Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With a Score of at Least 90 on The General Conceptual Ability (GCA) Sub-Scale of The Differential Ability Scale (DAS)1 month

The GCA sub-scale of the DAS, Second Edition (DAS-II) was used to obtain a general measure of cognitive ability.The maximum score is 120, with a higher score indicating greater cognitive ability. A score of 100 is considered an average score.

Number of Participants Who Were Screened For The Follow-On Study With an Investigational Agent1 month

Standardized tests were used to identify patients who were receiving treatment with Elaprase, had cognitive impairment, and were suitable to participate in the follow-on clinical study (HGT-HIT-045). Assessments included: 1-Cognition: The Differential Ability Scale, Second Edition (DAS-II) or the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Third Edition (BSID-III); 2-Adaptive Behavior: The Scale of Independent Behavior-Revised (SIB-R); 3-Executive Function: The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool version (BRIEF-P) for children or the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) for children less than or ≥6 years of age, respectively; 4-Motor: The Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2 (PDMS-2) or the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2) for children less than or ≥6 years of age, respectively.
