TAK-609 PTA Program

Hunter Syndrome or Mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II) is a rare genetic disorder caused by decreased levels of a specific enzyme, iduronate-2-sulfatase. Lack of this enzyme causes buildup of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). The build up of GAGs causes significant damage to the body and brain. Idursulfase-IT, an enzyme replacement therapy, was developed for the treatment of patients with Hunter Syndrome with cognitive impairment to help with the central nervous system manifestations of the disease. The purpose of this post-trial access program is so that patients with Hunter syndrome who previously received monthly administration of idursulfase-IT through participation in an earlier clinical research study can continue to receive it.

Mechanism of Macrophage and Fibroblast Activation in SSc

The purpose of this study is to understand the ways in which systemic sclerosis (SSc) develops and identify potential treatments. Because this study focuses on the interaction between macrophages and fibroblasts, both peripheral blood and skin will be necessary for completion of this work. Results from this work will provide the rational basis for the development of novel treatments for SSc patients.

Brain slice explants to predict drug response in brain tumors

You are being asked to participate in this research study because you have a type of tumor called a Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor, and you are scheduled to have surgery to remove this tumor. The study team wants to use left-over tumor samples from this surgery to study your tumor and test new ways to fight it.

Sanfilippo Syndrome - MPS IIIA Investigational Drug Study

Sanfilippo syndrome Type A or mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA) is a rare genetic disorder caused by the deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme sulfamidase. Lack of this enzyme causes buildup of large sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the lysosomes which leads to cellular dysfunction. The buildup of GAGs causes significant damage to the body and brain. This study is a multicenter, Phase 1/2 study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of they study drug DNL126, an enzyme replacement therapy, to provide the missing enzyme to the body. Up to 28 participants with MPS IIIA will participate in the study across multiple study sites .

Symptom Monitoring in Hemodialysis

This study is comparing two approaches for monitoring and addressing symptoms among adult patients with kidney failure who are treated with hemodialysis. For the first approach patients use an electronic system twice a month to report their symptoms. The system sends alerts to their medical team at the dialysis clinic about the reported symptoms and gives suggestions about how to manage them. The system also provides reports that show patients and their medical team the reported symptoms over time. For the second approach patients complete a quality of life questionnaire that includes questions about symptoms once a year. The questionnaire does not have follow-up support like alerts, symptom management guidance, or reports. In addition, researchers will talk to patients, dialysis clinic personnel, and medical providers about their experiences using the electronic symptom monitoring system to learn about how to best use patient-reported outcome measures in dialysis care.
