Studie naar de veiligheid en verdraagbaarheid van VTx-002 bij deelnemers met ALS (ALS)
Fase 1/2 Onderzoek naar een Nieuw Experimenteel Regime bij Amyotrofische Laterale Sclerose (Pioneer-ALS): Een Open-Label, Ongecontroleerde, Multicenter Studie om de Veiligheid en Tolerantie van Twee Doseringen van VTx-002 te Beoordelen
PIONEER-ALS is a Phase 1/2, multicenter, open-label, ascending dose, uncontrolled, first-in-human study that will evaluate the safety, tolerability and effects on clinical and biomarker endpoints of intracisternal administration of Vtx-002 in participants with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
Two escalating dose (low dose and high dose) cohorts are planned. The duration of the study will be a maximum of 5 years and 5 weeks (265 weeks) for each participant. The screening period may last up to 5 weeks to complete screening procedures.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving
All participants will receive a single injection of the study drug. During the first year of the study there will be 12 visits to the study center, including an overnight stay after dosing of at least 1 night. There will be a further 4 remote visits (telephone or video call).
From Year 2-5 there will be 8 further visits. These will be every 6 months and will be either in-person at the study site or remote (telephone or video call) if needed or preferred.
Throughout the 5-year observation period, there will be up to 20 study visits to complete follow-up tests and assessments and monitor the ongoing effects of the study drug.

- Confirmed absence of ALS caused by FUS and SOD1 gene mutations confirmed by laboratory tests.
- A maximum of 18 months since first appearance of weakness (e.g., limb weakness, dysarthria, dysphagia, shortness of breath)
- Erect (seated) SVC % predicted ≥ 80% at Screening
- Treatment Research Initiative to Cure ALS (TRICALS) risk score between -2 and -6 at Screening
- Has a reliable caregiver/partner/legal representative willing and able to support the participant in participation in the study and to give informed consent on behalf of the participant in the case that disease progression prevents the participant of giving consent (local legal rules will apply).
- Treatment with riluzole and/or edaravone is allowed if treatment was started and has remained at a stable dose for at least 2 weeks (riluzole) or one treatment cycle (edaravone) before the Screening visit
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) and male participants with female partners who are WOCBP must agree to use highly effective contraception during and after the study. WOCBP cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding
- Women of nonchildbearing potential must be post-menopausal or surgically sterile (e.g. hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, ovaries removed)
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of a significant CNS or peripheral nervous system disease other than ALS that may be a cause for the participant's ALS symptoms or may confound study objectives
- Spinal, cervical, or brain MRI/MRA indicating clinically significant abnormality
- Presence of tracheostomy and feeding tube at Screening
- Contraindications to corticosteroid use (e.g. due to osteoporosis, uncontrolled blood pressure, diabetes or cholesterol).
5.

6. Clinically significant abnormalities in laboratory test results at Screening for example poor liver or kidney function, abnormal clotting or infections such as Hepatitis or HIV
7. Use of blood thinners (e.g., warfarin, heparin, and novel oral anticoagulants) and being unable to safely stop them before certain study procedures.
8. Contraindications to imaging methods MRI, MRA, CT due to claustrophobia and/or intolerance to contrast agents.
9. Contraindications to general anaesthesia (GA) or deep sedation
10 Positive test for illegal drugs (except prescribed medications or permitted medicinal/recreational marijuana if used responsibly)
11. Generally frail or if the Investigator deems participation in the study would not be in the best interest of the participant or is likely to prohibit further participation during the study

Experimenteel: Gene Therapy Group 1: Dose 1 (Low Dose)
Gene Therapy: VTx-002 18 participants will receive dose 1 administered intra cisterna magna. Dosing of the first 3 participants will be staggered at specific timepoints apart and with a safety monitoring committee review of health-related information in between each participant being dosed. VTx-002 is a single dose therapy Drug: Preventative (Prophylactic) Medication: Methylprednisolone |
An investigational gene therapy targeting a specific protein. To reduce the risk of reactions caused by the study treatment, steroid medicines will be given in advance.
