E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Any change in medications (excluding AEDs) or diet/supplements intended to treat symptoms of AS (eg, sleeping aids, supplements, dietary change including ketogenic or low-glycemic index diet, other) over the prior 1 month before screening. 2. Any bleeding or platelet disorder 3. Any clinically significant cardiovascular, endocrine, hepatic, renal, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, neurologic, malignant, metabolic, psychiatric, or other condition that, in the judgment of the Investigator, will pose a safety risk, will make the patient unsuitable for participation in, and/or unable to complete the study procedures. 4. Any laboratory abnormality, that, in the Investigator’s opinion, could adversely affect the safety of the patient, make it unlikely that the course of treatment or follow up would be completed, or impair the assessment of study result 5. Known positive for hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, or human immunodeficiency virus 6. Any active infection 7. Bone, spine, bleeding, or other disorder that exposes the patient to risk of injury or unsuccessful lumbar puncture 8. Drugs that increase the risk of bleeding (eg, heparin, low molecular weight heparin, platelet inhibitors). 9. Any prior use of gene therapy 10. Use of any investigational drugs in the past 6 months or within 5 half-lives, whichever period is greater (with the exception of prior GTX-102) 11. Known hypersensitivity to any oligonucleotide, as demonstrated by an immunemediated reaction (eg, pneumonitis, hepatitis, nephritis, neuritis, or other system inflammation), or a systemic allergic reaction such as signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis, urticaria, clinically significant rash 12. Patient is pregnant or lactating 13. Any medical condition that would require intubation for the anesthesia procedure |
