Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assess the safety and tolerability of TPN-101 in patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)

    Incidence and severity of spontaneously reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) associated with TPN-101 v. placebo administered for up to 48 weeks in patients with PSP

    48 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Assess the pharmacokinetics of TPN-101 as measured by concentrations of TPN-101 in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)

    48 weeks

  • Assess the pharmacodynamic effect of TPN-101 on neurodegeneration as measured by changes in the levels of CSF and blood neurofilament light (NfL)

    48 weeks

  • Assess the clinical effect of TPN-101 as measured by changes in score on the Progressive Supranuclear Palsy Rating Scale (PSPRS)

    48 weeks

Eligibility Criteria

Age41 Years - 86 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Clinical diagnosis of probable progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP)
  • Presence of PSP symptoms for less than 5 years
  • Has a reliable caregiver/informant to accompany the patient to all study visits.
  • Score ≥ 18 on the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE) at Screening
  • Patient must reside outside a skilled nursing facility or dementia care facility at the time of Screening, and admission to such a facility must not be planned. Residence in an assisted living facility is allowed

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients must not meet any of the following criteria:
  • Presence of other significant neurological or psychiatric disorders
  • History of clinically significant brain abnormality
  • Presence of cerebellar ataxia, choreoathetosis, early symptomatic autonomic dysfunction, or moderate to severe resting tremor, responsive to levodopa
  • Known history of serum or plasma progranulin level less than one standard deviation below the normal patient mean
  • Known presence of disease-associated mutation in TARDBP, GRN, CHMPB2, or VCP genes; or any other frontotemporal lobar degeneration causative genes not associated with underlying tau pathology
  • History of clinically significant hematological, endocrine, cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, or gastrointestinal disease
