Study Summary

This is the study of AMT-162 in Participants with SOD1-ALS and is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and exploratory efficacy of intrathecally administered gene therapy AMT-162. AMT-162-001 is a Phase 1/2, multi-center, single ascending dose study.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Confirmed clinical and genetic diagnosis of SOD1-mediated ALS (SOD1-ALS)experiencing signs and/or symptoms of lower motor neuron dysfunction (weakness,atrophy, cramps, fasciculations), with or without upper motor neuron symptoms (weakness, bring reflexes, spasticity).

  • ALSFRS-R score ≥ 25 at Screening.

  • Slow vital capacity (SVC) ≥50% of predicted normal value.

  • Capable of providing informed consent and complying with trial procedures,including: medically able to undergo lumbar puncture and has a responsible caregiverable to attend all clinic visit with the Participant.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • SOD1 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in amino acid regions 43-47.

  • Pathogenic repeat expansion in the C9orf72 gene

  • Any of the following prior or concomitant treatments:

  • Any prior SOD1 suppression therapy with viral microRNA mediators

  • Prior SOD suppression therapy with antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) mediatorssuch as tofersen (QALSODY™). Exception: Patients who previously receivedtofersen may be enrolled if the last dose of tofersen was received at least 20weeks prior to the first Screening assessment and if there were no previoustofersen-related SAEs or ongoing tofersen-related adverse events that wouldincrease the risk of receiving AMT-162, per Investigator judgment.

  • Other ALS medications riluzole (RILUTEK®, TIGLUTIK®), edaravone (RADICAVA®),and sodium phenylbutyrate and taururosdiol combination (RELYVRIO) orbioequivalents are allowed if dose is stable for 30 days prior toimmunosuppression.

  • Any prior administration of an AAV gene therapy.

  • Participants must be willing to forego new ALS treatments through at least 6 monthsafter infusion of AMT-162. After 6 months, Investigators and participants may decideto add new ALS medications or change existing ALS medications.

Study Description

AMT-162 is an investigational gene therapy that encodes an artificial microribonucleic acid (microRNA or miRNA) targeting the SOD1 gene. This clinical study will test the safety of AMT-162 and explore the hypothesis that it will silence expression of mutant cytosolic SOD1 and thereby ameliorate the course of ALS caused by this mutant gene.
