Evaluation of early treatment with intravenous idursulfase and intrathecal idursulfase-IT on cognitive function in siblings with neuronopathic mucopolysaccharidosis II. [PDF]
Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II; Hunter syndrome; OMIM 309900) is a rare, X‐linked, heterogeneous lysosomal storage disease. Approximately two‐thirds of patients develop cognitive impairment, which is difficult to assess in clinical trials, partly owing

Analysis of caregiver perspectives on patients with mucopolysaccharidosis II treated with pabinafusp alfa: results of qualitative interviews in Japan. [PDF]
Background Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II), or Hunter syndrome, is a rare X-linked metabolic disorder predominantly affecting males. Pabinafusp alfa, an iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme designed to cross the blood-brain barrier, was approved in Japan ...

Enzyme Replacement Therapy with Pabinafusp Alfa for Neuronopathic Mucopolysaccharidosis II: An Integrated Analysis of Preclinical and Clinical Data. [PDF]
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) improves somatic manifestations in mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS). However, because intravenously administered enzymes cannot cross the blood–brain barrier (BBB), ERT is ineffective against the progressive neurodegeneration ...

Natural progression of cardiac features and long-term effects of enzyme replacement therapy in Taiwanese patients with mucopolysaccharidosis II. [PDF]
Background Cardiac abnormalities have been observed in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II). The aim of this study was to investigate the cardiac features and natural progression of Taiwanese patients with MPS II, and evaluate the impact ...

High-Throughput Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Quantification of Glycosaminoglycans as Biomarkers of Mucopolysaccharidosis II. [PDF]
We recently developed a blood–brain barrier (BBB)-penetrating enzyme transport vehicle (ETV) fused to the lysosomal enzyme iduronate 2-sulfatase (ETV:IDS) and demonstrated its ability to reduce glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation in the brains of a ...
