    Time frame: Prospective participants: From Baseline till End-of- Study Treatment (Approximately 9.75 years); HOS participants followed up to a maximum of 9.5 years where participant data were accessed from the registry between the period of 08/01/07 to 02/06/22

  3. Percent Change From Baseline for Urinary Glycosaminoglycans (uGAG) Levels Normalized to Urine Creatinine

    Urinary GAG levels were normalized to urine creatinine (normalized uGAG) and reported as mg uGAG/ millimoles (mmol) creatinine.

    Time frame: Baseline to End-of-Study (Approximately 9.75 years)

  4. Normalized uGAG Divided by Upper Llimit of Normal for Age (uGAG/ULN) Every 12 Months

    Normalized uGAG was divided by the upper limit of normal for age (uGAG/ULN), where the ULN for uGAG was obtained from Mayo Clinic.

    Time frame: Baseline to End-of-Study (Approximately 9.75 years)

  5. Liver Volume

    Liver volume was assessed using abdominal ultrasonography.

    Time frame: Baseline up to 24 Months

  6. Spleen Volume

    Spleen volume was assessed using abdominal ultrasonography.

    Time frame: Baseline up to 24 Months

  7. Joint Mobility, as Measured by Joint Range of Motion (JROM) Scores, Including Upper-Limb and Lower-Limb Joint Scores

    Global JROM (% normal range of motion \[ROM\]) is average of 11 ratios multiplied by 100. Ratios are Left/Right means of passive ROM in Shoulder (Flexion \[flex\]/Extension \[ext\], Abduction, Internal/External Rotation), Elbow (flex/ext), Wrist (flex/ext), Index Finger (flex/ext \[Combined Metacarpophalangeal joint, Proximal interphalangeal joint, Distal interphalangeal joint motion\]), Hip (flex/ext, Abduction, Internal/External Rotation), Knee(flex/ext) \& Ankle (Dorsiflexion) divided by normal range (reference: American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and American Medical Association). For reported values of upper limb (UL) \& lower limb (LL) scores, UL score is average of 3 joint scores in UL (shoulder-elbow-wrist) \& LL score is average of 3 joint scores in LL (hip-knee-ankle). Joint motion (in degrees) was averaged across both sides, divided by normal value \& multiplied by 100 to yield a percent score. Score \>100% occurs when measured joint motion exceeds normal reference values.

    Time frame: From Baseline to End-of-Study (approximately 9.75 years)

  8. Distance Walked, as Measured by Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT)

    The 6MWT was conducted according to the American Thoracic Society guidelines for the 6MWT in participants who were able to walk. The distance achieved in meters was recorded.

    Time frame: From Baseline to End-of-Study (approximately 9.75 years)

  9. Quality of Life, as Measured by Hunter-Syndrome Functional Outcome in Clinical Understanding Scale (HS-FOCUS)

    The participant's QoL was assessed using the HS-FOCUS (shortened version) questionnaire. The HS-FOCUS (shortened version) questionnaire has 5 function domains (walking/standing, grip/reach, schooling/work, activities, and breathing). The scale of the 5 function domains ranges from 0 to 3, with a 3-score denoting highest disability: 0: with no difficulty;1: with some difficulty; 2: with much difficulty; 3: unable to do; Missing: Does not apply. The response option "Does not apply" is treated as "missing" with no score, the same as if the item had not been completed in the questionnaire. Higher scores indicate worse functional outcomes/greater disability.

    Time frame: Baseline to End-of-Study (Approximately 9.75 years)

  10. Impact of Illness on Ability to Function in Daily Life, as Measured by Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ Parent Report)

    Impact on ability to function in daily life was measured by the CHAQ (Parent Report). The CHAQ includes 30 items measured on a scale of 0 to 3: 0=without any difficulty; 1=with some difficulty; 2=with much difficulty; 3=Unable to do; Missing: Does not apply. It evaluates functional abilities across 8 domains (dressing, hygiene, arising, eating, walking, reach, grip and activities). The result is referred as Disability Index. The highest scoring item in each category determines the score for that category with higher scores indicating worse functioning/higher disability. The Discomfort Index and Health Status Index are measured on separate 15 cm scales. The distance from the left end of the scale to the respondent's mark is measured and multiplied by 0.2 to calculate the score (range 0-3). Discomfort and Health Status Index scores were rescaled to 0-100 scales. Higher scores indicate greater discomfort/worse health status.

