Trial overview
The source data provided for this article does not list APAZUNERSEN trials. It lists two authorised clinical trials of GTX-102 in people with Angelman syndrome.[1][2]
Both studies are interventional trials, which means the researchers are giving a study treatment and measuring what happens over time.[1][2]
Patient groups and study setting
One trial is a long-term extension study for patients with Angelman syndrome.[1]
The other trial is for subjects with deletion-type or nondeletion-type Angelman syndrome, which are two forms of the same condition.[2]
In simple terms, a long-term extension study follows people for a longer time so researchers can learn more about the treatment after the earlier study phase.[1]
Study phases and design
The first trial is a Phase 3 study with an enrollment of 98 participants.[1]
The second trial is a Phase 2 study with an enrollment of 63 participants.[2]
Phase 2 trials usually look at early signs of benefit and safety, while Phase 3 trials are later studies that often include more people and help confirm results over a longer period.[1][2]
Main outcomes being measured
Both studies measure treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events, which are unwanted medical events that happen after treatment begins.[1][2]
The Phase 3 extension study measures the frequency, severity, and relationship of these events to the investigational product throughout the study.[1]
The Phase 2 study measures safety across all subprotocols and also measures efficacy, which means whether the treatment may help with symptoms or function.[2]
The Phase 2 study uses several outcome tools to look at cognition, communication, behavior, sleep, and motor function.[2]
Examples of these tools include the Bayley-4 Cognitive raw score, Vineland-3 Communication scores, ABC-C behavior scores, and ASA sleep and motor ratings.[2]
Trial-by-trial summary
Trial 2024-510917-14-00 is a Phase 3 long-term extension study in 98 people with Angelman syndrome.[1] Its main goal is to evaluate the long-term safety profile, with special attention to treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events.[1]
Trial 2024-519393-39-00 is a Phase 2 safety and efficacy study in 63 people with deletion-type or nondeletion-type Angelman syndrome.[2] It studies safety in all subprotocols and measures efficacy through several developmental and functional outcomes at Day 338 or TxD 338, depending on the subprotocol.[2]
In the source data, both studies are marked Authorised, which means they have approval to proceed in the listed setting.[1][2]
Important terms explained
Primary outcome means the main result the researchers want to measure first.[1][2]
Baseline means the starting point before treatment effects are measured.[2]
Change from Baseline means the study compares later test results with the starting test result.[2]
Net response means the overall response measured across several areas at the study time point named in the protocol.[2]
Subprotocol means a smaller part of one larger study, where different groups may have different endpoints or assessments.[2]
