First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 study is testing the long-term safety and effectiveness of AVTX-803, a form of L-fucose, in people with leukocyte adhesion deficiency type II (LAD II), a rare genetic disorder that weakens the immune system. Only 2 participants who completed a previous study are enrolled. Researchers will monitor side effects and measure immune cell markers and overall health 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

AVTX-803 (L-fucose)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that long-term L-fucose treatment is safe and helps manage LAD II symptoms.

What could go wrong

This is a very small study (only 2 participants) with no placebo group, so results may not apply to all patients. Long-term risks are still unknown.
