Control

3 dose cohorts were planned. Within each dose cohort, patients will be randomized to 1 of 2 treatment options: treatment with study drug or no treatment with 4 treated patients per dose group and a total of 4 untreated patients (1-2 untreated patients will be assigned in each dose cohort). They will not undergo surgical placement of an Intrathecal Drug Delivery Device (IDDD), and will not receive Idursulfase-IT.

DRUG

Idursulfase IT (1 mg)

The original design of the study was to test the dose levels of 10, 30 and 100 mg. This was based on a calculation of a minimally effective dose around 10 mg, with subsequent dose levels being chosen as increasing half-log steps. During the conduct of the study; however, it became clear that the 10 mg dose elicited a strong Pharmacodynamic response, as measured by a dramatic and sustained drop in the CSF GAG levels. This indicated the need to explore a lower level as a minimally effective dose level, leading to the introduction of the 1 mg group. Enrollment of patients in this dose cohort will commence after the last patient has been enrolled in 30 mg dose cohort. 4 patients will be undergo surgical placement of an IDDD and receive 1 mg idursulfase-IT as an IT injection via an IDDD once per month (ie, every 28 days) for 6 month.

DRUG

Idursulfase IT (10 mg)

Patients will be enrolled in 10 mg dose cohort and 30 mg dose cohort in a sequential, escalating fashion. 4 patients will undergo surgical placement of an IDDD and receive 10 mg idursulfase-IT as an intrathecal (IT) injection via an IDDD once per month (ie, every 28 days) for 6 month.

DRUG

Idursulfase IT (30 mg)

Patients will be enrolled in 10 mg dose cohort and 30 mg dose cohort in a sequential, escalating fashion. 4 patients will undergo surgical placement of an IDDD and receive 30 mg idursulfase-IT as an IT injection via an IDDD once per month (ie, every 28 days) for 6 month.
