Long-term Follow-up of RGX-121 in Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II) Patients

This study will follow Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (MPS II) patients after enrolling and receiving study drug RGX 121 in the parent study RGX 121-101. The purpose of this study is to determine drug safety and efficacy of RGX 121. No study drug is being given in this study.

If you agree to take part, your participation will last for up to 3 years after having completed participation in the parent studies. It will include up to 7 visits: up to 4 on-site study visits and 3 check-ins (e.g., over the phone or by internet). The impact of RGX-121 on biomarkers in patients' cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), blood plasma, and urine will also be evaluated in the long-term.

Lysosomal Storage Disease Registry

This research study is called the Lysosomal Storage Disease Registries. A registry is a database that gathers information about people and their medical treatment. This observational registry is supported by Genzyme Corporation. The goal is to collect information on people with Gaucher, Fabry, MPS I, or Pompe disease. The information might be used for many different research studies about Lysosomal Storage Diseases. It is hoped that healthcare professionals can use this information to better understand these diseases. We expect these registries will continue for a number of years.

Natural History of PMM2-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation

The goal of this natural history study is to collect clinical and biological information from patients with PMM2-CDG over 3 years. This study does not involve any investigational medications, but will provide information to researchers who are currently developing a medication to treat the disease. Participants in this study may be invited to take part in the upcoming drug study. This natural history study includes: physical exams, blood draws, ECG, ophthalmology exams as well as optional Echos, developmental testing, and liver assessments. If you have any of these procedures scheduled as routine appointments, you will not need a duplicate exam. If they are not part of your routine visits, the cost of exams will be provided free of charge. To learn more about the study, please contact our team via the information listed below.

Registry of Patients with Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency

This is an observational registry study intended to document the course of Lysosomal Acid Lipase Deficiency (LALD), in order to further understand the disease, its progression, which treatments are effective, and any related complications. As an observational study, no additional study visits - outside of subjects usual Metabolism clinic visit - are required. Eligible patients will be asked to sign an informed consent form prior to enrollment and will periodically have the option of completing questionnaires about their quality of life.
