Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The participant's legal guardian(s) is (are) willing and able to provide written,signed informed consent after the nature of the study has been explained, and priorto any study-related procedures being performed.

  • Is a male ≥ 4 months to < 5 years of age on Day 1.

  • Has a documented diagnosis of MPS II, with a confirmed neuronopathic phenotype.

  • Has a BSID-III Cognitive Composite score at or below -1SD (85) from the normativemean.

  • Has 2 consecutive neurodevelopment assessments that support a decline on MSEL VisualReception, Expressive Language, or Fine Motor, or BSID-III Cognitive, ExpressiveCommunication, or Fine Motor of ≥ 1 SD on serial neurodevelopment testingadministered between 3 to 36 months apart. Evidence for neurodevelopmental declinecan be provided from historical medical records.

  • Has a relative clinically diagnosed with neuronopathic MPS II who has the same IDSvariant(s) as the participant AND the participant, in the opinion of a geneticist,has inherited a neuronopathic form of MPS II. Evidence for support of a relativewith neuronopathic MPS II should be provided through medical record documentation ofneurodevelopmental function at or below -2 SD from the normative mean. If standardscores are unavailable to document SD from the normative mean, a developmentalquotient (AEq/chronological age × 100) of ≤ 60 can be used to document neuronopathicMPS II.

  • Has documented variant(s) in IDS known to result in a neuronopathic phenotype. Theparticipant's neuronopathic phenotype will be confirmed by an independent geneticreview, with documented supporting evidence from previously reported cases of thesame variant(s).

  • Has sufficient auditory and visual capacity, with or without aids, to complete therequired protocol testing, and be compliant with wearing the aid, if applicable, ontesting days.

  • Able to ambulate 100 meters independently without use of assistive devices, if theparticipant is, based on the judgement of the investigator, of a chronological ageat screening at which independent ambulation would typically be expected in a childwith neuronopathic MPS II.

  • Provision of signed and dated informed consent form (ICF) and willingness to complywith all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Has a contraindication for an intracisternal (IC) and intraventricular (IVR)infusion, including any of the following:

  • Review of baseline MRI testing by the team of neuroradiologist/neurosurgeonsparticipating in study shows a contradiction for an IC and IVR infusion.

  • History of prior head/neck surgery, which resulted in a contraindication to both ICand IVR infusion, based on review of available information by the team ofneuroradiologists/neurosurgeons participating in the study.

  • Has any contradiction to computed tomography or general anesthesia.

  • Has any contradiction to MRI or gadolinium.

  • Has renal insufficiency as determined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2, based on creatinine. If the laboratory determines thatcreatinine is less than the lower limit of assay validation or detection, then thelowest limit cutoff value will be used to estimate eGFR.

  • Has previously experienced a clinically significant intracranial bleed that, in theopinion of the investigator and team of neuroradiologists/neurosurgeons, is acontraindication to IC and IVR infusion.

  • Has an elevated intracranial pressure (≥ 30 cm H2O).

  • Has any neurocognitive deficit not attributable to MPS II or diagnosis of aneuropsychiatric condition that may, in the opinion of the investigator, confoundinterpretation of study results.

  • Has any contraindication to lumbar puncture.

  • Has a (cerebral) ventricular shunt that in the opinion of the site neuroradiologist/neurosurgeon and through discussion with the Medical Monitor, may impact theadministration and proper dosing of the participant.

  • Has had prior treatment with AAV-based gene therapy product.

  • Has undergone HSCT.

  • Is receiving idursulfase (ELAPRASE) via IT administration, or a blood brainbarrier-crossing ERT. Participants receiving IT ELAPRASE or a blood brainbarrier-crossing ERT may enroll if they agree to discontinue these therapiesstarting at least 3 months prior to dosing with RGX-121, and for the duration offollow-up.

  • Has received idursulfase (ELAPRASE) IV and experienced a serious hypersensitivityreaction, including anaphylaxis, deemed related to IV idursulfase (ELAPRASE)administration. If the participant has experienced a severe hypersensitivityreaction, they may enroll in the trial if the hypersensitivity has been treated andthe investigator, Medical Monitor, and Sponsor agree that it no longer poses asafety or efficacy risk.

  • Has received any Investigational Product within 30 days of Day 1 or 5 half-livesbefore signing of the ICF, whichever is longer.

  • Has any history of lymphoma or history of another cancer, other than squamous cellor basal cell carcinoma of the skin, that has not been in full remission for atleast 1 year before Screening.

  • Has a history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis B or hepatitis Cvirus (HCV) infection, or positive screening tests for hepatitis B surface antigenor hepatitis B core antibody, or hepatitis C (either hepatitis C antibody or HCVRNA) or HIV antibodies.

  • Has a clinically significant ECG abnormality that, in the opinion of theinvestigator, would compromise the participant's safety.

  • Has a serious or unstable medical or psychological condition that, in the opinion ofthe investigator, would compromise the participant's safety or successfulparticipation in the study or interpretation of study results.

  • Has uncontrolled seizures that in opinion of the investigator would put theparticipant at undue risk.

  • Has uncontrolled hypertension despite medical treatment, defined for children ≤ 17years of age to be systolic blood pressure (SBP) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) > 99th percentile plus 5mmHg based on normative standards for age, sex, and height.

  • Has a platelet count < 100,000 per µL.

  • REGENXBIO staff involved in the planning and/or conduct of the study.

  • Employees of the study site or any other individuals involved with the conduct ofthe study or immediate family members of such individuals.

  • Has any condition that would contraindicate treatment with methylprednisolone,prednisone, tacrolimus, or sirolimus.

  • Has a history of a hypersensitivity reaction to methylprednisolone, tacrolimus,sirolimus, or prednisone.

  • Has a history of a primary immunodeficiency (eg, common variable immunodeficiencysyndrome), splenectomy, or any underlying condition that predisposes the participantto infection.

  • Has herpes zoster (varicella zoster virus [VZV]), CMV, or EBV infection that has notcompletely resolved at least 12 weeks prior to Screening.

  • Has any infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with parenteralanti-infectives not resolved at least 8 weeks prior to Day -2.

Study Description

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.
