Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)
From study drug administration up to Week 28

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward, undesired, unplanned clinical event in the form of signs, symptoms, disease, or laboratory or physiological observations occurring in a participant, participating in a clinical study with study drug, regardless of causal relationship. TEAEs were AEs occurred after study drug administration that were absent before treatment or that worsened relative to pre-treatment state, up to Week 28 until evaluation (when last cohort had 26-week evaluation and data management performed within 4 weeks) completed.

Change From Baseline in Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) at Week 26
Baseline, Week 26

GMFM was measured using GMFM-88 item scores and summed to calculate a total GMFM-88 score. For each GMFM-88 item, the score was between 0 (minimal) to 3 (maximum). The total GMFM-88 score was between 0 (minimal) and 264 (maximum). The decrease in GMFM score over time indicates worsening of disease over time. Relative change from baseline at Week 26 was calculated as percentage change from baseline divided by the age-difference in months between first and last visit. Adjusted mean and 95 percent (%) confidence intervals were reported.

Change From Baseline in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Sulfatide at Week 26
Baseline, Week 26

Relative change from baseline at Week 26 was calculated as percentage change from baseline divided by the age-difference in months between first and last visit. Adjusted mean and 95 percent (%) confidence intervals were reported.

Number of Participants With Shift From Baseline to Week 26 in Sulfatide Levels in Urine
Baseline up to Week 26

Number of participants with shifts between negative (value=0) and positive (value=1) values in urine sulfatide levels from baseline at Week 26 is reported.

Change From Baseline in Mullen's Scales of Early Learning at Week 26
Baseline, Week 26

Mullen's Scales of Early Learning is used to assess performance and learning ability in young children. The scale consisted of 144 items that had specific scoring criteria for each item. The scores were converted to T-scores with a decrease in score indicating worsening of disease. Relative change from baseline at Week 26 was calculated as percentage change from baseline divided by the age-difference in months between first and last visit. Adjusted mean and 95 percent (%) confidence intervals were reported.

Maximum Plasma Drug Concentration (Cmax) of Recombinant Human Arylsulphatase A (rhASA)
Pre-dose and post-dose at 20, 40, 90 minutes, 3, 6 and 8 hours on Day 0, 40 minutes post-dose at Week 4, Pre-dose and post-dose at 20, 40, 90 minutes, 3, 6 and 8 hours at Week 8
Arylsulfatase A (ASA) Activity in Leukocytes
Pre-dose and post-dose at 24 hours on Day 0 and at Weeks 8 and 26

Secondary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Nerve Conduction Velocity at Week 26
Baseline, Week 26
Number of Participants Who Had Undergone Nerve Biopsy and Had a Normal Nerve at Both Baseline and Week 26
Baseline, Week 26
Number of Participants With Shift From Baseline to Week 26 in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-Loes Scores
