What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial examines the safety and effectiveness of ABO-102, a gene therapy for Sanfilippo Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder affecting the brain and body. Participants must have previously participated in an earlier trial with ABO-102. The study divides participants into two groups: those who can visit the clinic regularly and those with fewer visits, possibly conducted from home. The trial aims to better understand the treatment's long-term effects. As a Phase 3 trial, it represents the final step before potential FDA approval, offering participants a chance to contribute to a treatment nearing widespread availability.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It is best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

Is there any evidence suggesting that ABO-102 is likely to be safe for humans?

Research has shown that UX111 (also known as ABO-102) is generally safe for people. Studies with children who have Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIA (MPS IIIA) indicate that the treatment is well-tolerated. Reports have noted lower levels of a harmful substance in the spinal fluid, called CSF HS, which is a positive sign. Additionally, improvements in thinking and memory have been observed, further supporting the treatment's safety. While this gene therapy is still under review, positive results from previous studies suggest it could be a safe option for those considering joining a clinical trial.12345

Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?

Most treatments for Sanfilippo Syndrome focus on managing symptoms rather than addressing the root cause. Unlike these options, ABO-102 is a gene therapy treatment that targets the genetic defect responsible for the condition. By delivering a functional copy of the missing or faulty gene directly to the brain and central nervous system, ABO-102 aims to correct the underlying genetic issue. This approach has the potential to significantly slow or halt the progression of the disease, which is why researchers are optimistic about its impact.

What evidence suggests that ABO-102 might be an effective treatment for MPS IIIA?

Research has shown that UX111 (formerly known as ABO-102) could be a promising treatment for Sanfilippo syndrome (MPS IIIA). This gene therapy significantly reduces heparan sulfate, a harmful substance that accumulates in the brain and causes damage in individuals with MPS IIIA. Studies also indicate that this treatment can quickly lower heparan sulfate levels in the fluid around the brain and spine and maintain these reduced levels over time. This suggests that UX111 could effectively manage the disease by addressing one of its main causes. The aim is for this one-time therapy to treat, and possibly cure, MPS IIIA.

In this trial, participants are divided into two cohorts. Cohort A includes those who can comply with onsite visits and assessments, with select participants potentially receiving adjuvant IM therapy. Cohort B includes those who cannot participate in Cohort A and will undergo a reduced number of assessments, conducted either onsite or at home via telehealth and home healthcare visits.23678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for patients with MPS IIIA who have already received ABO-102 in a previous study. Their parents or guardians must consent and be able to follow the study's procedures and schedule. Those currently in another trial or with conditions that interfere with this study can't participate.

Inclusion Criteria

You have participated in a previous study where you were given ABO-102.
Parent(s)/legal guardian(s) of participant willing and able to complete the informed consent process and comply with study procedures and visit schedule.

Exclusion Criteria

Planned or current participation in another clinical trial that may confound the safety and efficacy evaluation of ABO-102 during this study
Any other situation or medical condition that precludes the participant from undergoing procedures required in this study.

Timeline for a Trial Participant

Screening
