Detailed Description

This is a Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in people with Angelman syndrome. The study will consist of 4 periods: a screening period of up to 28 days, an approximate 60-week double blind, placebo-controlled treatment period, followed by an approximate 25-month Long-Term Extension (LTE) treatment period, and an approximate 8-month Post-LTE follow-up period. The study will be comprised of 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 will include pediatric participants, aged 2 to less than (<)18 years old and serve as the population for evaluation of primary and secondary outcome measures; Cohort 2 will include adult participants, aged 18 to ≤50 years old. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to 80 mg obudanersen or placebo during the double-blind placebo-controlled treatment period. Participants from both cohorts completing the placebo-controlled treatment period will be eligible to transition into the LTE Treatment Period wherein all trial participants will receive obudanersen. Participant, Caregiver, Investigator and Sponsor will remain blinded to the obudanersen dose administered to participants during the LTE.

The study initiated in 2024 with three dosing groups (40 mg obudanersen, 80 mg obudanersen, and placebo). Following additional review of data from the ongoing Phase 1/2 trial of obudanersen (HALOS), REVEAL was amended in December 2025 to its current form as a two-arm study: 80 mg obudanersen and placebo. Following the amendment, participants who were randomized to receive 40 mg obudanersen will be transitioned to receive 80 mg obudanersen.

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Must not have any clinically significant abnormalities in medical history (e.g., major surgery within 3 months of screening), or on physical examination for which treatment with an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) would be contraindicated or which, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator (PI), could confound the results of this study.
  2. Known brain or spinal disease that would interfere with the lumbar puncture (LP) procedure, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation, or presence of other factors would affect the safety of the LP procedure.
  3. Must not have any other conditions, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the participant unsuitable for inclusion or could interfere with the participant participating in or completing the study.
  4. Must not have any laboratory abnormalities or any other clinically significant abnormalities that would, as assessed by the Investigator, at screening or Baseline, render a participant unsuitable for inclusion.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Performance on the Expressive Communication Subdomain Raw Score of the Bayley Scales for Infant and Toddler Development-4 (Bayley-4) Without Caregiver Input in Cohort 1
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
The Bayley-4 is a performance-based assessment of developmental functioning across communication, cognition, and motor skills. The expressive communication subdomain of communication measures preverbal and verbal communication. The total raw score reflects the sum of all the item scores within the expressive communication subdomain, with higher scores reflecting greater expressive communication ability.
Baseline and Week 52

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Symptoms of Angelman Syndrome -Clinician Global Impression of Change (SAS-CGI-C): Overall AS
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
The SAS-CGI-C for Overall AS is a disease-specific clinician-reported outcome assessment measure for Angelman syndrome. The clinicians rate their overall impression of the change of the participant's Angelman syndrome symptoms utilizing a 7-point scale, ranging from "very much improved" (1) to "very much worse" (7).
Baseline and Week 52
Change in Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-3 (Vineland-3): Receptive Communication Subdomain Raw Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
The Vineland-3 assesses adaptive behaviors across 4 domains via a semi-structured interview between a trained clinician and the caregiver of the participant with AS. The receptive communication subdomain of communication measures the participant's ability to attend, understand, and respond appropriately to information from others. The total raw score reflects the sum of all the item scores within the receptive communication subdomain, with higher scores reflecting greater receptive communication ability.
Baseline and Week 52
Change in Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-3 (Vineland-3): Daily Living Skills, Personal Subdomain Raw Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
The Vineland-3 assesses adaptive behaviors across 4 domains via a semi-structured interview between a trained clinician and the caregiver of the participant with AS. The Personal subdomain of the Daily Living Skills domain measures the participant's self-sufficiency in such areas as eating, dressing, washing, hygiene, and health care. The total raw score reflects the sum of all the item scores within the Personal subdomain, with higher scores reflecting greater ability.
Baseline and Week 52
Change in Symptoms of Angelman Syndrome - Clinician Global Impression of Change (SAS-CGI-C): Sleep Problems
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
The SAS-CGI-C for Sleep Problems is a disease-specific clinician-reported outcome assessment measure for Angelman syndrome. The clinicians rate their overall impression of the change in the participant's sleep problems utilizing a 7-point scale, ranging from "very much improved" (1) to "very much worse" (7).
Baseline and Week 52
Percentage of Participants with Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame: Up to Week 52
Up to Week 52
Change in Vital Signs and Clinical Laboratory Results
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
Baseline and Week 52
Change in Bayley Scales for Infant and Toddler Development-4 (Bayley-4): Cognition Subdomain Raw Score Without Caregiver Input
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
The Bayley-4 is a performance-based assessment of developmental functioning across communication, cognition, and motor skills. The cognitive subdomain measures learning, memory and concept formation. The total raw score reflects the sum of all the item scores within the expressive communication subdomain, with higher scores reflecting greater cognitive ability.
Baseline and Week 52
Change in Bayley Scales for Infant and Toddler Development-4 (Bayley-4): Fine Motor Subdomain Raw Score Without Caregiver Input
Time Frame: Baseline to Week 52
The Bayley-4 is a performance-based assessment of developmental functioning across communication, cognition, and motor skills. The Fine Motor subdomain of communication measures motor abilities such as reaching, object manipulation, and grasping. The total raw score reflects the sum of all the item scores within the fine motor subdomain, with higher scores reflecting greater fine motor ability.
Baseline to Week 52
Change in Observer-Reported Communication Ability (ORCA): Overall Emerging T Score
Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
The ORCA measure assesses, from the caregiver's perspective, the communication ability of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders, like Angelman syndrome. This questionnaire assesses expressive, receptive, and pragmatic communication. The ORCA measure produces a single score that is an estimate of an individual's overall level of communication ability, with higher T-scores reflecting greater communication ability.
