Abstract: Abstract The safety and efficacy of elosulfase alfa were evaluated in a multicenter, open-label, phase 3b study in Australian Morquio A patients, consisting of a 49-week initial phase and an extension phase until elosulfase alfa was government funded. Thirteen patients (1-27 years) were enrolled. No new safety concerns were identified over 138 weeks. Most drug-related adverse events were mild or moderate in severity; none led to study discontinuation. After 49 weeks of treatment, median improvements from baseline were seen in the 6-minute walk test (+41.0 m), 3-minute stair climb test (+14.0 stairs/min), forced vital capacity (+16.4%), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (+14.1%), urine keratan sulfate (-7.1 µg/mg creatinine), and pain intensity. Growth, cardiac function, sleep, and quality of life results were mixed or stable. These results provide further evidence of the acceptable safety/tolerability profile of elosulfase alfa. The improvements in endurance, pulmonary function, and pain support findings from previous studies.
