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 3 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: * Adult and paediatric participants with MPS and corneal opacification will be potentially eligible for this study, including those untreated, treated with previous haematopetic stem cell transplant, and treated with ERT. * Participants who have a confirmed diagnosis of mucopolysaccharosisis type I (Hurler, Hurler/Scheie and Scheie), MPS type II (Hunter), type III (Sanfilippo) type IV (Morquio) and type VI (MaroteauxLamy), type VII (Sly) will be eligible if able to hold relatively still while seated at an instrument with a head rest.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult and paediatric participants with MPS and corneal opacification will be potentially eligible for this study, including those untreated, treated with previous haematopetic stem cell transplant, and treated with ERT.
  • Participants who have a confirmed diagnosis of mucopolysaccharosisis type I (Hurler, Hurler/Scheie and Scheie), MPS type II (Hunter), type III (Sanfilippo) type IV (Morquio) and type VI (MaroteauxLamy), type VII (Sly) will be potentially eligible. In order to cooperate with the examinations, the participant needs to be able to hold relatively still while seated at an instrument with a head rest and hold fixation for several seconds for this reason participants over the age of 3 years will be eligible.

Who cannot join

  • Those who are aged under 3 years or who have significant neurological involvement which would influence understanding and/or cooperation.

About this study

Official title: Use of New Imaging Technology to Assess Effect of Enzyme Replacment Therapy on Eye Disease Progession in Mucopolysacchardiosis

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are currently treated with Enzyme replacement therapy and Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT). No current evidence on the effectiveness on these therapies on the eye in this systemic disease is avalible. Using new imaging techniques; previously subjective data can be quantified and compared to determine if there is an improvment in the vision of patients with MPS.

Read the detailed description

The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are a group of hereditary disorders which arise from defects in enzymes which break down glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) which occur in a wide variety of tissues, resulting in multiple systemic complications. Sight loss occurs in MPS due to corneal clouding, retinal degeneration, glaucoma and damage to the optic nerve. Corneal opacification occurs in infancy in several MPS subtypes and in the untreated disease the opacification is thought to be progressive, contributing to significant visual impairment in many patients. Improvements in quality of life and lifespan as a result of early treatment (with enzyme replacement therapy and haematopoetic stem cell transplantation) have meant that management of ocular complications and preservation of vision has increased importance.

A repeatable, reliable technique for quantification of corneal clouding will allow objective demonstration of the effect of treatments such as ERT in stabilisation or improvement of corneal clouding, and to establish the natural history of corneal opacification in MPS.

The investigators have previously developed the Iris camera (Irisguard Corp, McLean, VA 22102, USA) technology to give an objective measure of corneal clouding (Irisguard model IGAD100 ®) (Aslam et al 2009). The investigators demonstrated that use of the iris camera for corneal opacification assessment in MPS is feasibile, practical and has shown evidence for validity and reliability (Aslam et al 2012) (research funded in part by Biomarin Europe Ltd). The densitometry program for the Pentacam® Scheimpflug camera has also been shown to be able to provide measurements of corneal clouding in MPS .This research proposal will allow us to use to these techniques to quantify corneal clouding over time in MPS patients and to assess the effects of treatment with ERT and HSCT on corneal opacification.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mucopolysaccharidoses, run by Manchester Royal Eye Hospital at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Nov 2017. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Jane Ashworth, MBChB (Jane.Ashworth@cmft.nhs.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Corneal densitometry scores in participants on treatment (time frame: 60 months study period). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 28 Nov 2017.
