New drug aims to control angelman syndrome long-term
NCT ID NCT06415344
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 10, 2026 · Updated 4 times
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.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Signed informed consent from parent(s) or legal guardian(s). * Completed a final study visit in a prior clinical trial with GTX-102. If the subject has an ongoing adverse event, medical monitor approval is required to rollover. The Screening visit must occur within 6 months of the last visit in the prior GTX-102 trial. * From the time of informed consent through the end of the study and for at least 6 months after the final dose of GTX-102, females of childbearing potential who are sexually active must use highly effective contraception or abstinence. Males are able to participate if they agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use acceptable contraceptive methods during the study and for at least 3 months after the final dose of GTX-102. Exclusion Criteria: * Discontinued from study or withdrew from study treatment in a prior GTX-102 trial. * History or evidence of any other medical, neurological, or psychological condition that would expose the subject to an undue risk of a significant AE or interfere with study assessments during the course of the trial as determined by the clinical judgment of the Investigator. * Known hypersensitivity to GTX-102 or its excipients that, in the judgment of the Investigator, places the subject at increased risk for adverse effects. * Pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant (self or partner) at any time during the study
