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.

Other Research
Hunter Syndrome, or Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II), is treated primarily through Enzyme Replacement Therapy (ERT) and Gene Therapy. ERT involves infusing a synthetic version of the deficient enzyme iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S) to help break down glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and reduce their harmful accumulation in tissues.
Gene Therapy, on the other hand, introduces a functional I2S gene into the patient's cells, potentially enabling the body to produce the enzyme naturally. These treatments are vital as they address the underlying enzyme deficiency, thereby alleviating symptoms, slowing disease progression, and significantly improving the quality of life for patients.

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- I have had a successful stem cell transplant.I have a genetic mutation linked to developmental delays or seizures.For children 36-42 months old, their measured development score must be 85 or less. For children 43-71 months old, either their development quotient should be between 20 to 85, or their composite standard score on a specific test should be 85 or less. Children 30-35 months old must be assessed as having a severe condition by an Expert Board.I am 6 or older with an IQ of 70 or more and fit the specific test criteria for Cohort B.I have had brain surgery or a shunt placed in the last 30 days, or my shunt isn't working well.I have received gene therapy treatment before.I have a documented loss of sulfatase activity, not including IDS.I cannot have a lumbar puncture procedure.I may have an infection or a higher risk of bleeding due to my health condition or treatments.I have not started treatment or have been on stable enzyme therapy for over 12 weeks.I have been diagnosed with MPS II.
Research Study Groups:
This trial has the following groups:- Group 1: Rescue arm
- Group 2: JR-141 2.0 mg/kg/week
