Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of zilganersen (ION373) in improving or stabilizing gross motor function across the full range of affected domains in patients with AxD.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a Phase 1-3, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending dose (MAD) study in approximately 73 patients with AxD. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive zilganersen (ION373) or matching placebo for a 60-week double-blind treatment period; then all participants will receive zilganersen for a 60-week open-label treatment period followed by a 120-week open-label, long-term extension period, and a 28-week post-treatment follow-up period. Multiple dose cohorts will be evaluated in the study. Cohorts will be enrolled sequentially. The initial participants in each dose cohort must be at least 8 years of age at the time of Screening. The study will include an optional open-label sub-study in participants <2 years of age at some sites. Treatment extension period was added to provide continued access to open label zilganersen for patients completing the main study and sub-study until the drug may be commercially available. ;
