This study's investigators previously demonstrated the potential utility of non-invasive carotid ultrasonography to calculate carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and stiffness (as measured by the three parameters, carotid cross-sectional distensibility \[cCSD\], carotid cross-sectional compliance \[cCSC\], and carotid incremental elastic modulus \[cIEM\]) in people with mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). Investigators also studied arterial gene expression in animal models of MPS, and identified upregulation of a number of markers potentially tied to atherosclerosis and inflammation. These include the atherosclerotic marker known as Clusterin (CLU), Cathepsin S, Elastin, and the inflammatory cytokines interleukin 1-α, interleukin 1-β, interleukin 2, and interleukin 6. Other studies have identified elevation in circulating tumor necrosis factor-α correlating with pain and physical disability in certain mucopolysaccharidoses. Since these studies are cross sectional, and not longitudinal, this study aims to annually measure these previously studied biomarkers (carotid measurements, circulating cytokines, cathepsin S, elastin, and CLU) in a large cohort of MPS patients. This study is a 3-year, prospective, anonymized, longitudinal assessment of cardiovascular structure, function, and circulating biomarkers in patients with mucopolysaccharidoses.
This is a prospective, observational multicenter study to collect blood from patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type IH undergoing laronidase therapy and a stem cell transplant. Sixteen patients will be enrolled over a 24 month period.
The main aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of a prophylactic immune tolerizing regimen (ITR) to prevent or reduce the development of high titer anti-idursulfase antibodies in treatment-naïve participants with Hunter syndrome. In this open label, single arm study, all participants will receive ELAPRASE treatment and a prophylactic ITR. Participants will be treated with ELAPRASE for up to 104 weeks. The prophylactic ITR will start 1 day prior to the start of ELAPRASE. The prophylactic ITR will consist of a 5-week cycle of: Rituximab (intravenously \[IV\], weekly for 4 weeks); Methotrexate (oral, 3 times per week for 5 weeks) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) (IV, every 4 weeks of the cycle). Following the completion of 1 cycle, an assessment will be made at Month 6, 12, and 18 regarding the need for administering another 5-week cycle of the ITR. Participants will be in the study for approximately 112 weeks (including 6 weeks for screening, up to 104 weeks for treatment, and 2 weeks for follow-up).
This is a Phase 2/3, multiregional, two-arm, double-blind, randomized, active (standard-of-care)-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of tividenofusp alfa (DNL310), an investigational central nervous system (CNS)-penetrant enzyme-replacement therapy (ERT) for mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II). Participants may also qualify to enter an open-label treatment phase with DNL310 or idursulfase based on pre-specified criteria.
The objectives of this study are to characterize MPS VII disease presentation and progression and assess long-term effectiveness and safety, including hypersensitivity reactions and immunogenicity of vestronidase alfa.
The Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) Registry is an ongoing, observational database that tracks the outcomes of patients with MPS I. The data collected by the MPS I Registry will provide information to better characterize the natural history and progression of MPS I as well as the clinical responses of patients receiving enzyme replacement therapy, such as Aldurazyme (Recombinant Human Alpha-L-Iduronidase), or other treatment modalities. The objectives of the Registry are: * To evaluate the long-term effectiveness and safety of Aldurazyme® (laronidase) * To characterize and describe the MPS I population as a whole, including the variability, progression, and natural history of MPS I * To help the MPS I medical community with the development of recommendations for monitoring patients and reports on patient outcomes to optimize patient care
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.
A first-in-human study using ISP-001 in adult patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I Hurler-Scheie and Scheie.
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.
This single-institution, phase II study is designed to test the ability to achieve donor hematopoietic engraftment while maintaining low rates of transplant-related mortality (TRM) using busulfan- and fludarabine-based conditioning regimens with busulfan therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) for patients with various inherited metabolic disorders (IMD) and severe osteopetrosis (OP).
