About this trial
The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of ION464 administered via intrathecal (IT) injection (Part 1) and to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ION464 (Part 2) in participants with multiple system atrophy (MSA).
The secondary objectives are to evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of ION464 on the level of a potential biomarker of target engagement (Parts 1 and 2) and to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ION464 in serum (Part 1).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Screening single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) with DaTscan™ (ioflupane I123 injection) results demonstrating loss (whether symmetric or asymmetric) of dopamine nerve terminals in the striatum consistent with neurodegenerative parkinsonism, as assessed with qualitative, visual read.
Diagnosed with probable or possible MSA, either parkinsonian-type (MSA-P) or cerebellar-type (MSA-C).
Must be able to walk unassisted for at least 10 meters (approximately 30 feet)
Disqualifiers
Presence of cognitive dysfunction (defined as Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score <25)
Family history of ataxia or parkinsonism and known genetic cause of ataxia or parkinsonism.
