MPSIIIC: Natural History Study of Participants With Sanfilippo Syndrome Type IIIC
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Sanfilippo syndrome type C is a ultra rare syndrome with limited available natural history data. This study is planned to document, through retrospective and prospective data collection, syndrome progression in children and young adults with Sanfilippo syndrome type
- The results from this study may inform future clinical studies in targeted therapies for patients with Sanfilippo syndrome type C and may serve as an external control since there are very few patients with Sanfilippo syndrome type C.

Detailed Description
This is a single-center, natural history study of subjects with Sanfilippo syndrome type C. This study will combine a retrospective review of medical records and an ongoing collection of clinical data on an observational basis from participants with Sanfilippo syndrome type C.
Participants will be asked to attend clinic visits in person on a yearly basis. In clinic visits will include neurocognitive, developmental, behavioral, biochemical, imaging measures as well as retrospective medical record analysis. At 6-month intervals between clinic visits, participants will be contacted remotely for some safety assessments (e.g., collecting information about concomitant medications, concurrent illnesses, and procedure-related adverse events [AEs] and serious AEs [SAEs] since last clinic visit). At 6-month intervals, caregivers will complete questionnaires and record home video assessments using a dedicated, compliant study application (app) called C-RARE (Recording Application for Real-World Evidence). The C-RARE app consists of 9 tasks of Activities of Daily Living and socialization as well as two parent reported questionnaires.
The objectives of this study are:
To enhance the understanding of the natural history and progression of Sanfilippo syndrome type C. To define and categorize clinical endpoints that may be used in future clinical trials.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change From Baseline in Development Quotient (DQ) Using Bayley Scales of Infant Development Assessment Fourth Edition [Baseline, 12 months and 24 months]
The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 4th edition (Bayley-4) is a standardized developmental assessment that provides raw scores for 5 subtests (cognitive, expressive communication, receptive communication, fine motor, gross motor) and standard score norms converted to percentiles for 3 scales (cognition, communication, motor). The Bayley-4 raw scores range from 0-162 for the cognitive subtest, 0-84 for the receptive communication subtest, 0-74 for the expressive communication subtest, 0-92 for the fine motor subtest, and 0-116 for the gross motor subtest; a higher score denotes a better outcome. The Bayley-4 standard score norms are converted to percentiles from <0.1 to >99.9 for the cognitive, language, and motor scales; a higher percentile denotes a better outcome.
- Change From Baseline in Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales Second Edition (VABS-II) Development Quotient (DQ) Score [Baseline, 12 months and 24 months]
The VABS-II test measures adaptive behaviors, including the ability to cope with environmental changes, to learn new everyday skills, and to demonstrate independence. The DQ is a means to express a neurodevelopmental/cognitive delay. The DQ was computed as a ratio and expressed as a percentage using the age-equivalent score divided by the age at testing ([age-equivalent score/chronological age] × 100; range, 0, 100). The overall DQ score is calculated from the mean age-equivalent score obtained by averaging out the age-equivalent scores for the all the sub-domains except for Gross and Fine motor skills. This test measures the following 5 key domains: communication, daily living skills, socialization, motor skills, and the adaptive behavior composite (a composite of the other 4 domains). A positive value indicates improvement in health and cognition.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change From Baseline Color Trail Test Time Score [Baseline, 12 months and 24 months]
Children's Color Trail Test (CCTT) assesses sustained attention, sequencing, and other executive functions while reducing reliance on language. A shorter time to completion is better.
- Change From Baseline of Regional Brain Volumes [Baseline, 12 months and 24 months]
Assessed by MRI, and especially cortical grey matter volume (CGMV). The brain MRI will assess volumes of the whole brain, basal ganglia, cerebellum, cerebellar gray matter, cerebellar white matter, cerebral white matter, cortical gray matter, cortical white matter, subcortical gray matter and ventricles; corpus callosum, cortical thickness; and whole brain apparent diffusion coefficient.
- Change From Baseline Assessment of Behavioral Changes in Sanfilippo (ABCS) [Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months]
There are 12 questions in the ABCS relating to behavior(s) that caregivers of children with Sanfilippo might find challenging to manage. Change from baseline will be determined by raw scores, a higher score denoting improvement in behavior.
- Change From Baseline in Functional Abilities Descriptive Analysis of Type C- Recording Application for Real-world Evidence (C-RARE) [Baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months]
Participants functional abilities will be captured via the C- RARE app at baseline, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, 24 months while performing tasks of Activities of Daily Living (ADLs). ADLs include: Clothing Management, Eating and Drinking, Chewing and Swallowing, Hygiene, Maintaining and Changing positions, Writing Skills, and Walking.
