Inclusion criteria

Individuals eligible to participate in Part 1 of this study must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Has deficient NAGLU enzyme activity at Screening. Blood for NAGLU enzyme activity will be collected and analyzed centrally.

  • Has presented with signs/symptoms consistent with MPS IIIB; for individuals who have not presented with signs/symptoms of disease (eg, siblings of known patients), the determination of eligibility will be at the discretion of the BioMarin medical monitor in conjunction with the site investigator.
  • Written informed consent from parent or legal guardian and assent from subject, if required
  • Has the ability to comply with protocol requirements, in the opinion of the investigator

Individuals eligible to participate in Part 2 of this study must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Participated in and met protocol requirements for transitioning from Study 250-901 or participated in Part 1 of Study 250-201
  • Written informed consent from parent or legal guardian and assent from subject, if required

  • Has contraindications for MRI scans (eg, cardiac pacemaker, metal fragment or chip in the eye, or aneurysm clip in the brain)
  • Has a history of poorly controlled seizure disorder
  • Is prone to complications from intraventricular drug administration, including patients with hydrocephalus or ventricular shunts
  • Has received any investigational medication within 30 days prior to the Baseline visit or is scheduled to receive any investigational drug during the course of the study
  • Has a medical condition or extenuating circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, might compromise the subject's ability to comply with protocol requirements, the subject's well-being or safety, or the interpretability of the subject's clinical data.
  • Is pregnant at any time during the study

Individuals who meet any of the following exclusion criteria are ineligible to participate in Part 2 of this study:

Study arms

  • Experimental
    AX 250

    In Part 1, patients will receive up to 3 escalating doses of AX 250 (30, 100 and 300 mg) via ICV infusion every week until the maximum tolerated tested dose (MTTD) is established. In Part 2, patients will receive weekly doses of AX 250 via ICV infusion that will continue for 48 weeks at the MTTD established in Part 1.

    Drug: AX 250

Interventions

  • DrugAX 250

    Chimeric fusion of recombinant human alpha-N-acetylglucosaminidase and truncated human insulin-like growth factor 2 (rhNAGLU-IGF2)
