Neurodevelopmental Disorder With or Without Variable Brain Abnormalities

Brief summary

This research project entails delivery of a personalized antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) drug designed for a single participant with Neurodevelopmental Disorder with or without Brain Abnormalities (NEDBA) due to a heterozygous pathogenic missense mutation in MAPK8IP3

Detailed description

This is an interventional study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of treatment with an individualized antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) treatment in a single participant with NEDBA due to a heterozygous pathogenic missense mutation in MAPK8IP3

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Motor SkillsBaseline to 24 monthsChange in gross motor function from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-MAPK8-001 administration as measured by the Gross Motor Function Measure-88 score.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Sleep QualityBaseline to 24 monthsChange in sleep architecture from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-MAPK8-001 administration as measured using an actigraphy device to monitor sleep duration.
Safety and TolerabilityBaseline to 24 monthsIncidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-MAPK8-001 administration
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Abnormalities in Neurological Exam [Safety and Tolerability]Baseline to 24 monthsChanges from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-MAPK8-001 administration in neurological examination (changes in mental status, gait, cerebellar, cranial nerve, motor, reflex, and sensations compared to baseline as assessed by treating physician)
Incidence of Treatment Emergent Abnormalities in safety labs (CSF, chemistry, hematology, coagulation, urinalysis) [Safety and Tolerability]Baseline to 24 monthsEmergent abnormalities in laboratory analyses (results outside of normal range for CSF, chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis)
Seizure OnsetBaseline to 24 monthsChange in presence of seizures from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-MAPK8-001 administration as measured by number of seizures recorded by EEG monitoring.
Respiratory InfectionsBaseline to 24 monthsChange in frequency of treatment and hospitalizations for respiratory infection from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-MAPK8-001 administration as measured by changes in concomitant medications.
Quality of LifeBaseline to 24 monthsChange in quality of life from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-MAPK8-001 administration as measured by Caregiver Global Impression of Change questionnaire (CaGI-C)

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
Swallow FunctionBaseline to 24 monthsChange in swallow function from baseline to 12-, and 24-months post nL-MAPK8-002 administration as measured by Pediatric Functional Oral Intake Scale (pFOIS)
CommunicationBaseline to 24 monthsChange in communication skills from baseline to 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-months post nL-MAPK8-002 administration as measured by Observer-Reported Communication Ability (ORCA)
Swallow functionBaseline to 24 monthsChange in swallow function from baseline to 12-, and 24-months post nL-MAPK8-002 administration as measured by a formal swallow study changes in oral and pharyngeal phases.
