Experimental enzyme treatment tested on single child with devastating brain disease

NCT ID NCT01303146

Summary

This study tested an experimental enzyme replacement therapy for a child with late infantile MLD, a rare and severe brain disease. The child had previously received a stem cell transplant but still needed additional treatment. Researchers gave intravenous enzyme infusions every other week for 18 months to see if it could help preserve nerve function and slow disease progression.
