About this study

Official title: A Multi-center, Open-Label Extension Study of HGT-1111 (Recombinant Human Arylsulfatase A or rhASA) Treatment in Patients With Late Infantile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD)

This is a multi-center, open-label, extension study of patients with late infantile MLD who have previously completed clinical study HGT-MLD-048 (NCT00633139), defined as the completion of all Week 52 procedures. This group of patients will be offered ongoing treatment with HGT-1111 in this protocol. One infusion will be given every other week until the product is commercially available, the patient discontinues, or the study is terminated by the Sponsor, provided no safety issues have emerged.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study is to provide ongoing treatment of HGT-1111 to patients who have completed study HGT-MLD-048 (previously study rhASA-03 - NCT00633139) until HGT-1111 is commercially available or the study is terminated by the Sponsor, provided no safety concerns have emerged. The secondary objective of this study is to monitor disease progression and the safety profile of HGT-1111 administered to patients who have completed study HGT-MLD-048 (NCT00633139).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • HGT-1111Drug

    Also called rhASA, Metazym

    Patients currently dosed with 100 U/kg or 200 U/kg will continue this treatment. Patients dosed with 50 U/kg will be equally randomized to treatment on 100 U/kg or 200 U/kg. The dose will be adjusted every 6-week to account for changes in body weight.The infusion length will be dependent on the dose. Infusion of 100 U/kg will be diluted in 50 ml isotonic sodium chloride and infused over 30 minutes. Infusion of 200 U/kg will be administered in the same manner except for an infusion time of 60 minutes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Days of Exposure to HGT-1111

    End of study was defined as until HGT-1111 was commercially available, the participant's participation was discontinued, or the study was terminated by the Sponsor.

    Measured: Baseline until end of study (Week 139)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Level of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Sulfatide

    Level of CSF sulfatide measured at 6-month intervals in HGT-MLD-049 (NCT00681811).

    Measured: Baseline until end of study (Week 139)

  2. Level of White Matter Metabolites

    Level of white matter metabolites [N-acetyl Aspartate (NAA)] measured at 6-month intervals in HGT-MLD-049 (NCT00681811).

    Measured: Baseline until end of study (Week 139)

  3. Score of Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM)

    Gross motor function was measured using GMFM-88 at 6-month intervals. The GMFM-88 item scores were summed to calculate a total GMFM-88 score. For each GMFM-88 item, the score was between 0 (minimal) to 3 (maximum). The total GMFM-88 score was between 0 (minimal) to 264 (maximum). Decrease in GMFM score indicates disease progression.

    Measured: Baseline until end of study (Week 139)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing HGT-1111 in people with Late Infantile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy, run by Shire at 1 site in Denmark.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 8 Nov 2013). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Days of Exposure to HGT-1111 (time frame: Baseline until end of study (Week 139)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00681811, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jun 2021.
