- Ages 1 year to 10 years
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Child
Study population: Study Population: Subjects diagnosed with MPS IIIB Males and females 1 through 10 years of age (ie, until they turn 11) with a documented diagnosis of MPS IIIB are eligible to participate in this observational study. Up to approximately 5 subjects 6 to 10 years old, inclusive, will be enrolled; the remaining subjects will be 1 to 5 years old, inclusive. Additional entry criteria follow.

- DQ ≥ 50 (determined by BSID-III or KABC-II)
- Has presented with signs/symptoms consistent with MPS IIIB; for individuals who have not presented with signs/symptoms of disease (e.g., siblings of known patients), the determination of eligibility will be at the discretion of the BioMarin medical monitor in conjunction with the site investigator.
- Written informed consent from parent or legal guardian and assent from subject, if required
- Has the ability to comply with protocol requirements, in the opinion of the investigator
Who cannot join

- Requires ventilation support, except for noninvasive support at night
- Has received stem cell, gene therapy or ERT for MPS IIIB
- Has contraindications for neurosurgery (e.g., congenital heart disease, severe respiratory impairment, or clotting abnormalities)

About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Observational Study of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB (MPS IIIB)
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.
Read the detailed description
This is a multicenter, multinational, longitudinal, observational study in subjects 1 through 10 years of age who have been diagnosed with MPS IIIB. Data will be prospectively collected from 20 to 30 subjects to understand the clinical progression of MPS IIIB in terms of neurocognitive function, behavior, quality of life, imaging characteristics, genotype, and biochemical markers of disease burden. This information may help inform the design and interpretation of subsequent interventional studies.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Neurocognitive function
A neurodevelopmental assessment will be performed using standardized developmental tests to provide quantifiable measures of neurocognitive function.
Measured: Screening, baseline, and every 12 weeks, for up to 48-96 weeks
Imaging characteristics
MRI will be used to assess changes in size of various organs affected by the disease, including brain, liver and spleen.
Measured: Baseline and every 24 weeks, for up to 48-96 weeks
Behavioral function
Disease-related behaviors will be assessed using an MPS III-specific behavior rating scale.
Measured: Baseline and every 12 weeks, for up to 48-96 weeks
Hearing
The function of conductive and sensorineural hearing pathways will be assessed using tympanometry and auditory brainstem response (ABR).
Measured: Baseline and every 24 weeks, for up to 48-96 weeks
Sleep habits
Patient sleep habits will be assessed using specific questionnaires.
Measured: Baseline and every 24 weeks, for up to 48-96 weeks
Quality-of-life
Multiple QOL tools will be used to capture physical, mental, and social well-being of the patient as well as to examine the impact of the patient's disease on the parent/guardian and family.
Measured: Baseline and every 24 weeks, for up to 48-96 weeks
Biochemical, Molecular, Cellular and Genetic Markers of Disease Burden
Blood, urine, and CSF samples will be used to evaluate biochemical, molecular cellular, and genetic/genomic aspects of MPS IIIB.
Measured: Baseline and every 24 weeks, for up to 48-96 weeks

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 7 inclusion and 9 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Mar 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 8 sites in United States, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Spain and 3 more countries. 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.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Neurocognitive function (time frame: Screening, baseline, and every 12 weeks, for up to 48-96 weeks). The study lists 7 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02493998, 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 6 Mar 2020.
