A Retrospective Study of the Natural History of Patients With Severe Perinatal and Infantile Hypophosphatasia (HPP)

Completed
Conditions
Hypophosphatasia (HPP)
Registration Number
NCT01419028
Lead Sponsor
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Brief Summary

This study aims to characterize the natural history of patients with severe perinatal or infantile onset HPP.

Detailed Description

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a life-threatening, genetic, and ultra-rare metabolic disease characterized by defective bone mineralization and impaired phosphate and calcium regulation that can lead to progressive damage to multiple vital organs, including destruction and deformity of bones, profound muscle weakness, seizures, impaired renal function, and respiratory failure. There are no approved disease-modifying treatments for patients with this disease. There is also limited data available on the natural course of this disease over time, particularly in patients with the juvenile-onset form.

  • Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) below the age-adjusted normal range and either plasma pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP) or urinary phosphoethanolamine (PEA) above the upper limit of normal
  • Serum ALP below the age-adjusted normal range and HPP-related radiographic abnormalities on X-ray
  • Patient must have onset of signs of HPP prior to 6 months of age and have documentation of 1 or more of the following characteristics of perinatal and infantile HPP:
  • Respiratory compromise (up to and including respiratory failure) requiring institution of respiratory support measure(s), requiring medication(s) for management of symptom(s), and/or associated with other respiratory complications (e.g., pneumonia(s), respiratory tract infection(s))
  • Pyridoxine (vitamin B6)-responsive seizures
  • Rachitic chest deformity
Exclusion Criteria

Patients will be excluded from study participation if they have 1 or more of the following exclusion criteria:

  • Patient received treatment with asfotase alfa at any time prior to data abstraction
  • Patient has clinically significant other disease

Both living and deceased patients will be considered for study participation

Study & Design

Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Study Design
Not specified
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
SurvivalRetrospective data collected on or before the data of abstraction.

Overall survival is defined as the time from birth to time of death.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Invasive Ventilator-free Survival TimeRetrospective data collected on or before the date of abstraction.

Invasive ventilator-free survival is defined as the time during which the patient is alive and not invasively ventilated. For the purpose of this study, invasive ventilation is defined as mechanical ventilation via intubation of trachaeostomy.
