Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Adalimumab in MPS I, II, and VI

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, single-center study followed by open-label phase, to evaluate the effects of adalimumab compared to placebo on the change from baseline in joint and skeletal disease in children and adults with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) I, II or VI. Children and adults diagnosed with MPS I, II or VI, with significant joint restrictions and pain will be randomized to adalimumab treatment or placebo treatment for the first 16 weeks. This will be followed by a 32-week open label adalimumab treatment phase.

Inclusion criteria

• Weight ≥15 kg;
• Significant bodily pain reported by the CHQ-PF50 or SF-36 (> 1 SD more severe [below] than the general population mean);
• ≥ 3 joints with limitations in motion; and Patient or parent/legal guardian is able and willing to provide informed consent. For patients 7 to 17 years of age, assent must also be provided.
