Plain-language summary
The objectives of this program are: to further characterize the natural progression of MPS VI disease; to generate and disseminate information on the care and management of MPS VI patients to clinical and medical professionals; to provide a resource to physicians and patients by providing information for optimizing patient care based on aggregate data; to characterize the clinical response to long-term Naglazyme® (galsulfase) treatment; to further characterize the long-term safety of Naglazyme® treatment.

Inclusion Criteria
All patients must meet the following criteria to qualify for enrollment in the CSP:
* Patient or patient's parent or legal guardian, if child is under 18 year old or is unable to consent, has provided a signed Patient Information and Authorization Form.
* Patient has laboratory results confirming a diagnosis of MPS VI disease based on detection of deficient ARSB activity (on fibroblasts, leucocytes or dried blood spots)and/or abnormality on the ARSB gene.
* Patient is willing to undergo general assessments to establish baseline data or permits physician to enter assessment data recorded prior to CSP entry if available in the patient's medical records. General assessments include: urinary GAG level, urinary protein level, serum sample for antibody levels, height, weight, and patient history.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
To further characterize the natural progression of MPS VI disease, irrespective of treatment modality and to evaluate efficacy and safety treatment with Galsulfase.
