A Phase 3 Study of UX003 Recombinant Human Betaglucuronidase (rhGUS) Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Patients With Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 7 (MPS 7)

United States12 participantsStarted 2014-12

Plain-language summary

The Phase 3 study will use a novel randomized, intra-subject placebo-controlled, single crossover design, referred to as Blind Start, to evaluate the safety and efficacy of UX003. The Blind Start is a novel design whereby participants will be randomized to 1 of 4 groups, each representing a different treatment sequence, and will cross over to UX003 at different pre-defined time points in a blinded manner. All groups will receive a minimum of 24 weeks treatment with 4 mg/kg UX003 every other week (QOW).

Inclusion Criteria: * Confirmed diagnosis of MPS 7 based on leukocyte or fibroblast glucuronidase enzyme assay or genetic testing. * Elevated urinary glycosaminoglycan (uGAG) excretion at a minimum of 3-fold over the mean normal for age (at Screening). * Apparent clinical signs of lysosomal storage disease as judged by the Investigator, including at least one of the following: enlarged liver and spleen, joint limitations, airway obstruction or pulmonary problems, limitation of mobility while still ambulatory. * Aged 5 - 35 years, inclusive. * Willing and able to provide written informed consent, or in the case of subjects under the age of 18 (or 16 years, depending on the region), provide written assent (if required) and written informed consent by a legally authorized representative after the nature of the study has been explained, and prior to any research-related procedures. * Sexually active subjects must be willing to use acceptable highly effective methods of contraception while participating in the study and for 30 days following the last dose. * Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at Screening and be willing to have additional pregnancy tests during the study. Females considered not of childbearing potential include those who have not experienced menarche, or have had tubal ligation at least one year prior to Screening, or who have had total hysterectomy. * Naïve to treatment with UX003. Exclusion Criteria: * Undergone a successful…

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.
