About this trial

This is a Phase 1/2, first in human, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and clinical activity of a single dose of JAG201 administered via intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection in pediatric and adult participants with SHANK3 haploinsufficiency resulting from SHANK3 loss of function mutations and chromosomal deletions encompassing the SHANK3 gene. Clinical data will be evaluated for safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical activity of JAG201 in pediatric and adult participants with SHANK3 haploinsufficiency. The pediatric cohorts will start enrolling first and the enrollment for adult cohorts may be initiated at a later timepoint in the study.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Is male or female, and 2 to 9 years of age at the time of JAG201 administration

Has a molecular confirmation of a loss of function mutation in SHANK3 or a 22q13.3 deletion classified as a Class I deletion

Has evidence of developmental/cognitive delay of at least 2 standard deviations (SD) below the mean (i.e., ≤ 70) via either Intelligence Quotient (IQ) OR Developmental Quotient (DQ) assessment (as applicable)

Has an overall Phelan-McDermid Syndrome (PMS) Assessment of Severity (PMSA-S) Score of 3 or greater at Screening

Disqualifiers

Has history of developmental regression defined in this study as a prolonged loss of previously acquired skills (defined as skills maintained for at least 3 months) with loss of skills persisting for at least 3 months

Has known or suspected prion disease (e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease)

Has poorly-controlled epilepsy (defined as an increase in the dose or addition of new anti-epileptic medications within the past 3 months) or any history of status epilepticus or seizure-induced hospitalizations within the last 12 months

Has history of acute cerebrovascular episodes
