Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary objectives are to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple doses of ION464 administered via intrathecal (IT) injection (Part 1) and to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of ION464 (Part 2) in participants with multiple system atrophy (MSA).

The secondary objectives are to evaluate the pharmacodynamic (PD) effect of ION464 on the level of a potential biomarker of target engagement (Parts 1 and 2) and to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of ION464 in serum (Part 1).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a first-in-human, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, multiple-ascending-dose (MAD) study (Part 1) to evaluate the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD of ION464 in adult participants diagnosed with MSA with a long-term extension (LTE) (Part 2). The study will include up to approximately 40 participants. Part 1 of the study consists of a Screening Period of up to 6 weeks, a Treatment Period of 12 weeks, and a Follow-up Period of 24 weeks. The study duration for each participant in Part 2 will be approximately 96 weeks, which consists of a 72-week Treatment Period and a 24-week Follow-up Period.
