Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to characterize the epidemiology and natural history of MPS diseases by building a retrospective and prospective collection of extensive phenotypic data from French MPS patients.
Newborn screening (NBS) is a global initiative of systematic testing at birth to identify babies with pre-defined severe but treatable conditions. With a simple blood test, rare genetic conditions can be easily detected, and the early start of transformative treatment will help avoid severe disabilities and increase the quality of life. Baby Detect Project is an innovative NBS program using a panel of target sequencing that aims to identify 126 treatable severe early onset genetic diseases at birth caused by 361 genes. The list of diseases has been established in close collaboration with the Paediatricians of the University Hospital in Liege. The investigators use dedicated dried blood spots collected between the first day and 28 days of life of babies, after a consent sign by parents.
This is an international prospective and retrospective registry of patients with Lysosomal Storage Diseases (LSDs) to understand the natural history of the disease and the outcomes of fetal therapies, with the overall goal of improving the prenatal management of patients with LSDs.
ScreenPlus is a consented, multi-disorder pilot newborn screening program implemented in conjunction with the New York State Newborn Screening Program that provides families the option to have their newborn(s) screened for a panel of additional conditions. The study has three primary objectives: 1) define the analytic and clinical validity of multi-tiered screening assays for a flexible panel of disorders, 2) determine disease incidence in an ethnically diverse population, and 3) assess the impact of early diagnosis on health outcomes. Over a five-year period, ScreenPlus aims to screen 175,000 infants born in nine high birthrate, ethnically diverse pilot hospitals in New York for a flexible panel of 14 rare genetic disorders. This study will also involve an evaluation of the Ethical, Legal and Social issues pertaining to NBS for complex disorders, which will be done via online surveys that will be directed towards ScreenPlus parents who opt to participate and qualitative interviews with families of infants who are identified through ScreenPlus.
Early Check provides voluntary screening of newborns for a selected panel of conditions. The study has three main objectives: 1) develop and implement an approach to identify affected infants, 2) address the impact on infants and families who screen positive, and 3) evaluate the Early Check program. The Early Check screening will lead to earlier identification of newborns with rare health conditions in addition to providing important data on the implementation of this model program. Early diagnosis may result in health and development benefits for the newborns. Infants who have newborn screening in North Carolina will be eligible to participate, equating to over 120,000 eligible infants a year. Over 95% of participants are expected to screen negative. Newborns who screen positive and their parents are invited to additional research activities and services. Parents can enroll eligible newborns on the Early Check electronic Research Portal. Screening tests are conducted on residual blood from existing newborn screening dried blood spots. Confirmatory testing is provided free-of-charge for infants who screen positive, and carrier testing is provided to mothers of infants with fragile X. Affected newborns have a physical and developmental evaluation. Their parents have genetic counseling and are invited to participate in surveys and interviews. Ongoing evaluation of the program includes additional parent interviews.
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.
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.
This study investigated the safety and efficacy of gene therapy approaches for Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI disease caused by the deficiency of arylsulfatase B (ARSB) enzyme. The aim of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single-center study followed by open-label phase, to evaluate the effects of adalimumab compared to placebo on the change from baseline in joint and skeletal disease in children and adults with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) I, II or VI.
The purpose of the study is to collect preliminary data on whether the drug adalimumab (also called Humira) can decrease pain and stiffness, improve quality of life, and is safe in people with mucopolysaccharidosis type I, II, or VI. In this study people will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will be treated with adalimumab the first 16 weeks of the study and then with a saline injection for the last 16 weeks of the study. The other group will start with the saline injection for 16 weeks and then switch to adalimumab for the last 16 weeks. The study subject and the study doctor and study coordinator will not know what group a subject is in until the study is done. Adalimumab is given as an injection, just under the skin, every 2 weeks. Both groups will have blood drawn at a screening visit, and then 7 more times over the 32 week study. There will be safety labs done (liver and immune function tests). Other safety tests include a chest X-ray and screening for tuberculosis exposure - these will be done at the screening visit and later in the study if there is concern for tuberculosis exposure or a persistent cough. The following will also be done at screening, the first, middle, and last study visits: 1) a pregnancy test in all girls 8 and older, 2) questionnaires that ask about pain, how MPS impacts social and physical function, and other quality of life questions, 3) height and weight. Finally, a physical exam, that includes for children and adolescents a check of where they are in puberty, will be done by a study physician at the first, middle, and last visits. There are risks to taking adalimumab that include redness and pain where the injection is given, a decreased ability to fight off infections, and others. The safety tests are designed to identify and decrease the risk associated with adalimumab. The study physicians believe that the potential benefit of adalimumab on pain, quality of life, and other MPS related problems outweigh the potential risks of treatment.
