Trial design
Randomised, open-label, no treatment (participants randomized in subprotocol d in a 2:1 ratio to gtx-102 or no treatment; participants randomized to no treatment will receive no treatment during the initial period, then will receive gtx-102 thereafter).-controlled, adaptive Phase II trial in Portugal, France, Italy.
- Randomised
- Yes
- Open Label
- Yes
- Comparator
- No Treatment (participants randomized in Subprotocol D in a 2:1 ratio to GTX-102 or No Treatment; participants randomized to No Treatment will receive no treatment during the initial period, then will receive GTX-102 thereafter).
- Adaptive
- True, dose-escalation elements present: participants (Subprotocols A, B, C and GTX-102 arm of D) will receive increasing doses of GTX-102 via intrathecal injection until a target dose is achieved; thereafter dosing occurs every 3 months (Q3M). No interim analysis or stopping rules are described in the provided JSON.

Eligibility
Recruits 44 paediatric patients.
- Pregnancy Exclusion
- Pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant (self or partner) at any time during the study.
- Vulnerable Population
- The trial includes vulnerable pediatric participants (paediatric subprotocols A, B and D). Consent is required from parent(s) or legal guardian(s) (Parent Informed Consent Forms and LAR forms are listed among study documents). Assent for minors is not explicitly described in the available text.
Inclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- Signed informed consent from parent(s) or legal guardian(s)\n- Males and females of the following ages and genotypes at time of informed consent: a. Subprotocol A: ≥ 1 to < 4 years of age with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of deletion-type Angelman Syndrome b. Subprotocol B: ≥ 4 to < 18 years of age with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of UPD/ICD Angelman Syndrome c. Subprotocol C: ≥ 18 to < 65 years of age with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of Angelman Syndrome, any genotype d.

Males are able to participate if they agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use acceptable contraceptive methods during the study and for at least 3 months after the final dose of GTX-102."}
Exclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- Any change in medications or diet/supplements intended to treat symptoms of AS (eg, sleeping aids, antiseizure medications, supplements, dietary change including ketogenic or low-glycemic index diet, other) within the month prior to the Screening Visit (excluding weight-based adjustments).\n- Any condition that creates an increased risk of unsuccessful LP.\n- Current or expected concomitant use of drugs that increase the risk of bleeding (eg, heparin, low molecular weight heparin, platelet inhibitors).\n- Known hypersensitivity to GTX-102 or its excipients or required premedication that, in the judgment of the Investigator, places the subject at increased risk for adverse effects.\n- Presence or history of any condition, lab abnormality, or infection that, in the judgement of the Investigator, would interfere with study participation, pose undue safety risk, or would confound interpretation of results.\n- Pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant (self or partner) at any time during the study.\n- Use of any investigational product or investigational medical device within 6 months or 5 half-lives prior to the Screening Visit, or any prior use of gene therapy or an ASO regardless of length of time since last use.\n- Concurrent participation in any interventional study."}
