What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study tests a custom-designed antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) drug for one person with ALS caused by a specific CHCHD10 gene variant. The drug aims to slow disease progression by targeting the genetic root of the condition. Researchers will monitor changes in muscle function, breathing, thinking, and survival over 12 months, along with safety.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
nL-CHCHD-001 (personalized antisense oligonucleotide)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could point toward a tailored treatment for ALS caused by specific genetic mutations.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, single-participant study, so results may not apply to others. The ASO may not slow disease or could cause side effects.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Informed consent/assent provided by the participant (when appropriate), and/or participant's parent(s) or legally authorized representative(s). * Ability to travel to the study site and adhere to study-related follow-up examinations and/or procedures and provide access to participant's medical records. * Genetically confirmed neurological disorder. Exclusion Criteria: * Participant has any condition that in the opinion of the Site Investigator, would ultimately prevent the completion of study procedures. * Use of an investigational medication within less than 5 half-lives of the drug at enrollment
