Study of Recombinant Human N-acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (rhASB) in Patients With MPS VI

December 18, 2009 updated by: BioMarin Pharmaceutical
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ability of rhASB versus placebo to enhance endurance in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis VI (MPS VI), as evidenced by an increase in the number of meters walked in the 12 minute walk test at Week 24 compared with baseline.
