Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary goal of the trial is the assessment of tolerance (safety) of the intracerebral adminsitration of a single dose of AAVrh.10cuARSA ;Secondary Objective: Evaluate the efficacy of intracerebral administration of a single dose of a AAVrh.210cuARSA to stop the disease progression;Primary end point(s): A) SAFETY Early follow-up: safety or neurosurgical procedure (M0-M1) - Standard clinical and neurological exam and monitoring of adverse events associated to the procedure - Standard laboratory tests - CT scan - Brain MRI Follow-up after the neurosurgical procedure (M1-M24) - Standard clinical and laboratory tests and adverse event monitoring - Brain MRI B) Primary efficacy endpoint MLD neurological severity score;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: A) SAFETY Early follow-up: safety or neurosurgical procedure (M0-M1) - Standard clinical and neurological exam and monitoring of adverse events associated to the procedure: day +1, +3, +7, +10 and months +1 - Standard laboratory tests: day +3, +10, and months +1 - CT scan: within 36 hours of the procedure - Brain MRI day +6 and month +1 Follow-up after the neurosurgical procedure (M1-M24) - Standard clinical and laboratory tests and adverse event monitoring months 1,3,6,9,15 18 and 24 - Brain MRI months +3, +9, +15 and +24 B) Primary efficacy endpoint MLD neurological severity score at months +1, +3, +6, +12 +18 and +24

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Motor scores (GMFM, Ashworth and ICARS) Neurological evaluation Cognitive functions (Bayey Scales of Infant Development MLD severity MRI score, MRI-DTI parameters, measurement of cerebral atrophy and spectroscopy Neuroelectrophysiological tests (peripheral nerve condution velocity, visual, auditory and somatosensory evoked potentials);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Motor scores (GMFM, Ashworth and ICARS): at months +1, +3 for GMFM ans Ahshworth tests only, and +6, +12, +18and +24 for all tests Neurological evaluation at each visit. Cognitive functions (Bayey Scales of Infant Development at months +3, +9, +15 and +24. MLD severity MRI score, MRI-DTI parameters, measurement of cerebral atrophy and spectroscopy at months +1, +3, +6, +9, +15 and +24. Neuroelectrophysiological tests (peripheral nerve condution velocity, visual, auditory at months +3, 15 and +24 and somatosensory evoked potentials)
