Study Arms (3)

ION717 + Placebo, Regimen 1

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will receive multiple doses of study drug (ION717 and placebo) during the 30-week treatment period; the order of doses is blinded. Participants will then receive multiple doses of ION717 during the 142-week open-label extension period.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • A confirmed diagnosis of probable or definite prion disease.
  • Early-stage prion disease at the time of Screening.
  • Willing to meet all study requirements, including travel to Study Center, procedures, measurements and visits.
  • Patients must have a caregiver who is ≥ 18 years old and who is able and willing to facilitate the patient's involvement, to the best of their ability, for the duration of the trial; caregivers must also be able and willing to provide information about themselves and the patient for the duration of the trial.
  • Aged ≥ 18 at the time of informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • Any contraindication or unwillingness to undergo an MRI.
  • Obstructive hydrocephalus, presence of a functional ventriculoperitoneal shunt for the drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or an implanted central nervous system (CNS) catheter.
  • Known brain or spinal disease that would interfere with the LP process, CSF circulation or safety assessment.
