Charcot Marie Tooth Disease (CMT), Neuromuscular Diseases (NMD)
Conditions
Brief summary
This is an 'N of 1', open-label, single center study to evaluate the safety of therapy with VCA-894A, an ASO designed to rescue and restore the activity of IGHMBP2, when administered by intrathecal injection.
Interventions
intrathecal antisense oligonucleotide injection
Sponsors
Study design
Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Ability and acceptance to provide written informed consent. * Genetically confirmed diagnosis of CMT2S with confirmed IGHMBP2 intronic cryptic splice variant c. 1235+894C\>A.
Exclusion criteria
* Significant clinical deterioration of the patient's neurologic status, as judged by the Investigator. * Non-reversible conditions that are contraindications to lumbar puncture. * Pregnancy, recent pregnancy (within 6 weeks), or women who are breastfeeding.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessment of safety of therapy with VCA-894A when administered via intrathecal injection, as measured by the incidence of adverse events. | 631 days | Safety will be assessed by determining the incidence, severity, and dose relationship of adverse events that are related to treatment with VCA-894A. |
| Assessment of CMT2S symptoms following chronic administration of intrathecal VCA-894A, as determined by the change in the Revised Upper Limb Module for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (RULM). | 631 days | The Revised Upper Limb Module for Spinal Muscular Atrophy (RULM) scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 37 points, with higher scores indicating better upper limb function. |
| Assessment of CMT2S symptoms following chronic administration of intrathecal VCA-894A, as determined by the change in the Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale - Expanded (HFMSE). | 631 days | The Hammersmith Functional Motor Scale - Expanded (HFMSE) scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 66 points, with higher scores indicating greater motor functioning. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rescue of IGHMBP2, as determined by the change in IGHMBP2 mRNA expression from baseline. | 631 days | IGHMBP2 mRNA, which is the target of VCA-894A therapy, will be measured in both the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood by qPCR relative expression. |
