Enzyme Replacement Therapy in Patients Who Have Mucopolysaccharidosis I and Are Younger Than 5 Years: Results of a Multinational Study of Recombinant Human α-l-Iduronidase (Laronidase)

Abstract: Laronidase seems to be well tolerated and to provide clinical benefit in patients who have severe mucopolysaccharidosis I and are <5 years old. Enzyme replacement therapy is not curative and may not improve all affected organs and systems in individuals when irreversible changes have developed. The long-term clinical outcome and effects of antibodies and laronidase dosing on glycosaminoglycan reduction warrant additional investigation.

“…For patients who do not undergo transplantation because of delayed diagnosis, lack of a compatible donor, or major concerns of parents, ERT has been used in an attempt to improve quality of life (Thomas et al 2006;Tokic et al 2007;Wraith et al 2007). Although some clinical benefits have been reported for ERT, continued musculoskeletal and central nervous system deterioration have been observed.…”

“…Although some clinical benefits have been reported for ERT, continued musculoskeletal and central nervous system deterioration have been observed. In a study of patients with severe MPS I younger than 5 years of age, follow-up was too short to draw any conclusions on neurocognitive outcome (Wraith et al 2007). Another potential limitation of ERT is the induction of an immune response to the therapeutic enzyme.…”

“…Com efeito, pesquisas têm mostrado o benefício das medicações para algumas das DDL, especialmente se tratadas precocemente ou voltadas para grupos específicos destes pacientes 27,28 . Além disto, critérios clínicos de inclusão e exclusão de pacientes ao tratamento também devem ser definidos e continuamente revistos, visto que as medicações disponíveis não têm apresentado redução favorável dos danos neurológicos já instalados nos casos das formas neuronopáticas de algumas das DDL 29 .…”

“…Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are lysosomal storage disorders that are characterized by the dysfunction of the lysosomal enzymes involved in the catabolism of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) due to a genetic mutation and GAG accumulation in the tissues (1). This accumulation differs depending on the deficiency of the specific enzyme (1).…”
