Nutrition check for kids with MPS
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at the nutrition of children with mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) to better understand their dietary needs and health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed diagnosis of MPS (any type), proven by a genetic or enzyme test.
- You must be between 1 and 18 years old.
- Your condition must be stable right now (not in a crisis).
- Your parent or guardian must agree to the study, and you if you are old enough.
- You cannot have other long-term health issues that affect growth or nutrition, like untreated hormone problems or severe heart failure not caused by MPS.
- You must not have been in the hospital or had a sudden illness in the last 2 weeks, and you cannot have taken special nutritional supplements or followed a special diet in the last 3 months.

This study tests whether a special nutrition supplement can help young children (ages 1–5) who are not growing as expected. Researchers will work with Children International centers in the study area to see if the supplement helps children grow taller and healthier.
This study follows people with MPS, a rare genetic condition, to learn more about the disease over time. If you have a confirmed MPS diagnosis, you may be able to join.
This trial tests a special nutrition program for children with cerebral palsy and autism spectrum disorder. It aims to see if the program improves health and development.
This study follows people with MPS IIIC (Sanfilippo syndrome type C) over time to understand how the disease changes. It does not test a new treatment, but helps researchers learn more about the condition, which could lead to better care in the future.
