Phase I/II Study of JR-441 in Patients With Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIA
A Phase I/ II, open-label, randomized, 2-arm study, designed to evaluate the safety and explore efficacy of the study drug in development for the treatment of MPS IIIA patients. Studying weekly infusions of JR-441 in patients with Mucopolysaccharidosis Type IIIA.
A uniqueness of JCR’s approach is the uses of its “J-Brain Cargo” technology, to bring the protein therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier. Typically, ERTs are unable to cross the blood-brain barrier and provide therapeutic benefit to the brain. However, JCR’s therapy fuses the enzyme to an antibody, and the antibody recognizes a receptor on the blood-brain barrier and actively cycles the fused enzyme-antibody into the brain.
