- Brief Summary
Sanfilippo syndrome, or Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) III, is a rare lysosomal storage disease (LSD) caused by loss in activity of 1 of 4 enzymes necessary for degradation of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) heparan sulfate (HS) in lysosomes. MPS IIIA results from deficiency of the enzyme heparan N-sulfatase (sulfamidase). MPS IIIA symptoms arise on average at 7 months of age, with the average age of diagnosis at 4.5 years for the majority of patients. The central nervous system (CNS) is the most severely affected organ system in patients with MPS IIIA, evidenced by deficits in language development, motor skills, and intellectual development. In addition, there are abnormal behaviors including but not limited to aggression and excess motor activity/hyperactivity that contribute to disturbances in sleep.Overall, individuals with MPS IIIA have a marked developmental delay and significantly reduced lifespan of 15 years of age on average.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of rhHNS via ascending doses administered via an a surgically implanted intrathecal drug delivery device (IDDD) intrathecal (IT) route once monthly (or every two weeks) for 6 months in patients with MPS IIIA.
- Detailed Description
No effective, disease-modifying therapies are currently approved as treatments for this devastating and disabling disease.
Shire Human Genetic Therapies (Shire HGT) is developing a sulfamidase enzyme replacement therapy (ERT)rhHNS for patients with MPS IIIA. recombinant human heparan-N-sulfatase (rhHNS) is being administered into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) via an surgically implanted intrathecal drug delivery device (IDDD), because when administered intravenously (IV) it does not cross the blood brain barrier (BBB).
This study is a multicenter, multiple-dose, dose escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of up to 3 dose levels (10mg,45mg and 90mg monthly for 6 months) of rhHNS administered via an IDDD in patients with Sanfilippo syndrome Type A ages greater than or equal to 3 years of age.
Patients who have completed all study requirements in this study will be invited to participate in an open-label extension study that will be designed to evaluate long term safety and clinical outcomes of intrathecal administration of rhHNS.

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change From Baseline in Developmental Quotient (DQ) Using Bayley Scales of Infant Development Third Edition (BSID III) and Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition (KABC II) at Week 22 Baseline, Week 22 BSID-III was used to assess the motor (fine and gross), language (receptive and expressive), and cognitive development of infants and toddlers. This measure consists of a series of developmental play tasks. Raw scores of successfully completed items are converted to scale scores and to composite scores. The mean composite score is 100 and the standard deviation (SD) is 15.Higher scores are indicative of decreased development. KABC-II was an individually administered measure of the processing and reasoning abilities of children and adolescents between the ages of 3 and 18 years and is an alternative to BSID-III. BSID-III DQ score was based on the Cognitive domain. The DQ score was calculated from the data obtained from either BSID-III/KABC-II mental age equivalent of the child in months divided by the calendar age in months (multiplied by 100 to give percentage points).
Change From Baseline in Four Point Scoring System/Total Disability Score (FPSS/TDS) at Week 22 and Week 26 (EOS) Baseline, Week 22, Week 26 FPSS is a sanfilippo-specific disability assessment which assesses motor function, expressive/speech language, and cognitive function on a 0 to 3 point scale. A score of 3 points is assigned for normal function, 2 points for beginning of regression, 1 point for severe level of regression, and 0 points for lost skills. The total disability score (TDS) is the average (0-3) of the motor skills (MS), speech abilities (SA), and cognitive function (CF) scores. Lower scores indicate developmental regression.

The ITQOL consists of 97 items that are scored, summed, and transformed on a scale from 0 (worst health) to 100 (best health). The score range for all individual subscales is 0 (worst health) to 100 (best health). Abbreviation: Overall Health (OH), Physical Abilities (PA), Growth And Development (GAD), Bodily Pain (BP), Temperament And Moods (TAM), General Behavior (GEB), Global Behavior (GLB), Getting Along (GA), General Health Perceptions (GHP), PI-Emotion (PIE), PI-Time (PIT), Family Cohesion (FC).

Change From Baseline in Developmental Quotient (DQ) Using Vineland Adaptive Behavioral Scales Second Edition (VABS-II) at Week 22 Baseline, Week 22 VABS-II measures adaptive behaviors, including the ability to cope with environmental changes, to learn new everyday skills, and to demonstrate independence. It is an instrument that supports the diagnosis of intellectual and developmental disabilities in participants. This test measures 5 key domains: communication, daily living skills, socialization, motor skills, and the adaptive behavior composite (a composite of the other four domains). Scoring is 'Usually' = 2, 'Sometimes'/Partially' = 1 or 'Never' = 0. The raw scores will be converted to domain standard scores (mean 100, SD 15). Higher scores indicate undesirable behavior. The Overall DQ score was calculated from the mean age-equivalent score obtained by averaging out the age equivalent scores for all the sub-domains except for Gross and Fine motor skills.