    Time frame: Baseline to End-of-Study (approximately 9.75 years)

  11. Adaptive Behavior, as Measured by the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS II)

    Adaptive behavior was assessed using parent/caregiver report on the VABS-II, a standardized norm-referenced tool to evaluate adaptive behavior for ages 0-90.VABS-II has 1 composite score(Adaptive Behavior Composite \[ABC\]), reflecting overall adaptive ability.ABC comprises 4 domain scores in participants \<7years old(Communication,Daily Living Skills,Socialization,\& Motor Skills)\& 3 domain scores in participants ≥7years of age(Communication,Daily Living Skills,\& Socialization).ABC standard score is derived from domain standard scores per VABS-II manual(not a simple sum/average of the reported standard scores).Domain scores are standard scores derived from combination of 11 subdomain scores according to VABS-II scoring rules/manual.Scale for ABC \& domain standard scores ranges between 20 \& 160.ABC \& domain scores have a normative mean=100,with SD=15 \& subdomain scores are normed with a mean=15 \& SD=3.Higher scores indicate better,while lower scores indicate worse adaptive functioning.

    Time frame: Baseline to End-of-Study (approximately 9.75 years)

  12. Anti-Idursulfase Antibodies (ADA) in Serum

    Blood samples were collected and analyzed for determination of anti-idursulfase antibodies every 6 months in SHP-ELA-401. Analysis of anti-idursulfase antibodies including neutralizing antibodies (NAb) was conducted using validated 3-tier immunoassay methods (screening, confirmatory, and titer).

SecondaryJoint Mobility, as Measured by Joint Range of Motion (JROM) Scores, Including Upper-Limb and Lower-Limb Joint Scores

Global JROM (% normal range of motion \[ROM\]) is average of 11 ratios multiplied by 100. Ratios are Left/Right means of passive ROM in Shoulder (Flexion \[flex\]/Extension \[ext\], Abduction, Internal/External Rotation), Elbow (flex/ext), Wrist (flex/ext), Index Finger (flex/ext \[Combined Metacarpophalangeal joint, Proximal interphalangeal joint, Distal interphalangeal joint motion\]), Hip (flex/ext, Abduction, Internal/External Rotation), Knee(flex/ext) \& Ankle (Dorsiflexion) divided by normal range (reference: American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons and American Medical Association). For reported values of upper limb (UL) \& lower limb (LL) scores, UL score is average of 3 joint scores in UL (shoulder-elbow-wrist) \& LL score is average of 3 joint scores in LL (hip-knee-ankle). Joint motion (in degrees) was averaged across both sides, divided by normal value \& multiplied by 100 to yield a percent score. Score \>100% occurs when measured joint motion exceeds normal reference values.

SecondaryQuality of Life, as Measured by Hunter-Syndrome Functional Outcome in Clinical Understanding Scale (HS-FOCUS)

The participant's QoL was assessed using the HS-FOCUS (shortened version) questionnaire. The HS-FOCUS (shortened version) questionnaire has 5 function domains (walking/standing, grip/reach, schooling/work, activities, and breathing). The scale of the 5 function domains ranges from 0 to 3, with a 3-score denoting highest disability: 0: with no difficulty;1: with some difficulty; 2: with much difficulty; 3: unable to do; Missing: Does not apply. The response option "Does not apply" is treated as "missing" with no score, the same as if the item had not been completed in the questionnaire. Higher scores indicate worse functional outcomes/greater disability.

SecondaryImpact of Illness on Ability to Function in Daily Life, as Measured by Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ Parent Report)

Impact on ability to function in daily life was measured by the CHAQ (Parent Report). The CHAQ includes 30 items measured on a scale of 0 to 3: 0=without any difficulty; 1=with some difficulty; 2=with much difficulty; 3=Unable to do; Missing: Does not apply. It evaluates functional abilities across 8 domains (dressing, hygiene, arising, eating, walking, reach, grip and activities). The result is referred as Disability Index. The highest scoring item in each category determines the score for that category with higher scores indicating worse functioning/higher disability. The Discomfort Index and Health Status Index are measured on separate 15 cm scales. The distance from the left end of the scale to the respondent's mark is measured and multiplied by 0.2 to calculate the score (range 0-3). Discomfort and Health Status Index scores were rescaled to 0-100 scales. Higher scores indicate greater discomfort/worse health status.

SecondaryAdaptive Behavior, as Measured by the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales (VABS II)

Adaptive behavior was assessed using parent/caregiver report on the VABS-II, a standardized norm-referenced tool to evaluate adaptive behavior for ages 0-90.VABS-II has 1 composite score(Adaptive Behavior Composite \[ABC\]), reflecting overall adaptive ability.ABC comprises 4 domain scores in participants \<7years old(Communication,Daily Living Skills,Socialization,\& Motor Skills)\& 3 domain scores in participants ≥7years of age(Communication,Daily Living Skills,\& Socialization).ABC standard score is derived from domain standard scores per VABS-II manual(not a simple sum/average of the reported standard scores).Domain scores are standard scores derived from combination of 11 subdomain scores according to VABS-II scoring rules/manual.Scale for ABC \& domain standard scores ranges between 20 \& 160.ABC \& domain scores have a normative mean=100,with SD=15 \& subdomain scores are normed with a mean=15 \& SD=3.Higher scores indicate better,while lower scores indicate worse adaptive functioning.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 2, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
