Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of multiple ascending doses of BIIB132 administered via intrathecal (IT) injection to participants with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). The secondary objective of this study is to characterize the multiple-dose pharmacokinetics (PK) of BIIB132 administered via IT injection to participants with SCA3.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 3 Drug: BIIB132 Drug: BIIB132-Matching Placebo Phase 1

Detailed Description:
BIIB132 is an investigational anti-sense oligonucleotide developed to target ataxin-3 (ATXN3) pre-messenger ribonucleic acid (pre-mRNA). Preclinical studies have shown that lowering of ATXN3 protein is associated with decreased progression of SCA3-like disease. This trial consists of a blinded 12 week study period with a 26 week follow up period to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intrathecal BIIB132 and to assess the effect on treatment response biomarkers in symptomatic SCA3 participants.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Number of Participants with Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Day 1 to Day 267 ]
    An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product and that does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal (investigational) product, whether or not related to the medicinal (investigational) product.

  2. Number of Participants with Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) [ Time Frame: Screening to Day 267 ]
    A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose results in death, in the view of the investigator, places the participant at immediate risk of death (a-life threatening event), requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect or is a medically important event.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of BIIB132 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple timepoints post-dose on Day 1 up to Day 85 ]
  2. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve, from Time of Dosing (Time = 0) to Infinity (AUCinf) of BIIB132 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple timepoints post-dose on Day 1 up to Day 85 ]
  3. Area Under the Concentration Versus Time Curve, from Time of Dosing (Time = 0) to Time of the Last Measurable Effect (AUClast) of BIIB132 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple timepoints post-dose on Day 1 up to Day 85 ]
  4. Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of BIIB132 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple timepoints post-dose on Day 1 up to Day 85 ]
  5. Time to Reach Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of BIIB132 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple timepoints post-dose on Day 1 up to Day 85 ]
  6. Elimination Half-Life (t½) of BIIB132 [ Time Frame: Pre-dose and at multiple timepoints post-dose on Day 1 up to Day 85 ]

  • Evidence of untreated/unstable thyroid disease.
  • Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus.
  • History of alcohol or substance abuse within the past year prior to screening.

  • Prior enrollment in any interventional clinical study in which an investigational treatment or approved therapy for investigational use is administered within 5 half-lives or 3 months, whichever is longer, prior to the screening visit.
  • Any antiplatelet [except for aspirin up to 100 milligrams per day (mg/day)] or anticoagulant medication that cannot be safely interrupted for an lumbar puncture (LP) procedure.
  • Any contraindications to LP procedures.
  • Participants who are pregnant or currently breastfeeding and those intending to become pregnant during the study.
  • Prior enrollment in any interventional clinical study in which an investigational treatment or approved therapy for investigational use is administered within 3 months prior to screening visit.
