35 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
A dose escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacologic properties of Ambroxol in adult participants with Sanfilippo disease(s) (MPS3).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of recombinant human heparan N-sulfatase (rhHNS, GC1130A) administered via intracerebroventricular access device in pediatric patients with Sanfilippo Syndrome Type A (MPS IIIA).
This protocol is a decentralized, single cohort, natural history and biomarker study enrolling up to 20 participants with MPS IIIA (Sanfilippo syndrome). At least 10 participants (\~50%) must be less than four years old at the time of the Parent/LAR consent. The study will have a screening process and 7 study visits, e.g. home visits, that will consist of serum collection and completion of a remote assessment of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales 3rd Edition (Vineland-3) MPS IIIA remains a devastating disease with a high unmet medical need. There is currently a limited number of available data to adequately characterize the progression of the disease. Analysis of blood biospecimens and adaptive behavior in this study will help researchers better understand the clinical progression of MPS IIIA. A better understanding of disease progression may assist in developing novel therapies for rare genetic disorders.
This is a Phase 3B/4, multicenter, multinational, open label study to further evaluate intracerebroventricular (ICV) delivered AX 250 treatment in MPS IIIB subjects that complete Study 250-202 for up to an additional 3 years (144 weeks) of treatment with AX 250 administered by ICV infusion every other week. Subjects will be evaluated for neurocognitive function, communication, adaptive behavior, quality of life, imaging characteristics and biochemical markers of disease burden. Safety will be assessed by adverse events, clinical labs, and physical exams.

Open-label, clinical trial of scAAV9.U1a.hSGSH injected intravenously through a peripheral limb vein
Sanfilippo syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis type III (MPS III), is a disorder of metabolism, associated with insufficient production of a lysosomal enzyme needed for normal cell function. As a consequence of the cellular dysfunction, patients with this disorder develop progressive, irreversible neurodegeneration. Sadly, to date no evidence-based treatments are available. Inflammation has been connected with disease pathogenesis in the MPS disorders. Therapies aimed at decreasing inflammation are currently being studied in many MPS disorders and benefits in both brain and other parts of the body have been reported.Decreasing interleukin-1 (IL-1) in an animal model of MPS III showed benefits in brain disease and behavior. Thus, we think that anakinra (Kineret), which decreases IL-1 levels in the body, will improve behavioral and other problems in children with MPS III. Anakinra is approved by the FDA for treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and neonatal-onset multisystem inflammatory disease (NOMID). It is not approved for any MPS disorder. The design of this study is an open-label, single center, pilot study of 20 participants with MPS III. There will be an initial screening visit, followed by an 8-week observational period, then a 36-week treatment period, and finally another 8-week observational period to determine any effects of withdrawal from the treatment. During visits the participants will undergo a medical history, a physical examination, and anthropometric measurements. Blood, urine, and stool will be collected for biomarker levels and safety laboratory studies. Questionnaires will be completed with questions related to behavior, stooling, sleep, and activities of daily living. Seizure and movement disorders will be monitored as well. The most common risks of receiving anakinra, based on RA and NOMID experience, include local injection site reactions, headache, nausea, vomiting, arthralgia, and flu-like symptoms. The most serious potential risk is a serious infection and neutropenia. However, because so few people with MPS have been treated with anakinra, all the risks related to MPS patients receiving anakinra are not currently known. Additional risks related to taking part in the study include some pain, bruising, and/or bleeding due to blood draws/peripheral IV placement, and discomfort with completing some of the questionnaires. The expected potential direct benefits include, but are not limited to, improved behavior, sleep, stooling, communication, mood, and gait; as well as decreased seizure frequency, disordered movement and fatigue. However, there is no guarantee that participants will get any benefit from being in this study.
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (MPS IIIB, also known as Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B) is a severe neurodegenerative disorder. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the health problems in patients with MPS IIIB and how to measure these problems over time. It will particularly look at how the disease develops in young children. This is an observational study, so no experimental drug will be given. The results from this study will help us design future studies to measure whether these health problems get better when we give experimental drug for MPS IIIB.
Study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intravenous (IV) administration of SBC-103 in participants with mucopolysaccharidosis III, type B (MPS IIIB, Sanfilippo B) with evaluable signs or symptoms of developmental delay.
Hypothesis #1: Factor analysis of the revised Sanfilippo Behavior Rating Scale (SBRS) will identify a group of externalizing behaviors and a group of Klüver-Bucy syndrome-like behaviors as two different factors that are at least partially independent. Hypothesis #2a: Children with MPS III will show more hyperlocomotion, fearlessness, asociality and noncompliance than children of similar cognitive ability with MPS I. Hypothesis #2b: These behaviors will become more frequent and/or intensify over time, consistent with the Cleary and Wraith (1993) model. Quantifying them will provide a more empirical framework for staging disease progression. Hypothesis #3: Brain volumetric analysis and diffusion-tensor imaging will reveal abnormalities of frontal and temporal lobe structures that will correlate with externalizing and Klüver-Bucy syndrome-like behaviors, respectively. Hypothesis #4. Loss of cognitive and language function as measures of neurologic decline will directly precede or co-vary with behavioral decline. The primary objective of this study is to identify the behavioral phenotype and its neural basis in MPS III (Sanfilippo syndrome). Is the behavioral phenotype similar to that of Klüver-Bucy syndrome, and is there evidence for amygdala abnormality? The secondary objective of this research study is to develop easily administered, sensitive and specific neurobehavioral and neuroimaging markers to characterize the behavioral phenotype(s) of MPS III; to track their progression; and to delineate their neural substrates. Such markers are critical for identifying the stage of disease for each patient, and to measure treatment outcome. Although we know that severe cognitive decline is one essential characteristic of MPS III, the other highly salient characteristic is a range of abnormal and disruptive behaviors that can include, but go well beyond, childhood noncompliance and oppositionality. These behaviors set Sanfilippo syndrome apart from the other MPS disorders. They cause major disruption in the child's familial, school, and community environments. Delineating these behavioral abnormalities will help in better understanding the neurological disease.
MPS IIIA, also known as Sanfilippo A, is an inherited lysosomal storage disease (LSD). MPS IIIA is caused by a deficiency in sulfamidase, one of the enzymes involved in the lysosomal degradation of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) heparan sulfate (HS). The natural course of MPS IIIA is characterized by devastating neurodegeneration with initially mild somatic involvement. The aim of the present study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of long-term SOBI003 treatment. SOBI003 is a chemically modified recombinant human (rh) Sulfamidase developed as an enzyme replacement therapy (ERT).
MPS IIIA is predominantly a central nervous system disease causing cognitive disability, progressive loss of acquired skills, behavioral and sleep disturbance. LYS-SAF302 is a gene therapy which is intended to deliver a functional copy of the SGSH gene to the brain. This is a phase 2-3 study to assess the efficacy in improving or stabilizing the neurodevelopmental state of MPS IIIA patients.

