About this trial

The goal of this first-in-human clinical trial is to assess the safety and tolerability of four doses of a new study drug called VO659 in people with genetic disorders called spinocerebellar ataxia type 1, type 3 or Huntington's disease. Another aim is to determine the concentrations of the study drug in the cerebral spinal fluid and blood after single and multiple doses. Study drug will be administered by lumbar intrathecal bolus injections.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Provide written informed consent (signed and dated). Patients should be assessed for their ability to give informed consent using the Evaluation to Sign Consent tool.

Is ≥25 and ≤60 years of age inclusive, of any gender, at the time of signing the informed consent.

SCA1 and SCA3: mild to moderate disease with a Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) score of ≥3 and ≤18

HD: early manifest, Stage I disease with a Total Functional Capacity (TFC) Score of ≥11 and ≤13 and a Unified Huntington's Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) Diagnostic Confidence Level (DCL) of 4.

Disqualifiers

Have any condition that would prevent participation in trial assessments.

Have one or more pathogenic mutation(s) in another polyQ disease gene, i.e., ATXN2, CACNA1A, ATXN7, TBP, AR, and ATN1, plus either ATXN3 and HTT (for patients with SCA1), ATXN1 and HTT (for participants with SCA3), or ATXN1 and ATXN3 (for participants with HD), in addition to the disease-causing mutation in the ATXN1 (patients with SCA1), ATXN3 (patients with SCA3) or HTT (patients with HD) gene.

Have clinical diagnosis of moderate or severe chronic migraines or history of the post-lumbar-puncture headache of moderate or severe intensity requiring hospitalisation or blood patch.

Have a brain, spinal or systemic disorder that would interfere with the LP process, CSF circulation, or safety assessments.
