ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber 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.
PrimaryChange From Baseline in Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) at Week 26Baseline, 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.
PrimaryChange From Baseline in Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Sulfatide at Week 26Baseline, 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.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Shift From Baseline to Week 26 in Sulfatide Levels in UrineBaseline up to Week 26Number of participants with shifts between negative (value=0) and positive (value=1) values in urine sulfatide levels from baseline at Week 26 is reported.
PrimaryChange From Baseline in Mullen's Scales of Early Learning at Week 26Baseline, 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.
PrimaryMaximum 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
PrimaryArylsulfatase A (ASA) Activity in LeukocytesPre-dose and post-dose at 24 hours on Day 0 and at Weeks 8 and 26
SecondaryChange From Baseline in Nerve Conduction Velocity at Week 26Baseline, Week 26
An electrophysiological evaluation using standard electrophysiological and electromyography to measure the speed and extent of nerve conduction and units are expressed in meters per second. Abbreviations: MN=Median Nerve; PN=Peroneal Nerve; SN=Sural Nerve; Dig.=Digit; FH=fibular hemimelia; L LM=left lateral medial; R LM=right lateral medial; MC=medial collateral.
SecondaryNumber of Participants Who Had Undergone Nerve Biopsy and Had a Normal Nerve at Both Baseline and Week 26Baseline, Week 26
SecondaryNumber of Participants With Shift From Baseline to Week 26 in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-Loes ScoresBaseline up to Week 26
Loes scoring system is used to grade the demyelinating abnormalities on brain MRI. A total of 17 locations of the brain were scored from 0 (normal appearance) to 2 (dense appearance). The total score ranged from 0 to 34 with a score of 14 or greater being considered severe. Number of participants with any shift of score between 0 to 2 for each of the 17 locations (Parieto Occipital \[PO\]-Periventricular \[P\], Central \[C\], Subcortical \[Sc\]; Anterior Temporal \[AT\]-P, C, Sc; Frontal \[F\]-P, C, Sc; Corpus Callosum \[CC\]-Splenium \[S\], Genus \[G\]; Projection Fibers \[PF\]-Capsular interna \[CI\] ant, CI post, Brainstem \[B\]; Cerebellum \[Cb\]-Cortex, Atrophy; Basal Ganglia \[BG\]-BG, Thalamus \[T\]; Cerebral Atrophy \[CA\]-CA), are only reported.