Open-label, dose-escalation clinical trial of rAAV9.CMV.hNAGLU injected intravenously through a peripheral limb vein
This is a natural history study for children up to 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB (MPS IIIB, also known as Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B). Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB is a severe neurodegenerative disorder. The information gathered from this trial may help inform the design and interpretation of subsequent interventional studies. No clinical intervention or study drug is provided by Allievex in this study.
Sanfilippo syndrome Type A, or Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IIIA, is a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by deficiency of the enzyme heparan N-sulfatase (sulfamidase). In the absence of this enzyme, there is an accumulation of the glycosaminoglycan, heparan sulfate, resulting in progressive neurodegeneration. Symptoms are usually first noted in the 1st or 2nd year of life, although definitive diagnosis is often delayed, with an average age of diagnosis of 4.5 years. The disease is characterized by developmental delays initially, followed by neurological developmental arrest, then regression. These developmental deficits are typically associated with severe behavioral disturbances. Patients have a significantly reduced lifespan, with few surviving beyond the 2nd or 3rd decade. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of recombinant human heparan-N-sulfatase (rhHNS) in pediatric patients with Early Stage Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III A Disease.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the natural course of disease progression in Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III (MPS IIIB) patients who are untreated to identify potential surrogate endpoints that may be utilized in future treatment trials of MPS IIIB using predefined assessments including standardized clinical, biochemical, neurocognitive, developmental, and imaging measures.

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of AX 250 administered to subjects with MPS IIIB by an implanted ICV reservoir and catheter and to evaluate the impact of long-term AX 250 treatment on cognitive function in patients with MPS IIIB as assessed by developmental quotient (DQ).
The purpose of this study is to understand the course of rare genetic disorders that affect the brain. This data is being analyzed to gain a better understanding of the progression of the rare neurodegenerative disorders and the effects of interventions.
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.
The goal of this research study is to establish chimerism and avoid graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) in patients with inherited metabolic disorders.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety/tolerability and efficacy of UX111 (previously known as ABO-102) in participants with Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA (MPS IIIA).
This study is planned to document, through retrospective and prospective data collection, syndrome progression in children and young adults with MPS IIIC.
Eligible research subjects will receive an unrelated umbilical cord blood transfusion as a possible cure for their inherited metabolic disease. A portion of cord blood cells (ALD-101) will be separated from the cord blood unit and given approximately 4 hours after the standard cord blood transfusion. The study will test if the supplemental cells will increase the speed at which normal levels of circulating blood cells are re-established after transplant.
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has proven effective therapy for individuals with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) or globoid cell leukodystrophy (GLD, or Krabbe disease). This protocol also considers other inherited metabolic diseases such as, but not limited to, GM1 gangliosidosis, Tay Sachs disease, Sanfilippo syndrome or Sandhoff disease, I-cell disease (mucolipidosis II). For patients with advanced or rapidly progressive disease, the morbidity and mortality with transplantation is unacceptably high. Unfortunately, there are no viable alternative therapeutic options for these patients; if transplantation is not performed the patients are sent home to die. Our group at Minnesota has developed a new protocol incorporating transplantation using a reduced intensity conditioning regimen designed to decrease toxicity associated with the transplant procedure. This regimen will make use of the drug clofarabine, which has lympholytic and immune suppressive properties without the neurologic toxicity observed in the related compound, fludarabine, commonly used for transplantation. In addition, several agents providing anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties will be used to assist in the stabilization of the disease processes. This revised transplant protocol will test the following: 1) the ability to achieve engraftment with the reduced intensity protocol, 2) the mortality associated with transplant by day 100, 3) patient outcomes, based on differential neurologic, neuropsychologic, imaging and biologic evaluations prior to transplantation and at designated points after transplantation (day 100, 6 months, 1, 2 and 5 years). Additional biologic studies will include pharmacokinetics of clofarabine and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF). In addition, for patients undergoing lumbar puncture studies, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) will be requested for determinations of biologic parameters.
