trial on safety and efficacy of velmanase alfa treatment in pediatric patients with alpha-mannosidosis

Conditions: Alpha-Mannosidosis

Summary: the main objectives of the study are to evaluate safety and efficacy of repeated treatment with recombinant human alfa-mannosidase of patients with alfa-mannosidosis aged less than 6 years

the primary endpoints of the study include: * safety and tolerability of velmanase alfa as per adverse events (aes, including irr), vital signs, laboratory parameters (hematology, biochemistry and urinanalysis) * detection of anti-velmanase alfa antibodies and neutralizing/inhibitory antibodies the secondary endpoints include changes from baseline to 24 months for the following parameters. efficacy outcomes: * serum oligosaccharides * functional capacity: peabody developmental motor scale - 2nd edition (pdms-2) scores, mullen's scale of early learning (msel) scores, bruininks-oseretsky test of motor proficiency-2nd edition (bot-2), when applicable by age (from 4 years) or upon the judgment of the physician * endurance: 3-minute stair climb test (3msct) and 6-minute walk test (6mwt) in pediatric patients from 4 years of age, or when applicable according to the judgment of the physician, 2-minute walk test (2mwt) in pediatric patients below 4 years of age, or when applicable according to the judgment of the physician * hearing evaluation: otoacoustic emissions (oae) testing, automatic auditory brainstem response (a-abr) audiometry * immunological profile, when applicable upon the judgment of the physician: * csf biomarkers: tau protein (tau), neurofilament protein light (nfl), glial fibrillary acidic protein (gfap), oligosaccharides * assessment of quality of life via questionnaire to parents * assessment of mannose-rich oligosaccharides in brain tissue, mri * pharmacokinetic parameters
