Abstrakt: Background: Mucopolysaccharidosis type VI (MPS VI) is due to a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme arylsulfatase B (ARSB) that results in multi-organ accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Limitations of current treatments prompted the development of a liver-directed gene therapy clinical trial for MPS VI.
Methods: We report the long-term follow-up of patients with MPS VI who discontinued enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and received a single intravenous infusion of high-dose (6 × 10 12 genome copies/kg) recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 8 (AAV8) vector expressing ARSB under the control of a liver-specific promoter (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT03173521). Primary outcomes were safety and urinary GAG excretion. Secondary outcomes were endurance and respiratory function.
Findings: Median follow-up time was 45 months (n = 4, three females and one male; age range: 5-10 years). No late-emergent safety events were observed. Patients showed sustained serum ARSB activity (38%-67% of mean healthy reference values), a modest increase in urinary GAG concentrations, and no relevant changes in endurance, cardiac, or pulmonary function. In one of the four patients, ERT was restarted because of elevated urinary GAGs without decreased serum ARSB activity up to about 2.5 years after gene transfer. Liver and spleen size remained within the reference ranges.
Conclusions: A single intravenous administration of AAV8.TBG.hARSB was safe and resulted in sustained ARSB expression and a modest increase in urinary GAGs in most patients, thus supporting liver-directed gene therapy for MPS VI.
Funding: This study was sponsored by the Telethon Foundation ETS, the European Union, the Isaac Foundation, and the Italian Ministry of University and Research.
