About this trial

This is a global, open-label, Phase I/II, interventional trial in participants younger than 6 years of age with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB (MPS IIIB), designed to assess the safety and tolerability of JR-446, determine its pharmacodynamic effects, and explore its potential to demonstrate early clinical effects on disease-relevant outcomes.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients with confirmed MPS IIIB with a phenotype of MPS IIIB that is not classified as slowly progressive (i.e., not attenuated).

A chronological age <6 years.

Ability to complete and achieve a Standard score ≥55, using either Bailey Scale of Infant Development-4 (BSID-4) Cognitive domain or Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children-II (KABC-II) Non-Verbal Index, whichever tool is most appropriate for the participant's chronological age.

Disqualifiers

Contraindication for lumbar puncture or MRI.

A participant who has a medical condition or extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the principal investigator or sub-investigator, might compromise the participant's ability to comply with protocol requirements, the participant's well-being or safety, or the interpretability of the participant's clinical data.

A participant who has received any other investigational drug product (including but not limited to, tralesinidase alfa enzyme replacement therapy [TA-ERT], Genistein, KINERET [anakinra], ambroxol, miglustat) within 4 months (or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer) before the time of providing informed consent.

A participant who has received gene therapy treatment or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) with successful engraftment.
