Description

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of intrathecal (IT) delivery of ION717.

Official Title

A Phase 1/2a Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Intrathecally Administered ION717 in Patients With Prion Disease

Details

This is a first-in-human, randomized, multi-center study in participants with prion disease. Eligible participants will receive ION717 and placebo. The study will consist of a screening period of up to 6 weeks, a 30-week double-blind treatment period, a 70-week open-label extension period and a 32-week post-treatment period. During the double-blind period, the order of ION717 and placebo doses will be randomized and blinded to participants, study sites and the Sponsor. During the open-label extension period, all participants will receive ION717. Multiple dose levels will be tested.
