AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Confirmed diagnosis of MPSIIIB by both of the following two methods:
* No detectable or significantly reduced NAGLU enzyme activity by plasma.
* Genomic DNA analysis demonstrating homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the NAGLU gene
* Age: From Birth to 2 years or children older than 2 years with a minimum cognitive Development Quotient (DQ) of 60 or above (calculated by Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development - Third Edition)
Exclusion Criteria:
* Inability to participate in the clinical evaluation as determined by Principal Investigator
* Identification of two nonsense or null variants on genetic testing of the NAGLU gene
* Has evidence of an attenuated phenotype of MPS IIIB
* Presence of a concomitant medical condition that precludes lumbar puncture or use of anesthetics
* Active viral infection based on clinical observations as infections by Adenoviruses, Epstein-Barr Virus, Cytomegalovirus, Respiratory Syncytial Virus
* Concomitant illness or requirement for chronic drug treatment that in the opinion of the PI creates unnecessary risks for gene transfer , or precludes the child from participating in the protocol assessments and follow up as autoimmune diseases requiring immunosuppression, such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura
* Subjects with total anti-AAV9 antibody titers ≥ 1:100 as determined by ELISA binding immunoassay
* Subjects with a positive response for the ELISPOT for T-cell…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Change from baseline in the Age Equivalent Developmental score (calculated by the Mullen Scales of Early Learning or the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children Second Edition, based on developmental age) compared with Natural History Study data
Timeframe: 24 months
2
Product safety as defined by the incidence, type and severity of treatment-related adverse events and serious adverse events
