Safety and Efficacy of Mutation-targeted Precision Genetic Therapy for Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T)

Plain-language summary

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of an antisense oligonucleotide therapy targeting the ATM gene in people with ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). It enrolls participants with genetically confirmed classic A-T who carry the c.7865C>T change in the ATM gene. The study is in Phase 1/Phase 2 and is currently recruiting participants.

The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.
