Mucopolysaccharidosis Market

The mucopolysaccharidosis market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Mucopolysaccharidosis Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) refers to a group of rare genetic disorders characterized by the accumulation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) within cells, leading to progressive damage in various tissues and organs. These disorders are caused by deficiencies in enzymes responsible for breaking down GAGs, resulting in their abnormal buildup. Symptoms of MPS can vary widely depending on the specific subtype but often include skeletal abnormalities, joint stiffness, organ enlargement, and impaired connective tissue function. Additionally, individuals suffering from MPS may experience developmental delays, cognitive impairment, and distinctive facial features. Diagnosing MPS involves a combination of clinical evaluations, biochemical testing, and genetic analysis. Clinical assessments may include physical examinations, imaging studies, and tests to measure enzyme activity and GAG levels. In addition to this, the healthcare providers may perform genetic testing to confirm the specific subtype of MPS and identify the responsible genetic mutation.

The increasing prevalence of genetic variations, which cause deficiencies in enzymes responsible for breaking down and recycling GAGs, is primarily driving the mucopolysaccharidosis market. In addition to this, the inflating utilization of effective therapeutic interventions, including substrate reduction therapies and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to manage the ailment is also creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of supportive care measures, such as physical and occupational therapies, is further bolstering the market growth. These therapies aid in addressing musculoskeletal issues, enhancing mobility, and improving overall functional abilities. Apart from this, the rising usage of novel treatment modalities like chaperone therapy, that is designed to stabilize and enhance the activity of mutated enzymes, is acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the escalating application of enzyme replacement therapies, which involve intravenous infusions of the missing or deficient enzyme to alleviate symptoms of the condition and improve the quality of life for individuals suffering from MPS, is also augmenting the market growth. Furthermore, the emerging popularity of gene therapy, involving the introduction of functional genetic material to rectify or replace mutated genes responsible for the disorder, is expected to drive the mucopolysaccharidosis market during the forecast period.

Recent Developments:

• In February 2024, Denali Therapeutics Inc. released new data presentations that illustrate the broad potential of its BBB-crossing enzyme replacement medicines in development for the management of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). New research showed that tividenofusp alfa (DNL310) treatment for 104 weeks improved and stabilized clinical outcomes in MPS II. The single-arm, open-label Phase 1/2 study also showed a robust and sustained reduction in neurofilament light chain (NfL) and sustained normalization of CSF heparan sulfate.
• In February 2024, REGENXBIO Inc. reported topline results from the Phase I/II/III CAMPSIITE trial of RGX-121 for the treatment of patients up to 5 years old with MPS II, also known as Hunter syndrome, indicating that the pivotal phase of the trial met its primary endpoint with statistical significance.
• In October 2023, JCR Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. announced that it had dosed the first patient in Phase I/II clinical trial for mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (Sanfilippo syndrome type A) with JR-441, a blood-brain barrier (BBB) penetrating form of heparan N-sulfatase developed using JCR's proprietary J-Brain Cargo BBB-penetrating technology.
• In September 2023, JCR Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. reported major findings from the 52-week interim data of its global phase I/II research with JR-171 (lepunafusp alfa) in patients with MPS I. JR-171 is a BBB-penetrating recombinant α-L-iduronidase produced with JCR's patented J-Brain Cargo technology.

Key Highlights:

• The prevalence of all kinds of mucopolysaccharidosis is estimated to be one per 25,000 births.
• The incidence of MPS in the United States was determined to be 0.98 per 100,000 live births.
• The highest birth prevalence was observed for MPS II, which accounts for 55% of all MPS.
• In the United States, the birth rates for MPS IV, VI, and VII were 0.14, 0.04, and 0.027 per 100,000 live births, respectively.

Drugs:

ELAPRASE (idursulfase) is a medication that is prescribed to patients with Hunter syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis II, MPS II). It is a pure form of the I2S enzyme developed through recombinant DNA technology in a human cell line. The medicine has been found to improve walking capacity in individuals aged five and above.

DNL310 is an experimental iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) fusion protein designed to cure both the cognitive and physical symptoms of MPS II with a single weekly IV infusion. The medicine is designed to penetrate the BBB via receptor-mediated transcytosis into the brain, allowing for widespread transport of IDS into cells and tissues throughout the body, to treat disease symptoms.

RGX-121 is an investigational, one-time gene treatment that uses the NAV AAV9 vector to deliver IDS, which encodes the iduronate-2-sulfatase enzyme (I2S). The RGX-121-produced protein is structurally identical to normal I2S. RGX-121 is delivered directly to the central nervous system (CNS) via intracisternal or intracerebroventricular routes.
