Can a new enzyme therapy tame MPS II over time?
NCT ID NCT03708965
First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests the long-term safety and effects of JR-141, an enzyme replacement therapy, in people with mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II), a rare genetic disorder. Participants who completed an earlier JR-141 trial receive the drug again by IV infusion. Researchers track side effects and measure markers like urinary and blood sugar levels, liver and spleen size, and heart function to see if the treatment keeps working.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- JR-141 (also known as pabinafusp alfa), an enzyme replacement therapy given by IV infusion
- What this could lead to
- If JR-141 proves safe and effective over the long term, it could offer a lasting treatment option for MPS II, potentially slowing or easing the disease's effects.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, open-label extension study, so it may not detect rare side effects or prove long-term benefit. The drug may also not work equally well in all patients.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients who will have completed clinical trial JR-141-BR21. * Capable of providing written consent by himself, unless the patient is under the age of 18 years at the time of informed consent process, or it is not possible to obtain consent from the patient himself due to his intellectual disabilities associated with MPS II. * In the case of a patient who is under the age of 18 years or from whom it is not possible to obtain consent due to his intellectual disabilities associated with MSP II, he may be included if written consent can be provided by legal representative; however written consent should be obtained from the patient himself too, wherever possible. Exclusion Criteria: * Refusal to sign the informed consent form. * Unable to perform the study procedures, except for neurocognitive testing. * Previous engrafted BMT/HSCT. * Judged by the investigator or subinvestigator as being unable to undergo lumbar puncture, including those who have difficulties in taking a position for lumber puncture due to joint contracture or those who are likely to experience difficulty breathing during the lumbar puncture process. * Judged by the investigator or subinvestigator to be ineligible to participate in the study due to a history of a serious drug allergy or sensitivity. * Otherwise judged by the investigator or subinvestigator to be ineligible to participate in the study out of consideration for the subject safety.
