This study is a placebo-controlled Phase I study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of the antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) AMX0114 in adult participants with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Phase 1, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, PK and PD of Antisense Oligonucleotide AMX0114 Administered to Adult Participants With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
The purpose of this study is to determine how safe and tolerable the investigational drug, AMX0114, is for the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
AMX0114 is given by intrathecal injection, an injection in the lower back into the spinal canal, also known as lumbar puncture. This clinical trial is designed to test if the treatment is safe and tolerable by monitoring the incidence of adverse events, serious adverse events, dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), and incidence of abnormalities in clinical laboratory assessments, vital signs, physical and neurological examinations, and electrocardiograms (ECGs). This trial will also assess the effects of AMX0114 on biomarkers of ALS, including markers of neuronal death and neuroinflammation.
