Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the natural course of disease progression in Mucopolysaccharidosis Type III (MPS IIIB) patients who are untreated to identify potential surrogate endpoints that may be utilized in future treatment trials of MPS IIIB using predefined assessments including standardized clinical, biochemical, neurocognitive, developmental, and imaging measures.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter longitudinal, prospective, natural history study of patients with MPSIIIB designed to identify potential surrogate endpoints that may be utilized in future Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) trials of MPS IIIB via defined assessments including standardized clinical, biochemical, neurocognitive, development, and imaging measures.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Each patient must meet all of the following criteria to be enrolled in this study.

1. Definitive diagnosis of MPS IIIB, as determined by one of the following:

1. Documented deficiency in alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase (NAGLU) enzyme activity of ≤10% of the lower limit of the normal range as measured in fibroblasts, leukocytes, plasma, or serum (based on normal range for diagnosis of MPS IIIB). Patients who do not already have a documented deficiency of NAGLU activity will provide a blood sample during screening for determination of NAGLU activity level in their serum. OR
2. Two documented mutations in the NAGLU gene. Patients who do not already have a documented genotype of NAGLU will provide a blood sample during screening for NAGLU genotyping.
2. The patient is ≥1 and \< 10 years of age and has an age equivalent on the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS) of ≥1 year
3. The patient is medically stable, in the opinion of the Investigator, to accommodate the protocol requirements, including travel and assessments, without placing an undue burden on the patient/patient's family.

Exclusion Criteria

Patients will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria at screening:

1. Presence of significant non-MPS IIIB related central nervous system (CNS) impairment or behavioral disturbances, sufficient, in the opinion of the Investigator, to preclude performance of study neurocognitive and developmental testing procedures, or that would confound the scientific integrity or interpretation of study assessments.
2. Visual or hearing impairment sufficient to preclude cooperation with neurodevelopmental testing.
3. Patient has a known or suspected hypersensitivity to anesthesia or is thought to be at an unacceptable risk from anesthesia, due to airway compromise or other conditions, in the opinion of the Investigator.
4. Personal history or family history of neuroleptic malignant syndrome, malignant hyperthermia, or other anesthesia-related concerns.
5. History of poorly controlled seizure disorder.
6. Currently receiving psychotropic or other medications, which in the Investigator's opinion would be likely to substantially confound test results.
7. History of bleeding disorder, inability to abstain from medications that affect blood clotting(e.g., aspirin, Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAIDs)), or history of their ingestion within 1 week prior to a lumbar puncture.
8. History of complications from previous lumbar punctures that, in the opinion of the Investigator, place the patient at increased risk from this procedure.
9. The patient is participating, plans to participate, or participated in a clinical trial of another investigational medicinal product, or has received a vaccination, within the 30 days prior to the study or for less than 5 half lives (whichever is longer) of the investigational product.
10. History of hematopoietic stem cell or bone marrow transplant.
11. Unable to assent, or the patient's parent(s) or patient's legal guardian(s) is/are unable to understand the nature, scope, and possible consequences of the study, or do/does not agree to comply with the protocol defined schedule of assessments.
12. Patient is unable to comply with the protocol (e.g., has a clinically relevant medical condition making implementation of the protocol difficult, unstable social situation, or otherwise unlikely to complete the study) or is, in the opinion of the Investigator, otherwise unsuited for the study.
13. The patient has any item (braces, tattoos, etc) which would exclude the patient from being able to undergo MRI according to local Institutional Policy, or the patient has any other situation that would exclude the patient from undergoing any other procedure required in this study.
14. The patient is pregnant.
