Immune Tolerance Study With Aldurazyme® (Laronidase)

Phase 1

Completed

Conditions: Mucopolysaccharidosis I

Interventions: Biological: Laronidase
Drug: Cyclosporine A (CsA)
Drug: Azathioprine (Aza)

Registration Number: NCT00741338

Lead Sponsor: Genzyme, a Sanofi Company

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to see if treatment with an antigen-specific immunosuppressive can decrease or stop an antibody response to laronidase (Aldurazyme®) during enzyme replacement therapy with laronidase in severe Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) participants.

Detailed Description: Not available

Recruitment & Eligibility

Status: COMPLETED

Sex: All

Target Recruitment: 7

Inclusion Criteria

Written informed consent is required from the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) prior to any protocol-related procedures being performed. (A separate informed consent will be requested from the parent(s) for their genotyping, which is independent of the inclusion)
Participant's parent(s) or legal guardian(s) allow their child's participation and are willing and able to comply with trial procedures
The participant must be up to and including 5 years of age at the time of enrollment
Clinical diagnosis of the severe (Hurler) phenotype of MPS I
Confirmed presence of 2 nonsense mutations in the alfa-L-iduronidase (IDUA) gene (that is, compound heterozygosity or homozygosity). For the purpose of enrollment, genotyping may be performed by a local laboratory. If no genotyping is performed by a local laboratory, a sample is collected for analysis by a central laboratory before enrollment
Documented IDUA deficiency with fibroblast, plasma, serum, leukocyte or dried blood spot IDUA enzyme activity assay

Exclusion Criteria

The participant has a clinically significant organ disease including: cardiovascular, hepatic, pulmonary, neurologic, or renal disease, other serious intercurrent illness or extenuating circumstances that, in the opinion of the investigator, precludes participation in the trial or potentially decrease survival
The participant has previously received treatment with laronidase
The participant has known severe hypersensitivity to any excipients of the delivery solution for laronidase or to any of the other investigational drugs used in the study
The participant has undergone a haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), regardless of outcome, or is currently under consideration for such a transplant. If a family later decides to obtain HSCT, the participant will be discontinued from the trial
The participant has received an investigational product within the 30 days prior to enrollment
The participant has prior treatment in any experimental protocol (for example, fibroblast injections) that might potentially induce antibodies to laronidase or might affect the interpretation of the participant's antibody response to laronidase
The participant has received vaccination(s) within 1 month prior to enrollment, or is unwilling to postpone vaccinations during the Tolerance Induction Period in the trial
The participant is homozygous for thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) deficiency, as determined by the genotype (the presence of 2 known null alleles for TPMT) or phenotype (near to complete absence of TPMT enzyme activity)
The participant has a prior history of tuberculosis or a positive test for latent tuberculosis infection

Group	Intervention	Description
Cohort 2	Azathioprine (Aza)	TIP: CsA starting at 6.7 mg/kg orally three times daily until the target trough concentration of at least 350 ng/mL (preferably 400 ng/mL) achieved along with Aza 5 mg/kg orally every other day. Once target CsA trough level achieved and maintained for at least 1 week, participants received laronidase 0.058 mg/kg (low-dose) once weekly IV infusion (starting from Day 1) up to Week 18. CsA and Aza were gradually discontinued. ICP: following TIP, laronidase dose increased to 0.12 mg/kg once weekly IV infusion for 1 week followed by 0.25 mg/kg once weekly IV infusion for 1 week and then 0.58 mg/kg (full-dose) once weekly IV infusion up to Week 45.
Cohort 1	Azathioprine (Aza)	Tolerance Induction Period (TIP): Cyclosporine A (CsA) starting at 5 milligram per kilogram (mg/kg) orally three times daily until the target trough concentration of at least 350 nanogram per milliliter (ng/mL) (preferably 400 ng/mL) achieved along with azathioprine (Aza) 2.5 mg/kg/day orally. Once target CsA trough level achieved and maintained for at least 1 week, participants received laronidase 0.058 mg/kg (low-dose) once weekly intravenous (IV) infusion (starting from Day 1) up to Week 12. CsA and Aza were gradually discontinued. Immune Challenge Period (ICP): following TIP, laronidase dose increased to 0.12 mg/kg once weekly IV infusion for 1 week followed by 0.25 mg/kg once weekly IV infusion for 1 week and then 0.58 mg/kg (full-dose) once weekly IV infusion up to Week 39.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of Participants Who Achieved Immune Tolerance Induction	24 weeks after start of full-dose laronidase therapy	Immune tolerance induction success was defined as development of an anti-laronidase immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titer less than or equal to (\<=) 1:3200 after 24 weeks of receiving full-dose (0.58 mg/kg) laronidase therapy.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percent Reduction of Urinary Glycosaminoglycan (uGAG) Level From Baseline to the End of Treatment/Early Withdrawal	Baseline, end of treatment/early withdrawal (up to 24 weeks after start of full-dose laronidase therapy)	Urinary Glycosaminoglycan (uGAG) Levels: concentration of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) relative to creatinine in urine. A greater decrease in uGAG level indicates a greater response.
