Lifeline for hunter syndrome patients: continued access to Brain-Targeting therapy
NCT ID NCT05795361
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This program offers continued treatment with idursulfase-IT (TAK-609), given directly into the spinal fluid, plus standard intravenous Elaprase, for children and adults with Hunter syndrome who have cognitive impairment. It is only open to people who completed earlier studies of this combination. The goal is to maintain any benefits they experienced and keep the disease under control.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- idursulfase-IT (TAK-609) given into the spinal fluid, plus intravenous Elaprase
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this program could provide ongoing disease control and cognitive benefit for people with Hunter syndrome who have cognitive impairment.
- What could go wrong
- This is an open-access program, not a new trial, so it does not test whether the treatment works. Risks include side effects from the spinal injections or the implanted delivery device.
