An Open-label Safety and Tolerability Study of Nusinersen (ISIS 396443) in Participants With Spinal Muscular Atrophy Who Previously Participated in ISIS 396443-CS1 (NCT01494701)

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01780246
Lead Sponsor
Biogen
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to examine the safety and tolerability of nusinersen (ISIS 396443) administered intrathecally to participants with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) who previously participated in ISIS 396443-CS1 (NCT02865109). The secondary objective was to examine the plasma pharmacokinetics of a single dose of ISIS 396443 administered intrathecally to participants with SMA who previously participated in ISIS 396443-CS1.

Detailed Description

This study was conducted and the protocol was registered by Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

In August 2016, sponsorship of the trial was transferred to Biogen.

Key

Exclusion Criteria
  • Have any new or worsening of existing condition which in the opinion of the Investigator would make the participant unsuitable for enrollment, or could interfere with the participant participating in or completing the study.
  • Dosing in ISIS 396443-CS1 (NCT01494701) within 270 days (9 months) of screening, or longer ago than 450 days (15 months)
  • Dosing in ISIS 396443-CS2 (NCT01703988)
  • Hospitalization for surgery (i.e. scoliosis surgery) or pulmonary event within 2 months of screening or planned during the duration of the study
  • Presence of an untreated or inadequately treated active infection requiring systemic antiviral or antimicrobial therapy any time during the screening period
  • Clinically significant abnormalities in hematology or clinical chemistry parameters
  • Treatment with investigational drug, biological agent, or device within 1-month of Screening or 5 half-lives of study agent, whichever is longer. Treatment with valproate or hydroxyurea within 1 months of screening. Any history of gene therapy or cell transplantation

NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
