Can a One-Time gene therapy change the future of MPS II?
NCT ID NCT04597385
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows people who previously received RGX-121, a gene therapy designed to deliver a working copy of the IDS gene to the brain, as a treatment for Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II). The goal is to see how safe the therapy is over the long term and whether it helps with cognitive, motor, and behavioral development. Participants are observed without receiving any new treatment, and their health and development are tracked over time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- RGX-121 gene therapy (delivers a functional copy of the IDS gene to the central nervous system)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a one-time gene therapy provides lasting benefits for people with MPS II, potentially slowing or preventing developmental decline.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, observational follow-up study, not a new treatment test. It cannot prove the therapy works, and long-term safety or effectiveness may still be uncertain.
