Filter by:There is currently no treatment for MPS IVA other than supportive care for the clinical manifestations of the disease. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with BMN 110 to replace the deficient GALNS is a potential new treatment option for MPS IVA patients. BMN 110, containing recombinant human GALNS (rhGALNS) developed by BioMarin is expected to reduce the progressive, pathologic accumulation of KS, and improve signs and symptoms of the disease. The objective of this Phase 3B open label study (110-502) will be to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2.0 mg/kg/week (qw) of BMN 110 in Australian patients with MPS IVA. In addition, a number of secondary and tertiary efficacy endpoints will also be investigated. The dose and regimen of BMN 110 have been selected on the basis of data from a Phase 1/2 clinical study with BMN 110, nonclinical and in vitro studies with BMN 110, and clinical and nonclinical data from other enzyme replacement therapies. Extension Phase is included per amendment dated 10Mar 2014: To provide patients enrolled in the Initial Phase access to BMN 110 until commercial product becomes available in Australia and continue to assess long-term safety
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.
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.
UX003-CL201 is an open-label Phase 1/2 study to assess the safety, efficacy, and dose of UX003 in MPS 7 patients via intravenous (IV) administration every other week (QOW) for 36 weeks with up to an additional 36 weeks from the optional continuation period. Up to 5 participants, who are between 5 and 30 years of age inclusive, will be enrolled and treated with UX003. The initial 12-week treatment period will be followed by a 24-week forced dose titration period to assess the optimal dose. Participants who complete both the initial treatment and forced dose titration periods will continue treatment in a 36- week continuation period.
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.
Mucopolysaccharidosis IV, also known as MPS IV or Morquio disease, is a rare autosomal recessive genetic lysosomal storage disorder. Research thus far regarding lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) in general, including Morquio, has primarily focused on exploring the causes of and finding a treatment for the physical aspects of the various diseases. Less attention has been paid to the psychological or emotional toll of these diseases, whether they are direct symptoms of the diseases themselves or reactions to living with a chronic progressive disease. It is well established in the health psychology literature, however, that the interaction between our physical health and our psychological health is bidirectional; that is, just as our physical health affects us emotionally (e.g. chronic pain can contribute to depression), so can our psychological health affect us physically (e.g. anxiety can contribute to feelings of chest pain). It is thus critically important to pay attention to the emotional and psychological symptoms associated with all lysosomal storage diseases, including Morquio, and expand our treatment standard of care to include mental health treatment, if necessary. The first step in understanding and treating psychological conditions in Morquio disease is determining the natural occurrence of psychological symptoms in this population in comparison with non-medical populations. As little has been done in this regard, a pilot study documenting the occurrence rate of psychological issues and overall quality of life in patients with Morquio is the first item in order and will be the focus of this study. Approximately 20 patients with Morquio disease will be invited to participate, recruited through Emory's Lysosomal Storage Disease Center, as well as through attendance at Morquio support groups and relevant regional, national and/or international meetings. Once consented, patients will be asked to complete three different self-report questionnaires, including the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) Adult Self-Report (ASR) or Older Adult Self-Report (OASR) questionnaire, the Short Form 36-item Health Questionnaire (SF-36), and the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Group aggregate data only will be reported; individual questionnaire content and results will be held confidential, except as in accordance with Georgia law relating to reporting of child or elder abuse, suicidal and/or homicidal intent. Completion of these questionnaires will complete subjects' participation in this pilot study.
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Quantitative urine screening for mucopolysaccharides (MPS) has been the primary method for detecting mucopolysaccharidoses in children. This method may not be sufficiently sensitive and may miss some patients with arylsulfatase B (ARSB) deficiency. Investigators propose to identify patients retrospectively and prospectively who carry a diagnosis of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, multiple epiphyseal dysplasia, bilateral proximal femoral epiphyseal dysplasia, or bilateral Legg-Calve-Perthes. For these patients, investigators will perform enzyme testing on a blood sample which will identify MPS VI or IVA. Patients who have an earlier diagnosis of MPS are likely to have better health outcomes with medical management. Therefore, it is important to determine effective diagnostic methods. Investigators believe that bilateral hip involvement should alert the clinician to the possibility of MPS VI and further examination. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that the correct diagnoses of two MPS storage disorders are delayed in patients with bilateral proximal femoral epiphyseal dysplasia and normal quantitative urine MPS studies.
Study IDS116406 will be a non-interventional, phlebotomy study in Hunter Syndrome patients who are currently being treated with idursulfase, an enzyme replacement therapy, and in at least a single patient who is naïve to treatment, if possible to recruit. All patients enrolled into the study will have a single blood draw for the analysis of antibodies induced by this enzyme replacement therapy (idursulfase). Patient samples with positive responses to antibodies induced by idursulfase will be used to further evaluate whether the antibodies induced by idursulfase bind to GSK2788723 molecules in vitro and if these antibodies neutralize the bioactivity of GSK2788723 in vitro. Each subject will have a screening visit, which may occur at their regularly scheduled out-patient visit. If the patient consents to participate in the study, a blood sample (total volume of approximately 3mL) for immunogenicity analysis will be drawn before their current treatment infusion
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) syndromes are disorders characterized by enzyme deficiencies, and they have been linked to heart health complications. However, there are currently no proven markers of heart and artery health for this population. The main purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the ease and convenience of a non-invasive measurement of artery function in MPS I, MPS II and MPS VI patients compared to healthy control subjects. An observational study is a research design meaning that there is no treatment in this study. The research questions are: 1. Is the artery health of MPS I, II and VI patients different than healthy controls? 2. Is the artery health of MPS VI patients different than MPS I and II patients? It is hypothesized that MPS patients will have poorer outcomes of artery health compared to healthy controls.
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.
