The current treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II, Hunter syndrome) is enzyme replacement therapy with recombinant idursulfase (Elaprase®). The efficacy of ERT was established based primarily on reduction in urine glycosaminoglycans:creatinine (GAG:Cr) ratio and improvement in a composite score of predicted forced vital capacity (FVC% predicted) and 6-min walk-test distance (6MWT). We retrospectively reviewed these parameters in 11 boys with MPS II treated with idursulfase between April 2007 (or the time of diagnosis) and February 2010. Some results were inconsistent with published trial data, and there was only a small number of analyzable results obtained for the FVC% predicted and 6MWT. A major drawback was the high prevalence of neurological involvement and young age of patients in the study cohort compared with the clinical trials. This study emphasizes the limitations of the current tools utilized to monitor ERT efficacy and MPS II disease burden in clinical practice.
