NCT ID NCT06415344

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 3 trial tests the long-term safety of GTX-102 (apazunersen) in 255 people with Angelman syndrome, a genetic disorder causing developmental delays and seizures. Participants have already completed an earlier GTX-102 study and will continue receiving the drug. The main goal is to track side effects over time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

GTX-102 (apazunersen), an antisense oligonucleotide drug

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that GTX-102 is safe enough to use long-term and may help manage symptoms of Angelman syndrome.

What could go wrong

This is an extension study, so it only includes people who already tolerated GTX-102. It does not prove the drug works for everyone, and long-term side effects are still unknown.
