Inclusion criteria

  • Must have completed 48 weeks in Part 2 of Study 250-201 and enter 250-202 within 8 weeks of study completion
  • Written 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
  • Males and females who are of reproductive age should practice true abstinence, defined as no sexual activity, during the study and for 6 months after the study has been completed (or withdrawal from the study). If sexually active and not practicing true abstinence, males and females of reproductive age must use a highly effective method of while participating in the study.
  • If female with , must have a negative pregnancy test at the Screening visit and be willing to have additional pregnancy tests during the study.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has both (1) a cognitive AEq score ≤ 18 months, and (2) a DQ score ≤ 20
  • Would not benefit from enrolling in the study in the opinion of the investigator
  • Has received stem cell, gene therapy or ERT (other than AX 250) for MPS IIIB
  • Has for neurosurgery (eg, congenital heart disease, severe respiratory impairment, or clotting abnormalities)
  • 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 medication other than AX 250 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
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    AX 250

    All subjects will receive AX 250 at the MTTD established in 250-201, 300mg administered weekly by ICV infusion that will continue for up to 240 weeks.

    Drug: AX 250

Interventions

  • DrugAX 250

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

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Evaluate the Long-term safety and tolerability of AX 250 administered in up to 33 subjects with MPS IIIB by assessing the number of participants with abnormal clinical laboratory values and/or Adverse Events related to the treatment

    Time frame: Entire study period, up to 240 weeks

  2. Evaluating the impact of long-term AX 250 treatment on cognitive function in up to 33 patients with MPS IIIB as assessed by developmental quotient (DQ)

    Time frame: Entire study period, up to 240 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Evaluate the impact of long-term AX 250 treatment on cognitive function in up to 33 patients with MPS IIIB as assessed by age equivalent score (AEq)

    Age equivalent score is derived from neurocognitive tests (Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 3rd edition OR Kaufman Assessment battery for Children, 2nd edition)

    Time frame: Entire study period, up to 240 weeks

  2. Characterize immunogenicity as measured by IgE levels, formation of anti-AX 250, IGF1 and IGF2 antibodies in Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum.

    Time frame: Entire study period, up to 240 weeks

  3. Evaluate the impact of long-term AX 250 treatment on Heparan sulfate (HS) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), serum and urine.

    Time frame: Entire study period, up to 240 weeks

  4. Evaluate the impact of long-term AX 250 treatment on brain structure assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    Time frame: Entire study period, up to 240 weeks

  5. Evaluate the impact of long-term AX 250 treatment on adaptive function derived from the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 2nd edition (VABS-II)

    VABS-II is a measure of adaptive behavior and can be used to assess the level of subjects' functioning at various ages. Scale ranges from 0-4 (0 meaning never performs the behavior, and 4 meaning almost always performs the behavior independently)

    Time frame: Entire study period, up to 240 weeks
