a prior BioMarin sponsored clinical study of BMN 110 (NCT00884949; Study Identification Number MOR-002), were eligible to enroll in this study (except patients who enrolled in NCT01275066; Study Identification Number MOR-004).
This multicenter, open-label study is designed to assess safety, dose-response using pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) measures, and clinical efficacy of BMN 110 in subjects between 5 and 18 years of age, diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA).
This multicenter, multinational, longitudinal study will quantify endurance and respiratory function in subjects diagnosed with MPS IVA and will better characterize the spectrum of symptoms and biochemical abnormalities in MPS IVA disease over time.
