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.

Yes

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. Subprotocol D: ≥ 4 to < 18 years of age with a genetically confirmed diagnosis of mutation-type Angelman Syndrome.\n- Weight ≥ 8 kg at Screening Visit.\n- Prothrombin time / international normalized ratio, and partial thromboplastin time < 1.5x the upper limit of normal and platelets > 75,000 cells/mm3 at the Screening Visit.\n- Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, drug administration plan, laboratory tests, and all study procedures, including LP procedure, MRI, and tolerating anesthesia without intubation.\n- From the time of informed consent through to at least 6 months after the final dose of GTX-102, females of childbearing potential who are sexually active must use highly effective contraception or abstinence.
