View clinical trials related to Mucopolysaccharidosis IV Type A.
Filter by:Morquio A disease is a devastating systemic skeletal disease in which detailed progression and pathogenesis remain unknown. The proposed project aims to establish a non-invasive objective assessment that can be applicable to all ages of patients to better understand the progress of their disease and the most serious clinical problems (cervical instability and stenosis, tracheal obstruction, hyperlaxity of joints, hip dysplasia, and small lung capacity). The outcome of this project will lead to a more precise understanding of the skeletal/pulmonary compromise and defining clinical endpoints in this disease for future clinical trials of current or developing therapies.
The objectives of this program are: to characterize and describe the Mucopolysaccharidosis IV type A (MPS IVA) population as a whole, including the heterogeneity, progression, and natural history of MPS IVA; to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of Vimizim®, including, but not limited to, the occurrence of serious hypersensitivity reactions, anaphylaxis, and changes in antibody status; to help the medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring MPS IVA patients and reports on patient outcomes to optimize patient care; to collect data on other treatment paradigms, and evaluate the prevalences of their use and their effectiveness; to characterize the effects and safety of Vimizim treatment 5 years from enrollment in the Registry for patients under 5 years of age; to monitor pregnancy exposure, including maternal, neonatal, and infant outcomes; and to monitor patients who have completed the MOR-005 and MOR-007 clinical trials. These patients will be encouraged to enroll in the applicable Registry Substudy and will be monitored using the MOR-005 and MOR-007 assessment schedules, respectively.
