Clinical trials and studies are where the rubber meets the road, scientifically.

Clinical trials for Sanfilippo are the crucial step of determining whether earlier research (basic and translational) shows the same therapeutic benefits in people.

Participation in observational studies and research surveys are opportunities to contribute to scientists’ understand of symptoms of Sanfilippo and how things change over time for the children. Participation also helps researchers develop new and improved outcome measures and more.

We do our best to keep the following list of clinical trials and studies for Sanfilippo up to date. However, we recommend periodically searching for “Sanfilippo” or “MPS III” on ClinicalTrials.gov and ClinicalTrialsRegister.eu in order for you to have the most-current information and to stay on top of newly-emerging clinical trial listings.

Contact us at Contact@CureSanfilippoFoundation.org if you would like more information about any of these clinical trial or other earlier-stage research underway.
