RGX-121 is a gene therapy which is intended to deliver a functional copy of the iduronate-2-sulfatase gene (IDS) to the central nervous system. This study is a safety, efficacy, and pharmacodynamic dose ranging study to determine whether RGX-121 is safe, effective and well-tolerated by patients with MPS II (Hunter Syndrome)
MPS II (Hunter Syndrome) is a rare X-linked recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the iduronate-2-sulfatase gene (IDS). Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant idursulfase (ELAPRASE®) is the only approved product for the treatment of Hunter syndrome; however, ERT as currently administered does not cross the blood brain barrier and is therefore unable to address the unmet need in MPS II patients with central nervous system (CNS) (neurodevelopment and behavior) involvement. RGX-121 is designed to deliver a functional gene to cells in the CNS. Iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S) may then be secreted by transduced cells, which may then cross-correct non-transduced cells by taking up the functional enzyme. This is a Phase III, open-label, confirmatory study investigating the efficacy, safety, and pharmacodynamics of RGX-121 treatment of patients with neuronopathic mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) aged ≥ 4 months to less than 5 years. A one time dose of RGX-121 will be studied in 2 male pediatric participants with neuronopathic MPS II, as supplemented in the analysis with 13 participants who were separately analyzed in the pivotal RGX-121-101 Part 2 study.

RECRUITINGEfficacy of RGX-121 on Neurodevelopmental Function (as measured by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd Edition)
To evaluate the effect of RGX-121 on the neurodevelopmental function as measured by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd Edition (BSID-III).
Time frame: Month 24
Efficacy of RGX-121 on Neurodevelopmental Function (as measured by Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, 2nd Edition)
To evaluate the effect of RGX-121 on the neurodevelopmental function as measured by the Kaufman Assessment for Children, 2nd edition (KABC-II). The KABC-II is only given if the participant achieved the max ceiling on the BSID-III Cognitive scale at two consecutive administrations.
Time frame: Month 24
Long-term Safety of RGX-121
To evaluate the safety of RGX-121 for up to five years including serious and adverse events as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) (Version 5.0)
Time frame: Year 5
RGX-121 Change in CSF Biomarkers (as measured by D2S6)
To assess the effect of RGX-121 on Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) levels in CSF as measured by D2S6.
Time frame: Week 16, Week 52, Month 24
RGX-121 Effect on Daily Living Skills
Change from baseline on daily living skills as measured by the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, 2nd Edition (VABS-II), Comprehensive Interview Form. The Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale II (VABS-II) is a standardized paediatric functional assessment tool. The VABS-II offers a way to measure personal and social self-sufficiency in real-life situations and to observe how these cognitive abilities impact the autonomy management process when put into practice. The VABS-II consists in a semi-structured interview with the parents. Higher scores mean a better outcome.
