New gene therapy hopes to restore milestones in rett syndrome
NCT ID NCT05606614
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a one-time gene therapy called TSHA-102 in females aged 6 to under 22 with classic Rett syndrome. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help them regain or gain new developmental skills like walking or talking. Participants receive the therapy through a spinal injection and are monitored for side effects and improvements.

Inclusion Criteria: * Females between the ages of 12 and \<22 in Part A (closed) and females between the ages of 6 and \<22 in Part B (pivotal cohort). * Participant has a clinical diagnosis of classic/typical Rett syndrome with a documented pathogenic mutation of the methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene that results in loss of gene function. * Participants must be willing to receive blood or blood products for the treatment of an AE if medically needed. * Participants and parent/caregiver must agree to reside within easy access to the study site prior to the baseline visit and at least 3 months after TSHA-102 treatment Exclusion Criteria: * Participant has another neurodevelopmental disorder independent of the MECP2 loss-of-function mutation, or any other genetic syndrome with a progressive course. * Participant has a history of brain injury that causes neurological problems or had grossly abnormal psychomotor development in the first 6 months of life. * Participant has a diagnosis of atypical Rett syndrome or a MECP2 gene mutation that does not cause Rett syndrome. * Participant requires invasive ventilatory support. Note: Other protocol defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply
