A Study to Find Out How Nusinersen is Processed in the Body When Given Through the ThecaFlex DRx™ System in Adult and Pediatric Participants With Spinal Muscular Atrophy (PIERRE-PK)

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Interventions
Device: ThecaFlex DRx System
Registration Number
2024-514239-21-00
Lead Sponsor
Biogen Idec Research Limited
Brief Summary

The main objective of the PIERRE-PK study is to learn how the body processes nusinersen when given by the ThecaFlex DRx system compared to a lumbar puncture. The main questions researchers want to answer are:

• What is the highest amount of nusinersen found in the blood after dosing?

• How much nusinersen is found in the blood over the first 24 hours after dosing?

Detailed Description

The primary objective of this study is to assess the Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of nusinersen delivered via standard LP and via the ThecaFlex DRx System in participants with SMA.

Recruitment & Eligibility

Sex
Not specified
Target Recruitment
26
Inclusion Criteria

Participant is on regular maintenance dosing of nusinersen (12 milligrams [mg] dose) every 4 months, with 4 months (± 2 weeks) between the LP-delivered study dose and the last nusinersen dose prior to study enrollment.

Participants must be enrolled in the PIERRE study to be eligible for enrolment in the PIERRE PK study.

Exclusion Criteria

Ongoing participation or participation within 6 months or 5 half-lives of the agent (whichever is longer) of enrolment in other interventional clinical trials for the treatment of SMA (except for the PIERRE study).

Participant is naïve to nusinersen treatment.

Participant is receiving nusinersen at a dose other than 12 mg.

Participant has already undergone implantation of the ThecaFlex DRx system.

Participant is pregnant, currently breastfeeding, or intending to become pregnant during the study. NOTE: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.
