• Lysosomal enzyme deficiency in mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) I results in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) accumulation leading to pain and limited physical function. Disease‐modifying treatments for MPS I, enzyme replacement, and hematopoietic stem cell therapy (HSCT), do not completely resolve MPS I symptoms, particularly skeletal manifestations. The GAG reduction, anti‐inflammatory, analgesic, and tissue remodeling properties of pentosan polysulfate sodium (PPS) may provide disease‐modifying treatment for musculoskeletal symptoms and joint inflammation in MPS I following ERT and/or HSCT. The safety and efficacy of PPS were evaluated in four subjects with MPS I aged 14–19 years, previously treated with ERT and/or HSCT. Subjects received doses of 0.75 mg/kg or 1.5 mg/kg PPS via subcutaneous injections weekly for 12 weeks, then every 2 weeks for up to 72 weeks. PPS was well tolerated at both doses with no serious adverse events. MPS I GAG fragment (UA‐HNAc [1S]) levels decreased at 73 weeks. Cartilage degradation biomarkers serum C‐telopeptide of crosslinked collagen (CTX) type I (CTX‐I) and type II (CTX‐II) and urine CTX‐II decreased in all subjects through 73 weeks. PROMIS scores for pain interference, pain behavior, and fatigue decreased in all subjects through 73 weeks. Physical function, measured by walking distance and dominant hand function, improved at 49 and 73 weeks. Decreased GAG fragments and cartilage degradation biomarkers, and positive PROMIS outcomes support continued study of PPS as a potential disease‐modifying treatment for MPS I with improved pain and function outcomes.
