Immune Tolerance Study With Aldurazyme® (Laronidase)

The purpose of this study is to see if treatment with an antigen-specific immunosuppressive can decrease or stop an antibody response to laronidase (Aldurazyme®) during enzyme replacement therapy with laronidase in severe Mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I) participants.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Written informed consent is required from the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) prior to any protocol-related procedures being performed. (A separate informed consent will be requested from the parent(s) for their genotyping, which is independent of the inclusion)
  • Participant's parent(s) or legal guardian(s) allow their child's participation and are willing and able to comply with trial procedures
  • The participant must be up to and including 5 years of age at the time of enrollment
  • Clinical diagnosis of the severe (Hurler) phenotype of MPS I
  • Confirmed presence of 2 nonsense mutations in the alfa-L-iduronidase (IDUA) gene (that is, compound heterozygosity or homozygosity). For the purpose of enrollment, genotyping may be performed by a local laboratory. If no genotyping is performed by a local laboratory, a sample is collected for analysis by a central laboratory before enrollment
  • Documented IDUA deficiency with fibroblast, plasma, serum, leukocyte or dried blood spot IDUA enzyme activity assay

Exclusion criteria

  • The participant has a clinically significant organ disease including: cardiovascular, hepatic, pulmonary, neurologic, or renal disease, other serious intercurrent illness or extenuating circumstances that, in the opinion of the investigator, precludes participation in the trial or potentially decrease survival
  • The participant has previously received treatment with laronidase
  • The participant has known severe hypersensitivity to any excipients of the delivery solution for laronidase or to any of the other investigational drugs used in the study
  • The participant has undergone a haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), regardless of outcome, or is currently under consideration for such a transplant. If a family later decides to obtain HSCT, the participant will be discontinued from the trial
  • The participant has received an investigational product within the 30 days prior to enrollment
  • The participant has prior treatment in any experimental protocol (for example, fibroblast injections) that might potentially induce antibodies to laronidase or might affect the interpretation of the participant's antibody response to laronidase
  • The participant has received vaccination(s) within 1 month prior to enrollment, or is unwilling to postpone vaccinations during the Tolerance Induction Period in the trial
  • The participant is homozygous for thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) deficiency, as determined by the genotype (the presence of 2 known null alleles for TPMT) or phenotype (near to complete absence of TPMT enzyme activity)
  • The participant has a prior history of tuberculosis or a positive test for latent tuberculosis infection

Treatment and study plan

Laronidase

Biological

0.058 mg/kg - 0.58 mg/kg IV infusion weekly.

Other names: Aldurazyme®

Cyclosporine A (CsA)

Drug

Orally three times daily.

Other names: Neoral®

Azathioprine (Aza)

Drug

Orally either every day for Cohort 1 or every other day for Cohort 2.

Other names: Imuran®

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Who Achieved Immune Tolerance Induction

    Time frame: 24 weeks after start of full-dose laronidase therapy

    Immune tolerance induction success was defined as development of an anti-laronidase immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titer less than or equal to (<=) 1:3200 after 24 weeks of receiving full-dose (0.58 mg/kg) laronidase therapy.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percent Reduction of Urinary Glycosaminoglycan (uGAG) Level From Baseline to the End of Treatment/Early Withdrawal

    Time frame: Baseline, end of treatment/early withdrawal (up to 24 weeks after start of full-dose laronidase therapy)

    Urinary Glycosaminoglycan (uGAG) Levels: concentration of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) relative to creatinine in urine. A greater decrease in uGAG level indicates a greater response.
