View clinical trials related to MPS - Mucopolysaccharidosis.
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.
The present study seeks to interview women with Morquio A and Morquio B syndrome, to explore their concerns surrounding pregnancy and the impact of ERT on their perspectives, in comparison with the control group of Morquio B subjects for whom no ERT treatment exists. Interviews will be conducted by a health psychologist, in-person or over the telephone. Data will be analyzed using MAXQDA 12.0 software and Grounded Theory. Differences in thematic trends between Morquio A subjects, for whom treatment exists, and a control group of Morquio B subjects, for whom there is no treatment, will be compared.
