About this study

Official title: Pilot Study of the Effect of Adalimumab on Physical Function and Musculoskeletal Disease in Mucopolysaccharidosis Types I, II and VI

The purpose of the study is to collect preliminary data on whether the drug adalimumab (also called Humira) can decrease pain and stiffness, improve quality of life, and is safe in people with mucopolysaccharidosis type I, II, or VI. In this study people will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will be treated with adalimumab the first 16 weeks of the study and then with a saline injection for the last 16 weeks of the study. The other group will start with the saline injection for 16 weeks and then switch to adalimumab for the last 16 weeks. The study subject and the study doctor and study coordinator will not know what group a subject is in until the study is done. Adalimumab is given as an injection, just under the skin, every 2 weeks. Both groups will have blood drawn at a screening visit, and then 7 more times over the 32 week study. There will be safety labs done (liver and immune function tests). Other safety tests include a chest X-ray and screening for tuberculosis exposure - these will be done at the screening visit and later in the study if there is concern for tuberculosis exposure or a persistent cough. The following will also be done at screening, the first, middle, and last study visits: 1) a pregnancy test in all girls 8 and older, 2) questionnaires that ask about pain, how MPS impacts social and physical function, and other quality of life questions, 3) height and weight. Finally, a physical exam, that includes for children and adolescents a check of where they are in puberty, will be done by a study physician at the first, middle, and last visits. There are risks to taking adalimumab that include redness and pain where the injection is given, a decreased ability to fight off infections, and others. The safety tests are designed to identify and decrease the risk associated with adalimumab. The study physicians believe that the potential benefit of adalimumab on pain, quality of life, and other MPS related problems outweigh the potential risks of treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, pilot study consisting of a 32-week, crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled treatment phase of subjects with Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) types I, II or VI treated with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and/or hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Subjects will be treated with adalimumab (group 1) or placebo (group 2) for 16 weeks (i.e., 8 doses) then cross over to the other group for 16 weeks. Subjects will be treated with adalimumab (20 mg [weight 15-<30 kg] or 40 mg [weight ≥30 kg] administered subcutaneously [subQ] every other week) or placebo for 16 weeks, then cross-over to the other group for 16 weeks. Laboratory evaluations and Children's Health Questionnaire - Parent Form 50 (CHQ-PF50) for subjects <18 years of age or the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) for subjects ≥18 years will be assessed at Week 16 and 32 to evaluate early treatment safety and efficacy. Safety will be assessed with laboratory evaluations at 4, 8, 20, and 24 weeks after treatment initiation, and with study visits at week 16 and 32, Physical function will be measured by the CHQ-PF50/SF-36, joint range of motion (ROM), 6-minute walk test (6MWT), and strength testing (hand-grip dynamometer) at baseline, 16, and 32 weeks. Joint inflammation will be measured by serum markers at baseline, 16, and 32 weeks. Anthropometric measurements will also be performed at Baseline and 16 and 32 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Children's Health Questionnaire - Parent Form 50 Bodily Pain Standardized Score

    Children's Health Questionnaire - Parent Form 50 bodily pain (BP) standardized score for participants < 18 years of age. Range is from 0 to 100 (no units) and standardization if determined by comparison to healthy age matched children. Lower values mean increased pain. The difference of change in BP standardized score from day 0 to week 16 during adalimumab treatment minus change in BP standardized score from day 0 to week 16 during placebo treatment is reported.

    Measured: day 0 to week 16 of treatment with adalimumab versus placebo

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Children's Health Questionnaire - Parent Form 50 Physical Function (PF) Standardized Score

    Children's Health Questionnaire - Parent Form 50 physical function (PF) standardized score for participants < 18 years of age. Range is from 0 to 100 (no units) and standardization if determined by comparison to healthy age matched children. Lower values mean decreased physical function. The difference of change in PF standardized score from day 0 to week 16 during adalimumab treatment minus change in PF standardized score from day 0 to week 16 during placebo treatment is reported.

    Measured: Day 0 to week 16 of treatment with adalimumab versus placebo

  2. Pain Measured by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in the Pediatric Pain Questionnaire (PPQ)

    Percent of participants with a >10 mm improvement in either "how you feel now" or "worst pain you had this week" on the VA in the PPQ during adalimumab versus during placebo by either parental or subject report. Range is 0-100 mm; lower number means less pain.

    Measured: Day 0 to week 16 of treatment with adalimumab versus placebo

  3. Range of Motion - Bilateral Shoulder, Elbow, Hip, Knee

    Number of joints with a >5 degree more positive change during 16 weeks of adalimumab versus 16 weeks of placebo. A total of eight joints were measured.

    Measured: Day 0 to week 16 of treatment with adalimumab versus placebo

  4. Anti-ERT Antibodies

    Anti-laronidase antibodies for subjects with MPS I. Anti-idursulfase antibodies for subjects with MPS II.

    Measured: Day 0 to week 16 of treatment with adalimumab versus placebo

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Adalimumab in people with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I and Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II, run by Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center 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 6 inclusion and 17 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 15 Sep 2017. 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. 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 Sep 2017). 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?

Children's Health Questionnaire - Parent Form 50 Bodily Pain Standardized Score (time frame: day 0 to week 16 of treatment with adalimumab versus placebo). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 15 Sep 2017.
