New enzyme therapy aims to reach the brain in MPS II
NCT ID NCT05371613
First seen Sep 09, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing tividenofusp alfa (DNL310), an experimental enzyme replacement therapy, against the standard treatment idursulfase in children and young adults with mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II). The study includes participants with and without brain involvement, aged 2 to 26. The main goal is to see if DNL310 can lower harmful substances in the spinal fluid and improve adaptive behavior.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- tividenofusp alfa (DNL310), an experimental enzyme replacement therapy designed to reach the brain
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a treatment that reaches the brain and better controls MPS II symptoms, especially thinking and behavior problems.
- What could go wrong
- The trial is small and early, so results may not hold up in larger studies. Enzyme therapies can cause infusion reactions, and the brain-penetrating version is still experimental.
