Vulnerable Population
Trial enrols male pediatric subjects (ages ≥2 and ≤12). Consent: "Written informed consent by parent/legal guardian, or authorized legal representative to participate in the study".

Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- The primary efficacy endpoint will be the number of patients meeting \"arrested disease\" criteria at Visit 12.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Assessed at Visit 12 (week 96) as the number of patients meeting \"arrested disease\" criteria; main objective states evaluation is determined by serial clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) investigations in pediatric subjects."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Sustained change from Baseline in the score composed of NFS items 1 (hearing/auditory processing), 2 (aphasia/apraxia), 4 (vision impairment), 10 (spastic gait) and 13 (incontinence).","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Change from Baseline in the composite score of specified NFS items; assessed longitudinally across visits."}

If “sustained change” definition is not met, the average of the two scores of Visit 6 and 8, and Visit 11 and 12, respectively, will be used. If NFS total score differs by 1 point between V6-8, or V11-12, the higher of the two scores is used.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Sustained change defined specifically as identical total score for NFS items 1,2,4,10,13 and no >1 change in total NFS in two consecutive visit windows (V6–8 and V11–12); alternative averaging rules specified if criterion not met."}
