Summary

This study tested an experimental enzyme therapy called METAZYM in one child with late infantile metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) who had already received a stem cell transplant. The goal was to see if the enzyme could slow nerve damage and improve function. The child received regular infusions of the drug, and researchers monitored nerve health, motor skills, and safety over time.
