ALD (Adrenoleukodystrophy) | Drug: PXL065 | Phase 2 |
A randomized open-label Phase 2a study to assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamic parameters of PXL065 after 12 weeks of treatment in male subjects with adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN).
There will be a total of 3 study periods.
- Screening period of a maximum of 4 weeks prior to the open-label Treatment Period (Baseline Visit - V2). This period can be exceptionally extended for 2 weeks
- Open-label Treatment Period of 12 weeks
- Follow-up Period of 2 weeks after the last intake of the treatment (V5-End of Treatment Visit (EoT)).
During the treatment period, very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) will be assessed every 4 weeks, to evaluate the kinetics of the PXL065 effect. Neurofilament light (NfL) will be assessed after 8 and 12 weeks of treatment, and other exploratory biomarkers after 12 weeks of treatment. A follow up period will allow continued monitoring the subjects' safety and evaluation of the kinetics of the 2 main biomarkers (VLCFA and NfL) at 2 weeks after the last intake of the treatment.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years to 65 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male subjects with either a confirmed diagnosis of AMN by genetic testing (mutation in the ATP binding cassette subfamily D (ABCD1 gene)) or a family history of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) together with an elevation in VLCFA obtained from overnight fasting plasma sample at Screening Visit (V1).
- Age: ≥ 18 to ≤ 65 years at informed consent signature.
- Normal brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or brain MRI showing non-specific abnormalities that can be observed in AMN subjects without signs of cerebral form of ALD (C-ALD). MRI must be performed within 6 months prior to V2. If there is no available brain MRI within this period, a brain MRI must be performed before V2
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any progressive neurological disease other than AMN.
- Arrested or progressing C-ALD as defined by cerebral lesions (except for non-specific abnormalities that can be observed in AMN subjects).
- Prior receipt of an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant or gene therapy
