Time frame: Up to Week 104

Who can participate

This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.

Inclusion criteria

  • The participant's parent/legal guardian must provide written informed consent.
  • Symptoms consistent with AS and documented genetic confirmation of one of the following genotypes resulting in a diagnosis of AS:
  • Full maternal UBE3A gene deletion causing AS in the region of 15q11.2-q13
  • Uniparental disomy
  • Imprinting center defect
  • The participant must be 18 to 50 years of age, inclusive (for adult participants), or 4 to 8 years of age, inclusive (for pediatric participants), at Screening.
  • The participant must have the ability to ambulate independently.
  • The participant must be on stable antiepileptic medications (with no changes within 1 month prior to the Screening visit, except for weight associated dose adjustments). Key

Exclusion criteria

  • Clinically significant medical finding other than AS, that, in the judgment of the Investigator would make the participant unsuitable for participation.
  • Laboratory abnormalities including but not limited to:
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Total and/or fractionated bilirubin (direct and/or indirect) \> ULN
  • Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) \> ULN
  • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) below the lower limit of normal (LLN) for age
  • Hemoglobin \< 8 g/dL
  • White blood cell (WBC) count outside the normal range for age
  • Platelet count \< LLN
  • Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) outside the reference range
  • PT/International normalized ratio (INR) outside the reference range
  • Any known history and/or family history of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)/macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) or multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS).
  • Any known history and/or family history of disordered complement function and/or complement gene mutation(s).
  • History of systemic lupus erythematous, Still's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and/or other severe autoimmune conditions per judgment of the Investigator.
  • Any known history of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA)/microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, or hypercoagulable conditions including, but not limited to, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism.
  • Current therapy with high dose immunosuppressants.
  • Prior or current treatment with an investigational drug within 6 months or 5-half-lives of the hospital admission whichever is longer.
  • Prior treatment with an antisense oligonucleotide within 1 year of hospital admission.
  • A history of gene therapy administration.
  • Any contraindication to ICM administration procedure, including contraindications to imaging, contrast use, anesthesia, or any condition that would increase the risk of adverse outcomes from the ICM procedure.
  • Any contraindication to glucocorticoid use

Frequently asked questions

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.

Is it safe to participate?

Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.

Will I be compensated?

Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.

Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?

When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.

Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?

Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.

How long does a clinical trial last?

Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
