Can a weekly infusion slow the toll of a rare genetic disease?
NCT ID NCT04348136
First seen Sep 03, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether JR-141, an enzyme replacement therapy given as a weekly IV infusion, can safely manage mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) over the long term. Researchers will follow about 27 people who completed an earlier JR-141 study, tracking side effects, developmental progress, and markers like blood and urine sugar levels. The goal is to see if continued treatment keeps helping without new safety concerns.
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, an enzyme replacement therapy given by IV infusion weekly
- What this could lead to
- If it works, JR-141 could offer a long-term treatment option to slow or manage the effects of MPS II, potentially improving quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study with a small group, so results may not apply broadly. Long-term safety and effectiveness are still unproven, and side effects or lack of benefit remain possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. A patient who participated in the preceding Study JR-141-301 and completed the Week 52 visit, and has no safety concerns to enter this study in the opinion of the investigator or subinvestigator. 2. A patient capable of providing written informed consent in person (However, this is not required for patients aged younger than 20 years at the time of consent or patients with intellectual disability associated with MPS II whose willingness cannot be verified.) 3. For patients aged younger than 20 years at the time of consent or patients with intellectual disability associated with MPS II whose willingness cannot be verified, written consent must be obtained from the legally acceptable representative. (Wherever possible, written consent of the patient should be obtained.) 4. Male patient whose partner is of child-bearing potential and agrees to use a medically accepted, highly effective method of contraception. Exclusion Criteria: 1. A patient who used any concomitant medication or therapy that could affect study assessments in the opinion of the investigator or subinvestigator. 2. A patient with a history of serious drug allergy or hypersensitivity that precludes participation in this study in the opinion of the investigator or subinvestigator. 3. A patient judged to be ineligible by the investigator or subinvestigator for other reasons.
