E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1.

Inability to ambulate independently or with an assistive device or caregiver hand-hold 3. Any bleeding or platelet disorder 4. 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. 5. 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 6. Known positive for hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, or human immunodeficiency virus 7. Any active infection 8. Bone, spine, bleeding, or other disorder that exposes the patient to risk of injury or unsuccessful lumbar puncture 9. Drugs that increase the risk of bleeding (eg, heparin, low molecular weight heparin, platelet inhibitors). 10. Use of any investigational oligonucleotide (with the exception of prior GTX-102) 11. Any prior use of gene therapy 12. Use of any investigational drugs in the past 6 months (with the exception of prior GTX-102) 13. Known hypersensitivity to any oligonucleotide, as demonstrated by a systemic allergic reaction such as changes in pulse, blood pressure, breathing function 14. Patient is pregnant or lactating 15. Any medical condition that would require intubation for the anesthesia procedure |
