Summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of anti-idursulfase IgG, IgM & IgE antibodies on idursulfase safety (measured by infusion related adverse events) between patients who develop anti-idursulfase antibodies and patients who do not after long-term idursulfase enzyme replacement therapy.

Clinical Details

Official title: A Multi-Center Observational Study Evaluating Anti-Idursulfase Serum Antibody Response in Hunter Syndrome Patients Enrolled in the Hunter Outcome Survey (HOS) Receiving Idursulfase Enzyme Replacement Therapy

Study design: Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective

Primary outcome: To evaluate the relative risk of experiencing an infusion-related adverse event given anti-idursulfase antibody positive status relative to anti-idursulfase antibody negative status.

Secondary outcome: To measure the mean (and percent) difference in urinary GAG level between the groups of IgG anti-idursulfase antibody positive and anti-idursulfase IgG antibody negative patients.

Detailed description: This study is being conducted to satisfy post-marketing commitments to monitor anti-idursulfase antibody development in Hunter syndrome patients after long-term idursulfase enzyme replacement therapy. The study will be conducted as a sub-study within the Hunter Outcome Survey (HOS). Hunter syndrome patients in the HOS who have previously received idursulfase as well as treatment-naive patients who will begin idursulfase treatment within 30 days of study enrollment will be included.

Eligibility

Minimum age: 5 Years. Maximum age: N/A. Gender(s): Male.

Criteria:

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients must meet all of the following criteria to be considered eligible for enrollment:

- The patient is male and enrolled in the HOS (i. e., meets the entry criteria of a

documented diagnosis of Hunter syndrome)

- The patient is ≥ 5 years-old

- The patient is on idursulfase treatment or scheduled to begin idursulfase treatment

within 30 days of study enrollment

- The patient, patient's parent(s), or patient's legally authorized guardian must have

voluntarily signed an Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)-approved informed consent form after all relevant aspects of the study have been explained and discussed with the patient, patient's parent(s), or patient's legally authorized guardian.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for this study:

- The patient has received biologic/ERT products other than idursulfase, or other

investigational product(s) for any reason within 30 days prior to study entry.

- The patient has a life expectancy of < 2 years

- The patient is unable to comply with the protocol, e. g., has a clinically relevant

medical condition making implementation of the protocol difficult; has an uncooperative attitude; is unable to return for safety evaluations; or is otherwise unlikely to complete the study, as determined by the Investigator.
