Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I: Understanding

Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I: Overview

Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I (MPS I) is a rare genetic disorder that falls under the larger group of lysosomal storage diseases. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-L-iduronidase, which is crucial for breaking down glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), previously known as mucopolysaccharides. The accumulation of GAGs in various tissues and organs leads to the symptoms and complications associated with MPS I. The disorder can present in a spectrum of severity, traditionally classified into three subtypes: Hurler syndrome (severe), Hurler-Scheie syndrome (intermediate), and Scheie syndrome (mild).

The signs and symptoms of MPS I vary widely depending on the severity of the enzyme deficiency. In its most severe form, Hurler syndrome, symptoms typically appear within the first year of life. These can include coarse facial features, frequent respiratory infections, hepatosplenomegaly (enlarged liver and spleen), and developmental delays. Children with Hurler syndrome often experience progressive physical and mental deterioration, leading to severe disability and a significantly shortened life expectancy. In milder forms, such as Scheie syndrome, symptoms might not manifest until later in childhood or even adulthood and are generally less severe. Common symptoms across the spectrum include joint stiffness, vision and hearing impairments, heart valve abnormalities, and skeletal deformities.

MPS I is caused by mutations in the IDUA gene, which provides instructions for making the alpha-L-iduronidase enzyme. The lack of functional enzyme results in the accumulation of dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate, types of GAGs, in the lysosomes of cells. This buildup disrupts normal cellular function, leading to the progressive damage of tissues and organs. The pathophysiology of MPS I involves a complex interplay of cellular and molecular mechanisms that lead to inflammation, fibrosis, and cellular dysfunction across multiple systems.

Diagnosis of MPS I typically involves a combination of clinical evaluation, biochemical testing, and genetic analysis. Initial clinical suspicion might arise from observing characteristic physical symptoms and developmental delays. Biochemical tests, such as enzyme assays, can confirm reduced alpha-L-iduronidase activity. Genetic testing is used to identify mutations in the IDUA gene, providing a definitive diagnosis. Early diagnosis is critical for managing the disease effectively and improving outcomes.

Treatment for MPS I includes enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and supportive care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. ERT with laronidase (Aldurazyme) can help reduce the accumulation of GAGs and alleviate some symptoms, particularly if started early. HSCT, typically performed in severe cases like Hurler syndrome, can provide a source of healthy enzyme-producing cells but carries significant risks and is most effective when done before the onset of severe symptoms. Supportive treatments might include surgeries for heart or skeletal issues, physical therapy, and interventions for respiratory and hearing problems. Ongoing research aims to improve existing therapies and develop new approaches, such as gene therapy, to address the underlying genetic defect.

Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I Emerging Drugs

OTL 203: Orchard Therapeutics

OTL-203 is an investigational ex vivo autologous gene therapy being investigated for the treatment of MPS-I. It uses a modified virus to insert a functional copy of the IDUA gene into a patient’s cells. OTL-203 is being developed in partnership with the San Raffaele-Telethon Institute for Gene Therapy (SR-Tiget) in Milan, Italy. OTL-203 has received rare pediatric disease designation from the FDA. Through an ongoing proof-of-concept clinical trial, OTL-203 is being evaluated as a potential treatment for patients with the most severe form of MPS-I, known as Hurler syndrome. OTL-203 is an investigational therapy and has not been approved by any regulatory agency or health authority. Currently, the drug is in Phase III stage of its development for the treatment of Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I.

JR 171: JCR Pharmaceuticals

JR-171, is an investigational drug for the treatment of mucoplysaccharidosis type I (MPS I, or Hurler, Hurler-Scheie and Scheie syndrome). JR-171 is a blood-brain-barrier (BBB)-penetrating form recombinant α-L-iduronidase that was developed using JCR’s proprietary J-Brain Cargo® BBB technology. JR-171 received the orphan drug designation from the US Food Drug Administration (FDA) in February 2021. The trial is also scheduled for enrolling patients in the US.
