Exploring concurrent validity of the CLN2 Clinical Rating Scale: Comparison to PedsQL using cerliponase alfa clinical trial data. [PDF]
BackgroundThe CLN2 Clinical Rating Scale evaluates disease progression in CLN2 disease, an ultra-rare, neurodegenerative disorder with late infantile onset. To validate the Clinical Rating Scale, a comparison with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (

Study of Intraventricular Cerliponase Alfa for CLN2 Disease
Recombinant human tripeptidyl peptidase 1 (cerliponase alfa) is an enzyme-replacement therapy that has been developed to treat neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) disease, a rare lysosomal disorder that causes progressive dementia in children.In a multicenter, open-label study, we evaluated the effect of intraventricular infusion of ...

Psychometric Validation of the CLN2 Quality of Life Questionnaire in Participants with CLN2 Disease Treated with Cerliponase Alfa. [PDF]
Objectives: This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 Quality of Life (CLN2 QoL) questionnaire. Methods: Data from children with CLN2 disease aged 3–16 years receiving cerliponase alfa in the BMN 190-201 and BMN 190-202 clinical studies, collected via purposive sampling, were used to assess convergent and ...

Patient and Family Perspective on Transition from Ventricular Access Device to Chest-Sited Port for Intracerebroventricular Infusion in CLN2 Disease [PDF]
Background: Cerliponase alfa is currently the only approved disease-modifying therapy for neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) disease and requires lifelong intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusion, traditionally via a scalp-sited ventricular ...

Two-year follow-up of gait and postural control following initiation of recombinant human tripeptidyl intracerebroventricular enzyme replacement therapy in two atypical CLN2 patients [PDF]
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) is a rapidly progressive neurodegenerative disorder leading to premature mortality. Ambulatory CLN2 patients typically receive standard of care treatment through biweekly intracerebroventricular (ICV) enzyme ...

Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis type 2 (CLN2) is a neurodegenerative lysosomal disease which leads to early dementia and death without treatment. The recently available therapy consists of intracerebroventricular enzyme substitution: cerliponase alfa. In this report, we describe the evolution of the first French children treated with cerliponase alfa ...

Intracerebroventricular Cerliponase Alfa for Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Type 2 Disease: Clinical Practice Considerations From US Clinics [PDF]
Neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2 or CLN2 disease is a rare, autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder caused by tripeptidyl peptidase 1 deficiency. Cerliponase alfa, a recombinant human tripeptidyl peptidase 1 enzyme, is the first and only approved treatment for CLN2 disease and the first approved enzyme replacement therapy
