Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 2D

Brief summary

This research project entails delivery of a personalized antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) drug designed for a single participant with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2D (CMT2D) due to a pathogenic, de novo deletion mutation in GARS1

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 CMT2D due to a pathogenic, de novo deletion mutation in GARS1

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Motor SkillsBaseline to 24 monthsChange in fine motor skills from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-GARS1-001 administration as measured by the annualized rate of change in the Nine-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Functional SkillsBaseline to 24 monthsChange in functional skills from baseline to 6-, 12-, 18- and 24-months post nL-GARS1-001 administration as measured by the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory - Computer Adaptive Test (PEDI-CAT)
Safety and TolerabilityBaseline to 24 monthsIncidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs) post nL-GARS1-001 administration
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Abnormalities in Physical Exam [Safety and Tolerability]Baseline to 24 monthsChanges post nL-GARS1-001 administration in physical examination (changes in appearance, skin, neck, ears, nose, throat, heart/lungs, abdomen, lymph nodes, and extremities compared to baseline)
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Abnormalities in Neurological Exam [Safety and Tolerability]Baseline to 24 monthsChanges post nL-GARS1-001 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, and urinalysis) [Safety and Tolerability]Baseline to 24 monthsEmergent abnormalities in laboratory analyses (results outside of normal range for CSF, chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis)
Quality of LifeBaseline to 24 monthsChange in quality of life from baseline to 6-, 12-, 18- and 24-months post nL-GARS1-001 administration as measured by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL)

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
CognitionBaseline to 24 monthsChange in cognition from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-GARS1-001 administration as measured by NIH Toolbox Cognition assessment
CommunicationBaseline to 24 monthsChange in communication skills from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-GARS1-001 administration as measured by the Communication Participation Item Bank (CPIB)
Nerve FunctionBaseline to 24 monthsChange in nerve function from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-GARS1-001 administration as measured by speed and strength of electrical signals in the motor and sensory nerves
Pulmonary FunctionBaseline to 24 monthsChange in Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) from baseline to 12- and 24-months post nL-GARS1-001 administration
