  4. Evaluate GAG levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

    Measured: Assessed at study end, up to 124 weeks. Collected at: Each weekly visit as relevant through completion of Part 1 and Part 2

  5. Evaluate GAG levels in plasma

    Measured: Assessed at study end, up to 124 weeks. Collected at: Each weekly visit as relevant through completion of Part 1 and Weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, as relevant in Part 2

  6. Evaluate GAG levels in urine

    Measured: Assessed at study end, up to 124 weeks. Collected at: Each weekly visit as relevant through completion of Part 1 and Weeks 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, as relevant in Part 2

  7. Evaluate the impact of AX 250 treatment on brain structure assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

    Measured: Assessed at study end, up to 124 weeks. Part 1 - Screening and Baseline; Part 2 - Screening, Baseline, Week 24, and Week 48

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AX 250 in people with MPS III B and Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIB, run by Allievex Corporation at 7 sites in 7 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 17 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, Colombia, Germany, Spain, Taiwan and 2 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety Evaluation of weekly infusions of AX 250 (Part 1 & Part 2) - Number of participants with abnormal clinical laboratory values and/or Adverse Events that are related to treatment. (time frame: Entire study period, up to 124 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02754076, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Aug 2020.
