A Phase 1/2a Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled, Single- and Multiple Ascending Dose Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, PK, PD and Efficacy of IV Administration of ATX-01 In Male and Female Participants Aged 18 to 64 With Classic DM1
The goal of this clinical trial is to test ATX-01 in participants with myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1). The main question it aims to answer is if ATX-01 is safe and well tolerated. The trial will compare the safety and tolerability of ATX-01 and a matching placebo. There will be a single-ascending dose part of the trial and a multiple-ascending dose part. In the single-ascending dose, participants will receive one dose of ATX-01 or placebo. In the multiple-ascending dose part, participants will receive three doses of ATX-01 or placebo. ATX-01 is a novel anti-miR (synthetic single stranded oligonucleotide) that inhibits a microRNA called miR-23b.
• Participants with a documented clinical diagnosis of DM1 (CTG expansion of \>150 repeats in DMPK gene measured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells)
• Ambulatory, defined as able to complete a 10-meter walk/run test at screening without the use of assistive devices such as canes, walkers, or orthoses, except for ankle-foot orthoses
• Presence for \>3 seconds of grip myotonia as confirmed by a central reader
