In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This project aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of precision genetic therapy for patients with Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), a rare neurodegenerative disease caused by mutations in the ATM gene. The investigators will conduct a clinical trial to study the safety and efficacy of intrathecal administration of atipeksen, a targeted genetic therapy that restores ATM gene function in A-T individuals bearing the recurrent ATM c.7865C\>T variant. The aim of this study is to delay or forestall progression of neurologic symptoms in A-T and improving quality of life. Success will provide an empirical foundation for advancing additional precision genetic therapies for A-T and other neurodegenerative conditions.
