Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB
Registration Number
NCT03227042
Lead Sponsor
Allievex Corporation
Brief Summary

This is a natural history study for children up to 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB (MPS IIIB, also known as Sanfilippo Syndrome Type B). Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB is a severe neurodegenerative disorder. The information gathered from this trial may help inform the design and interpretation of subsequent interventional studies.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Neurocognitive functionBaseline + every 24 weeks for up to 240 weeks

A neurodevelopmental assessment will be performed using standardized developmental tests to provide quantifiable measures of neurocognitive function.

Sleep habitsBaseline + every 24 weeks for up to 240 weeks

Patient sleep habits will be assessed using Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaires (CSHQ).

Disease-specific BiomarkersBaseline + every 24 weeks for up to 240 weeks

Urine sample for glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and creatinine.

Behavioral functionBaseline + every 24 weeks for up to 240 weeks

Disease-related behaviors will be assessed using an MPS IIIB specific behavior rating scale.

Quality of Life TestsBaseline + every 24 weeks for up to 240 weeks

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.

Biochemical, Molecular, Cellular and Genetic Markers of Disease BurdenOnce (at baseline visit)

Blood and urine samples will be used to evaluate biochemical, molecular cellular, and genetic/genomic aspects of MPS IIIB.
