Abstract
We report on a 6 year old boy with severe MPS II undergoing immune modulation therapy due to high IgG antibody titers to IV idursulfase and no significant decline in urinary GAG levels since initiating enzyme replacement therapy. He has complete deficiency of iduronate-2-sulfatase activity due to a submicroscopic deletion of the X chromosome involving the entire I2S gene but not including in the fragile X locus. At 19 months of age, IV idursulfase therapy at the recommended dose of 0.5 mg/kg/week was initiated and then increased to 1.0 mg/kg/week after no observed clinical improvement and no decline in urine GAG level. After one year of ERT at the increased dose, he had no significant decline in urinary GAG excretion and increase of anti-idursulfase IgG antibody titers to 102,000 with complete neutralizing antibodies. In light of the evidence of lack of efficacy of idursulfase therapy, the patient was started on an immune modulation regimen consisting of ofatumumab, bortezomib, methotrexate and IVIG for a 12 week period. Only a slight decrease in IgG titers and urine GAG levels was observed, leading to increased intensity of bortezomib administration and addition of dexamethasone to the regimen, while continuing with the current schedule ofatumumab, IVIG and methotrexate. Over 18 month period of immune modulation therapy, we observed a significant reduction in anti-idursulfase IgG titers and a moderate reduction in urine GAG levels compared to baseline. Modest clinical improvements were observed. Our experience suggests that future MPS II patients with a complete gene deletion may be likely to develop persistent anti-idursulfase antibody titers and may benefit from immune modulation therapy prior to the development of high titer levels.
