What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Change From Baseline in 12-minute Walk Test at 24 Weeks

    Number of meters walked in 12 minutes at week 24 minus number of meters walked in 12 minutes at baseline

    Measured: baseline and 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Change From Baseline in 3-minute Stair Climb at 24 Weeks

    Number of stairs climbed per minute in 3 minutes at 24 weeks minus number of stairs climbed per minute in 3 minutes at baseline

    Measured: baseline and 24 weeks

  2. Change From Baseline in Urinary GAG (uGAG) at 24 Weeks

    Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) level measured in urine

    Measured: baseline and 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase in people with Mucopolysaccharidosis VI, run by BioMarin Pharmaceutical at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Aug 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change From Baseline in 12-minute Walk Test at 24 Weeks (time frame: baseline and 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00067470, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Dec 2009.
