Study summary

This is an open-label, phase I/II study of intra-cerebral administration of adenovirus-associated viral vector containing the human NAGLU cDNA to children suffering from Sanfilippo type B syndrome.

Read the detailed description

This is an open-label, phase I/II study of intra-cerebral administration of adenovirus-associated viral vector containing the human NAGLU cDNA to children suffering from Sanfilippo type B syndrome.

Four patients, 18 months up to the 5th birthday, have been included.

The inclusion period will be 8 to 12 months. The duration of follow-up for each patient is 1 year post-surgery. The duration of the first extension phase is 18 months. The duration of the second extension phase is 36 months. Therefore, the maximum time of the follow-up will be 66 months

Inclusion criteria

  • Age: 18 months up to 60 months (5th birthday);
  • Onset of clinical manifestations related to mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIB (MPSIIIB);
  • NAGLU activity in peripheral blood cell and/or cultured fibroblast extracts of less than 10% of controls;
  • Patient affiliated to, or covered by a French social security regimen, or European patients with European Health Insurance Card;
  • Family understanding the procedure and the informed consent;
  • Signed informed consent by both parents or legal representative;
  • Vital laboratory parameters within normal range.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of brain atrophy on baseline MRI judged on a cortico-dural distance of more than 0.6 cm;
  • Any condition that would contraindicate general anesthesia;
  • Any other permanent medical condition not related to MPSIIIB that could contraindicate the study participation;
  • No independent walking (ability to walk without help);
  • Any medication aiming at modifying the natural course of MPSIIIB given during the 6 months before vector injection (sleep and mood regulators are accepted);
  • Any condition that would contraindicate treatment with Modigraf®, Cellcept® and prednisolone (Solupred® and Solumedrol®).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants With Treatment-Related (Serious) Adverse Events as assessed by continuous evaluation of change from baseline

    Multiple measurements will be aggregated to derive the number of participants with Abnormal Laboratory Values and/or Adverse Events that are related to Treatment.

    Time frame: Baseline until end of study (Month 66)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants with presence of brain atrophy, white matter lesions and other lesions as assessed by cerebral MRI

    MRIs at Baseline, Month 3, Month 12, Month 30, Month 48 and last visit Month 66. Cerebral MRI will be collected for safety assessment to retrospectively evaluate for efficacy at Baseline, D0, Month 3, Month12, Month 30 and last visit Month 66.

    Time frame: Baseline until end of study (Month 66)

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Dec 2, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
