A Global Phase III multicenter, randomized, assessor-blinded, active-controlled designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of study drug for the treatment of the MPS II.

Writteninformed assent should be obtained from the patient, wherever possible.

  • Patients or patients whose partners are of child-bearing potential agree to use amedically accepted, highly effective method of contraception being use of condomsfrom the time of informed consent.

<Cohort A>

  • Patients aged 36-42 months old at the time of ICF signing: patients must have astandard score measured by the BSID-III of 85 or less at screening.

  • Patients aged 43-71 months old at the time of ICF signing: patients must EITHER have (1) A DQ measured by BSID-III of 20 to 85 at screening OR (2) A composite standardscore on NVI measured by KABC-II of 85 or less at screening (only who can performKABC-II)

  • Patients aged 30-35 months old at the time of randomization and who are judged ashaving the severe phenotype by the Expert Board.

<Cohort B>

  • Patients 6 years of age or older at the time of ICF signing and whose IQ are 70 andhigher.

  • Enrollment of subjects in Cohort B is contingent on the availability in that countryof a validated country-specific version of the test (either WISC-V, WAIS-IV, orT.O.V.A.).

  • A patient who has documented mutation of other genes, including loci adjacent to theIDS gene that are known to be associated with developmental delay, seizures, orother significant CNS disorders.

  • A patient who has documented loss of activity of sulfatases other than IDS.

  • A patient who has had a ventriculoperitoneal shunt placed or any other brainsurgery, or has a clinically significant ventriculoperitoneal shunt malfunctionwithin 30 days of screening.
