Descriptive Information Fields
Brief Title  Long-Term Metazym Treatment of Patients With Late Infantile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD)
Official Title  A Single Center, Open-Label, Non-Randomized, Uncontrolled, Multiple-Dose Study of the Efficacy and Long-Term Safety of Metazym (Recombinant Human Arylsulfatase A or rhASA) for the Treatment of Patients With Late Infantile Metachromatic Leukodystrophy
Brief Summary

This is a single center, open-label study of patients with late infantile MLD. All patients were previous treated 26 weeks in the phase I trial (EudraCT number: 2006-005341-11). All patients will be offered continuing treatment in this study and will in this protocol receive 13 infusions, whereby the patients total have had 27 infusions of Metazym. One infusion will be given every other week. After a total of 52 weeks of treatment the subjects will continue treatment in a compassionate use protocol. Safety (AE/SAE) will be monitored at every visit. The efficacy observed during the first 26 weeks of treatment in the phase I trial (EudraCT number: 2006-005341-11) will be studied further during totally 1 year of treatment. The myelin recovery (CNS and PNS) and functional capacity will be evaluated after this long-term treatment.
