Summary of completed intravenous idursulfase clinical studies

Study characteristic TKT008 TKT018 TKT024 TKT024EXT HGT-ELA-038
Phase; study design I/II; randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging I/II; open-label extension II/III; randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled II/III; open-label extension IV; open-label, single-arm
Treatment regimen(s) Idursulfase 0.15 mg/kg, 0.5 mg/kg or 1.5 mg/kg EOW Idursulfase 0.5 mg/kg EOW or weekly Idursulfase 0.5 mg/kg weekly Idursulfase 0.5 mg/kg weekly
Study duration 6 months 5.5 years 12 months 24 months 12 months
Number of patients 12 12 96 94 28
Patient demographics 6–20 years of age Stratification by baseline age and total disease score
Baseline age groups: 5–11 years, 12–18 years and 19–31 years
Baseline total disease score calculated from baseline 6MWT and % predicted FVC
1.4–7.5 years of age
Inclusion/exclusion criteria ≥5 years of age
Able to cooperate with taking of study measurements
Clinical features consistent with MPS II, including MPS-related hepatosplenomegaly, radiographic evidence of dysostosis multiplex, cardiomyopathy, upper airway obstruction
Biochemical criteria: I2S activity in plasma or leukocytes ≤5% of the lower limit of the normal range
Patients 5–31 years of age with a diagnosis of MPS II based on both clinical and biochemical criteria
Having any one of the following
MPS II-related signs/symptoms: hepatosplenomegaly, radiographic evidence of dysostosis multiplex, valvular heart disease, obstructive airway disease; I2S activity ≤10% of the lower limit of the normal range in plasma, fibroblasts or leukocytes; normal enzyme activity of another sulfatase
At baseline, all patients were required to reproducibly perform pulmonary function testing and have an FVC <80% of the predicted value
Patients who had a tracheostomy or who had received a bone marrow or cord blood transplant were excluded
Inclusion criteria:
Male ≤5 years of age
MPS II diagnosis: I2S activity ≤10% of the lower limit of the normal range and normal activity of one other sulfatase
Exclusion criteria:
Previously treated with another investigational therapy within 30 days before enrollment
Previously received idursulfase
Clinically relevant medical condition(s) making implementation of the protocol difficult
Known hypersensitivity to any of the components of idursulfase
Tracheostomy
