8 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
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.
The Expanded Access Program (EAP) is an open-label, multicenter program to: 1. Provide patients who have been diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (MPS IVA) access to BMN 110 until commercial product is available 2. Collect additional information on the safety and tolerability of BMN 110 administration in patients with MPS IVA Patients enrolled in the EAP will receive 2.0 mg/kg intravenous infusions of BMN 110 every week during the program.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of 2.0 mg/kg/week BMN 110 in a patient population that has limited ambulation, in a period of up to 144 weeks.
The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the safety of a 2.0 mg/kg/week and a 4.0 mg/kg/week of BMN 110 in patients with Morquio A syndrome for up to 196 weeks. Secondary objectives were to investigate the effect of the two doses on exercise capacity for up to 196 weeks. In addition, the pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters of both doses of BMN 110 was assessed.
This open-label Phase 2 study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of weekly 2.0 mg/kg/wk infusions of BMN 110 in pediatric patients, less than 5 years of age at the time of administration of the first dose of study drug, diagnosed with MPS IVA (Morquio A Syndrome) for up to 208 weeks.
This Phase 3 extension study will evaluate the long-term efficacy and safety of BMN 110 2.0 mg/kg/week and/or BMN 110 2.0 mg/kg/every other week in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (Morquio A Syndrome).
This Phase 3 study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of 2.0 mg/kg/week BMN 110 and 2.0 mg/kg/every other week BMN 110 in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (Morquio A Syndrome). There is currently no standard accepted treatment for MPS IVA other than supportive care. Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) may be a potential new treatment option for MPS IVA patients. BMN 110 is administered to MPS IVA patients by IV infusion, allowing cellular uptake by the mannose-6-phosphate receptor and transportation to the lysosomes. This enzyme uptake into the lysosomes is hypothesized to promote increased catabolism of keratan sulfate (KS) in tissue macrophages, hyaline cartilage, other connective tissues, and heart valve, and reduce the progressive accumulation of KS which is responsible for the clinical manifestations of the disorders.
This multicenter, multinational, longitudinal study will quantify endurance and respiratory function in subjects diagnosed with MPS IVA and will better characterize the spectrum of symptoms and biochemical abnormalities in MPS IVA disease over time.
