Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Up to 70 years
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study population will consist of pediatric (<18 years of age) and adult (≥18 years of age) male patients with Hunter syndrome. Up to approximately 60 patients (approximately 30 adults and 30 children) may be enrolled in this study.

Who may be able to join

  • The patient is male and has a documented diagnosis of Hunter syndrome (MPSII).
  • The adult patient has completed a cognitive assessment at screening/baseline or within the previous 3 months and has been determined to have an intelligence quotient (IQ) ≥78. Note: cognitive evaluation of pediatric patients is not required.
  • The adult patient or the adult patient's legally authorized representative(s) has voluntarily signed an Institutional Review Board/Independent Ethics Committee-approved informed consent form after all relevant aspects of the study have been explained and discussed.
  • The pediatric patient must be scheduled to undergo a non-study related lumbar puncture or other medical or diagnostic procedure that requires the administration of general anesthesia. The pediatric patient's parent(s) or legally authorized representative(s) must have provided written informed consent (with patient assent as relevant), after all relevant aspects of the study have been explained and discussed, to allow CSF sample collection for this study in conjunction with performance of the non-study related procedure requiring general anesthesia.

Who cannot join

  • The patient has a history of complications from a previous lumbar puncture(s) or technical challenges in conducting lumbar puncture.
  • The patient has received a hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
  • The patient has taken aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or other over-the-counter or prescription medications that could affect blood clot formation within the 7 days prior to lumbar puncture, or has ingested such medications within 7 days prior to any study-related procedure in which a change in potential blood clot formation would be deleterious.
  • The patient is currently receiving treatment with intrathecal idursulfase-IT.
  • The patient is currently enrolled in an interventional clinical trial.
  • The patient has participated in a clinical trial of any investigational drug, including idursulfase-IT, or device within the 30 days prior to study entry.

About this study

Official title: A Cerebrospinal Fluid Collection Study in Pediatric and Adult Patients With Hunter Syndrome

The purpose of the study is to collect data on CSF biomarkers in patients with Hunter Syndrome that would serve as reference data for comparison with cognitively impaired patients with Hunter syndrome, patients with other lysosomal storage diseases, or other diseases with CNS involvement.

Read the detailed description

To determine levels of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), including dermatan sulfate (DS) and heparan sulfate (HS), GAG-degradation products, and other biomarkers of central nervous system (CNS) and lysosomal function in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in pediatric and adult patients with Hunter syndrome.

What is being measured

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

  1. Levels of Total Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in CSF

    The concentration of total GAG, including heparan sulfate (HS) and dermatan sulfate (DS) oligosaccharides, in CSF was measured using an enzymatic assay.

    Measured: Day 1

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Levels of GAG in Urine

    The levels of GAG (including sulfated DS/HS oligosaccharides) in urine were determined by the Blyscan sulfated GAG assay kit. The concentration of GAG in urine was normalized to the urine creatinine value and reported as mg GAG/mmol creatinine.

    Measured: Day 1

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?

Levels of Total Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) in CSF (time frame: Day 1). 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 NCT01449240, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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?
