About this study

Official title: A Multi-Center, Open-Label Study Evaluating Safety and Clinical Outcomes in Hunter Syndrome Patients 5 Years of Age and Younger Receiving Idursulfase Enzyme Replacement Therapy

The objective of this study is to determine the safety of once weekly dosing of idursulfase 0.5 mg/kg administered by intravenous (IV) infusion for male Hunter syndrome patients ≤ 5 years old.

Read the detailed description

This study will provide a basis for evaluating the safety of idursulfase administered to Hunter syndrome patients who are ≤ 5 years old. Additionally, this study will provide a basis for evaluating the idursulfase single- and repeated-dose pharmacokinetic profiles as well as the pharmacodynamic effect (as measured by urinary GAG excretion) in this pediatric population. Additional exploratory measures will include abdominal ultrasound measurements of liver and spleen volumes, assessments of growth with comparisons to normal population growth data, assessments of annualized growth velocity, assessments of routine developmental milestones using the Denver II, and assessments of clinical events, including the first occurrence of certain hearing-related events (e.g., hearing loss, otitis media), respiratory-related events (e.g., upper and lower respiratory infections), and specific surgical procedures (e.g., adenoidectomy, placement of PE tubes).

All patients in this open-label study will receive once-weekly infusions of idursulfase at a dose of 0.5 mg/kg.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety Evaluation

    An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered as a pharmaceutical product that did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. A serious adverse event (SAE) was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Number of participants with AEs occurred after start of study treatment until 30 days after the last infusion of idursulfase, were reported.

    Measured: From the start of study treatment until 30 days after the last infusion of idursulfase, up to 53 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Mean Change From Baseline to Week 53 in Normalized Urinary Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Levels

    Analysis of urinary GAG levels was performed at baseline, Week 18, Week 36, and Week 53 as an assessment of the pharmacodynamic effects of Elaprase (idursulfase).

    Measured: Baseline, Weeks 18, 36 and 53

  2. Single- and Repeat-Dose Pharmacokinetics - Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Cmax)

    Measured: Weeks 1 and 27

  3. Single- and Repeat-Dose Pharmacokinetics - Time of Maximum Observed Serum Concentration (Tmax)

    Measured: Weeks 1 and 27

  4. Single- and Repeat-Dose Pharmacokinetics - Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to the Final Time Point With a Concentration of at Least Lower Limit of Quantitation (AUClast)

    Measured: Weeks 1 and 27

  5. Single- and Repeat-Dose Pharmacokinetics - Area Under the Serum Concentration-Time Curve From Time 0 to Infinity (AUCinf)

    Measured: Weeks 1 and 27

  6. Single- and Repeat-Dose Pharmacokinetics - Elimination Half-Life (t1/2)

    t1/2 refers to the elimination of the drug. It is the time taken for the blood plasma concentration to reach half the concentration in the terminal phase of elimination. It is expressed in minutes and derived from the terminal slope of the concentration versus time curve.

    Measured: Weeks 1 and 27

  7. Single- and Repeat-Dose Pharmacokinetics - Mean Residence Time From Time 0 to Infinity (MRTinf)

    MRTinf is an average duration of the drug in the body from time zero to infinity, and is expressed in minutes.

    Measured: Weeks 1 and 27

  8. Single- and Repeat-Dose Pharmacokinetics - Clearance (CL)

    Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes.

    Measured: Weeks 1 and 27

  9. Single- and Repeat-Dose Pharmacokinetics - Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss)

    Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug. Vss is the apparent volume of distribution at steadystate.

    Measured: Weeks 1 and 27

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Idursulfase in people with Hunter Syndrome and Mucopolysaccharidosis II, run by Shire at 3 sites in 3 countries.

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 7 inclusion and 5 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 8 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Brazil, Poland, Taiwan. 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. 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 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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 7 Nov 2013). 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?

Safety Evaluation (time frame: From the start of study treatment until 30 days after the last infusion of idursulfase, up to 53 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 NCT00607386, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 8 Jun 2021.
