Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for MPS II, a disease that causes problems with the nervous system and organs. The trial will compare the new drug to the current standard of care to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with Hunter Syndrome (MPS II). Eligible participants include those diagnosed with MPS II, either treatment-naïve or on stable enzyme therapy. They must agree to use effective contraception and sign consent forms. There are specific age-related cognitive criteria for two separate cohorts: Cohort A includes children aged 36-71 months with certain developmental scores, while Cohort B includes individuals aged 6 years or older with an IQ of 70 or higher.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The STARLIGHT Phase III trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of a drug called JR-141 compared to Idursulfase in treating MPS II. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either JR-141 alone, JR-141 combined with Idursulfase, or only Idursulfase in a blinded manner where assessors do not know which treatment each participant receives.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the specific side effects of JR-141 are not listed here, similar treatments often cause reactions at injection sites, allergic responses, headaches, fever and chills. Side effects can vary from person to person based on individual health conditions.

Do we have a record of prior research on JR-141?

"JR-141 was first studied a decade ago at the Legacy Emanuel Hospital. In the 2010s, there have been 10 completed clinical trials in total. Right now, 8 different medical studies are still recruiting patients; many of these trials are based in Chicago, Illinois."

Answered by AI

Is this a new or existing type of clinical research?

"There are 8 ongoing clinical trials for JR-141 across the globe, with the first study having taken place in 2010. 25 patients completed Phase 1 & 2 of the drug approval process that year, and 10 more trials have been carried out since then."
