What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if one infusion of rAAV9-CMV-hNAGLUop can treat patients with Sanfilippo syndrome (MPS III) 6 months or older. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Is the treatment safe?

* Is there a change in enzyme activities,?

* Is there a change in natural history trajectory of motor, language, feeding, adaptive and cognitive function?

Participants will be asked to come to Washington University St. Louis and stay in the hospital overnight following the infusion. Partcipant and caregiver(s) will be asked to stay near the hospital for the first month and come back periodically for clinic visits.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for patients aged 6 months or older diagnosed with Sanfilippo syndrome (MPS IIIB). Participants must be able to travel to Washington University in St. Louis and stay nearby for a month after treatment. Other specific medical exclusions may apply.

Inclusion Criteria

I am older than 6 months.
Clinical history of developmental delays defined as a score >1 standard deviation below the mean in at least one domain of neuropsychological function (language, memory, non-verbal ability), OR documented historical evidence of a decline of >1 standard deviation on sequential testing, OR a score between 0.75 and 1 standard deviation below the mean with cognitive defect affecting daily performance
I have MPS IIIB with two disease-causing NAGLU gene changes confirmed by lab testing.
