First human trial launches for rare childhood brain disease

NCT ID NCT06150716

Summary

This study is the first to test a new drug called ION356 in children with Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD), a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain and nerves. The main goal is to check if the drug is safe and how the body processes it when given as a spinal injection. About 24 boys, aged 2 to 17, with a confirmed genetic diagnosis will participate and receive the drug for nearly three years to monitor its effects.
