About this study

Official title: A Single Center, Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Uncontrolled, Multiple-Dose, Dose Escalation Study of the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Efficacy and Long Term Safety of HGT-1111 (Recombinant Human Arylsulfatase A [rhASA, Metazym]) for the Treatment of Patients With Late Infantile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD)

This is a single center, open-label study of patients with late infantile MLD. All patients were previous treated 26 weeks in the phase I trial (EudraCT number: 2006-005341-11, NCT00418561). All patients will be offered continuing treatment in this study and will in this protocol receive 13 infusions, whereby the patients total have had 27 infusions of Metazym. One infusion will be given every other week. After a total of 52 weeks of treatment the subjects will continue treatment in a compassionate use protocol. Safety (AE/SAE) will be monitored at every visit.

What is being measured

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

  1. Relative Changes (%) in Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM)

    Change (percent change) in GMFM is measured from baseline to end of study (Week 52). GMFM is measured using GMFM-88. The GMFM-88 item scores can be summed to calculate a total GMFM-88 score. For each GMFM-88 item, the score is between 0 (minimal) to 3 (maximum). The total GMFM-88 score is between 0 (minimal) to 264 (maximum). Relative changes in GMFM are calculated as percentage change from baseline divided by the age difference in months between first and last visit. The GMFM score decreases over time, which, indicates that the disease worsened over time. Score over time (SOT), data mentioned over mean represents the adjusted mean.

    Measured: Baseline, 52 Weeks

  2. Relative Change in Mullen's Scales of Early Learning

    Changes in Mullen's Scales of Early Learning are measured from baseline to end of study (Week 52) using Mullen's Scales of Early Learning. T scores, percentile ranks, and age equivalents can be computed for the four scales separately (visual reception, fine motor, expressive language, and receptive language). Relative change is calculated as percentage change from baseline divided by the age-difference in months between first and last visit. When Mullen's score decreases over time, it indicates the disease worsened over time. Data mentioned over mean represents the adjusted mean.

    Measured: Baseline, 52 Weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Sulfatide

    Changes in CSF sulfatide from baseline to end of study (Week 52). Data mentioned over mean represents the adjusted mean.

    Measured: Baseline, 52 Weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Recombinant human Arylsulfatase A (rhASA) in people with Late Infantile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy, run by Shire at 1 site in Denmark.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 14 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 1 site in Denmark. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 15 Jun 2012). 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?

Relative Changes (%) in Gross Motor Function Measurement (GMFM) (time frame: Baseline, 52 Weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT00633139, 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 14 Jun 2021.
