Enzyme therapy shows promise for rare disease in china
NCT ID NCT05134571
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested a drug called Aldurazyme (laronidase) in 12 Chinese people with mucopolysaccharidosis I (MPS I), a rare genetic disorder. Participants received weekly infusions for 26 weeks to see if the treatment is safe and reduces waste products in urine. The goal is to manage the disease, not cure it.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Aldurazyme (laronidase)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that Aldurazyme is safe and effective for Chinese patients with MPS I, providing a treatment option to manage the disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-arm study with only 12 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment does not cure MPS I and requires weekly infusions, which can cause infusion reactions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Chinese participants have a documented diagnosis of MPS I confirmed by measurable clinical signs and symptoms of MPS I and fibroblast or leukocyte IDUA (iduronidase) activity \<10% of normal. * Participants have to be able to stand independently and walk a minimum of 5 meters in 6 minutes. * A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: * Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP). * OR * Is a WOCBP and agrees to use an acceptable contraceptive method during the intervention period and at a minimum until 7 days after the last dose of study intervention. * A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within the screening period before the first dose of study intervention. * If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive. * Contraceptive/barrier method is not applicable for male participants. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior tracheostomy or bone marrow transplantation or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. * Have a plan to undergo bone marrow transplantation or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within half a year after enrollment. * Received an investigational drug, or device, other than Aldurazyme, within 30 days prior to study enrollment. * Received an investigational gene therapy. The above information is not intended to contain all considerations relevant to a potential participation in a clinical trial.
