An Open-Label Extension Study of EryDex in Patients with Ataxia-Telangiectasia Following Participation in Study IEDAT-04-2022 (NEAT)
This study is an extension of a previous trial for people with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) who have already received an experimental medicine called EryDex. It’s an 'open-label' study, meaning everyone involved knows they are receiving the medicine. The main goal is to carefully check the long-term safety of EryDex. Researchers will be looking for any side effects, changes in body measurements like blood pressure and lab results, and how participants generally feel. They will also assess important body functions such as hormone levels, immune cells, bone strength, and overall growth and development. This will help us understand more about how EryDex affects people over time.
نظرة سريعة
ما هو موضوع هذه الدراسة؟
This research is an extension of a previous study for people living with a rare genetic condition called Ataxia-Telangiectasia, often shortened to A-T. A-T can cause problems with movement, balance, and the immune system. In the previous study, participants received a new experimental medicine called EryDex.
This current study, known as an 'open-label extension', means that all participants will continue to receive EryDex, and everyone involved (researchers, doctors, and participants) will know they are receiving the treatment. The main purpose is to carefully monitor the safety of EryDex over a longer period. This is a very important step in developing new treatments, as it helps doctors understand how a medicine affects people over time, not just for a short period.
Researchers will be looking closely at any side effects that might happen. They will also check a range of health markers, including blood tests, physical examinations, and how the medicine might affect things like hormone levels, bone health, and how a person grows and develops. This detailed monitoring helps to build a complete picture of the medicine's long-term effects.

من قد يكون مؤهلاً؟
To be considered for this study, you must have previously taken part in the earlier EryDex study (called IEDAT-04-2022 or NEAT) for Ataxia-Telangiectasia. This means that if you haven't been in that specific study before, you won't be able to join this extension study.
Participants must be 18 years old or older. There is no upper age limit for joining this study. Both men and women are welcome to participate.

ماذا يتضمن المشاركة؟
If you join this study, you will continue to receive the experimental medicine EryDex. Researchers will regularly check your health and look for any side effects. This will involve regular visits where they might take blood samples, check your vital signs (like blood pressure), and perform physical and neurological examinations. They will also assess things like your balance and coordination using specific scales. Additionally, they will check your hormone levels, immune cells, and measure your bone density using a special X-ray called a DEXA scan. Your growth and development will also be monitored. The total length of your participation will be discussed with the study team.
