An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence, whether or not considered drug related. A serious AE is an AE that at any dose, results in any of the following outcomes: death; a life-threatening AE; inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or is an important medical event. AEs were graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE), version 4.0: Grade 1 (mild), Grade 2 (moderate), Grade 3 (severe), Grade 4 (life-threatening), Grade 5 (death). TEAEs were defined as reported AEs with onset during the treatment.
Baseline was defined as the average of all assessments prior to or on the date of cross-over to active treatment with UX003. (This provides the valid assessment, as placebo effect was subtracted from the treatment effect estimate providing a more conservative assessment of the true treatment effect.) Percent change from baseline in uGAG DS was analyzed by generalized estimating equation (GEE) modeling based on observed data. The GEE model included included baseline value, and the UX003 treatment week as a categorical variable. The covariance structure within subjects was assumed to be exchangeable. In the United States (US), this was considered a secondary outcome measure. Per guidance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), no primary efficacy variable was declared in the US. Efficacy was to be based on the totality of the clinical data on a per participant basis.
Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry-dermatan sulfate (LS-MS/MS-DS) method. For the participant previously treated with UX003 under an eIND, percent change from initial baseline was used.
Adverse event (AE): any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, whether or not considered drug related. Serious AE (SAE): an AE or suspected adverse reaction that at any dose results in any of the following outcomes: death; a life-threatening AE; inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; a congenital anomaly/birth defect. Other important medical events may also, in the opinion of the Investigator, be considered SAEs. An AE was considered a TEAE if it occurred on or after the first dose, and was not present prior to the first dose, or it was present at the first dose but increased in severity during the study. Events recorded as either possibly, probably, or definitely related to treatment were categorized as related. AE severity was graded using the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 4.03.
Percentage change from baseline in the concentration of uGAGs normalized to the urinary creatinine concentration as measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry-dermatan sulfate.
Percentage change from baseline in the concentration of uGAGs normalized to the urinary creatinine concentration as measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry-chondroitin sulfate.
Participants with a ≥ 50% decrease in the concentration of uGAGs normalized to the urinary creatinine concentration as measured by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry-dermatan sulfate or chondroitin sulfate.

Inclusion Criteria: * Confirmed diagnosis of MPS 7 based on leukocyte or fibroblast glucuronidase enzyme assay or genetic testing. * Willing and able to provide written, signed informed consent or, in the case of subjects under the age of 18 (or 16 years, depending on the region), provide written a...
UX003 is an investigational enzyme replacement therapy being developed for Sly Syndrome, also known as Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 7 (MPS 7) or MPS VII. It is designed to treat patients with this rare lysosomal storage disease, which is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme beta-glucuronidase.
UX003 is being developed by Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker symbol RARE. The company is focused on developing treatments for rare and ultra-rare diseases.
UX003 has completed Phase 3 clinical trials for the treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 7 (MPS 7), also known as Sly Syndrome. The drug is still investigational and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. It remains in clinical development.
UX003 has been studied in several completed clinical trials, including NCT01856218, a Phase 1/2 study in the United Kingdom; NCT02230566, a Phase 3 study in the United States; NCT02418455, a Phase 2 study in patients under 5 years old; and NCT02432144, a Phase 3 study conducted in multiple countries.
UX003 is a recombinant human beta-glucuronidase (rhGUS) enzyme replacement therapy. It works by providing the missing or deficient beta-glucuronidase enzyme to patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 7 (MPS 7), helping to break down accumulated glycosaminoglycans in the body.
Yes, UX003 is also known as recombinant human beta-glucuronidase (rhGUS). In clinical trial records, it is referred to as UX003 Recombinant Human Beta-glucuronidase or rhGUS, and it is being studied as an enzyme replacement therapy for Mucopolysaccharidosis Type 7.
