About this study
Official title: A Phase 1/2, Multicenter, Open-Label Study to Determine the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, and Pharmacodynamics of DNL310 in Pediatric Participants With Hunter Syndrome
This is a multicenter, multiregional, open-label study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and pharmacodynamics (PD) of tividenofusp alfa (DNL310), an investigational central nervous system (CNS)-penetrant enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), designed to treat both the peripheral and CNS manifestations of Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II; Hunter syndrome).
Participants, whose physicians feel they are deriving benefit, will have the opportunity to be reconsented into a safety extension and then an open-label extension for continued evaluation.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing tividenofusp alfa in people with Mucopolysaccharidosis II, run by Denali Therapeutics Inc. at 7 sites in 4 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 7 sites in United States, Canada, Netherlands, United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (time frame: 24 weeks, 104 weeks, and 357 weeks). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04251026, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Aug 2025.
