Tianasen (ASO-GNAO1) for GNAO1-Encephalopathy With Epilepsy and Movement Disorders.

An Open-Label, Non-Randomized Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of ASO-GNAO1 (Tianasen) in Patients With GNAO1-Encephalopathy With Epilepsy and Movement Disorders Following Repeated Intrathecal Dose Escalation.

Tianasen (ASO-GNAO1) for GNAO1-Encephalopathy With Epilepsy and Movement Disorders. (NCT07363603) is a Phase 1 / Phase 2 interventional studying GNAO1 and Epilepsy, sponsored by Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the investigational drug ASO-GNAO1 (Tianasen) in pediatric patients with c.607G\>A mutation in the GNAO1 gene associated with epilepsy and neurodevelopmental disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does intrathecal administration of ASO-GNAO1 slow or halt the progression of motor and cognitive symptoms? 2. Is ASO-GNAO1 safe and well-tolerated in this patient population? 3. What is the appropriate therapeutic dose? This is an open-label study without a placebo control group due to the rare and severe nature of the disease. All participants will receive the active drug. Participants will: Receive escalating doses of ASO-GNAO1 via intrathecal injection over a 12-month period. Undergo frequent neurological assessments, biomarker testing, and safety monitoring.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For GNAO1, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 5 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - willing to sign a consent form: Written willing to sign a consent form from the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of the patient and the child's assent (where applicable based on age and cognitive ability), obtained prior to the initiation of any study-related procedures. - Age: Male or female children aged 1 year and older (≥1 year) until 14 years at the time of willing to sign a consent form signing. - Diagnosis: A confirmed a c.607G\>A variant in of GNAO1 gene based on genetic testing, and a clinical presentation that includes both epilepsy and movement disorders. - Treatment Resistance: - For seizures: Documented resistance to antiseizure medications prior to screening, defined as the persistence of seizures despite adequate trials of at least two appropriately dosed antiseizure medications. - For non-epileptic hyperkinesias/dystonia: Documented resistance to anti-hyperkinetic medications prior to screening, defined as the persistence of debilitating hyperkinesias or dystonic attacks despite adequate trials of at least two appropriately dosed anti-hyperkinetic medications. - Contraception (for females of reproductive potential): For post- menarche female adolescents, a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening and agreement to use highly effective methods of contraception (e.g., hormonal implants, combined oral contraceptives, intrauterine device) throughout the study participation period. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Unacceptable Risk: Any concurrent severe medical, neurological, or psychiatric condition, or any other significant circumstance (e.g., unstable clinical status) that, in the judgment of the Investigator, could significantly increase the risk associated with study participation or the administration of the investigational product, or could interfere with the interpretation of study results. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Inclusion Criteria: * Informed Consent: Written informed consent from the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) of the patient and the child's assent (where applicable based on age and cognitive ability), obtained prior to the initiation of any study-related procedures. * Age: Male or female children aged 1 year and older (≥1 year) until 14 years at the time of informed consent signing. * Diagnosis: A confirmed a c.607G\>A variant in of GNAO1 gene based on genetic testing, and a clinical presentation that includes both epilepsy and movement disorders. * Treatment Resistance: * For seizures: Documented resistance to antiseizure medications prior to screening, defined as the persistence of seizures despite adequate trials of at least two appropriately dosed antiseizure medications. * For non-epileptic hyperkinesias/dystonia: Documented resistance to anti-hyperkinetic medications prior to screening, defined as the persistence of debilitating hyperkinesias or dystonic attacks despite adequate trials of at least two appropriately dosed anti-hyperkinetic medications. * Contraception (for females of reproductive potential): For post- menarche female adolescents, a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening and agreement to use highly effective methods of contraception (e.g., hormonal implants, combined oral contraceptives, intrauterine device) throughout the study participation period. Exclusion Criteria: * Unacceptable Risk: Any concurrent severe medical, neurological, or psychiatric condition, or any other significant circumstance (e.g., unstable clinical status) that, in the judgment of the Investigator, could significantly increase the risk associated with study participation or the administration of the investigational product, or could interfere with the interpretation of study results. * Impossibility of Intervention: Any anatomical abnormality, coagulation disorder, active infection, or other condition that constitutes a contraindication to or precludes the safe performance of repeated lumbar punctures for intrathecal administration of the study drug. * Pregnancy or Lactation: Pregnancy, lactation, or intention to become pregnant during the study period. * Concurrent Experimental Therapy: Receipt of any other investigational drug, device, or biological product within 1 month prior to screening or within a period of at least 5 half-lives of that product (whichever is longer). * Protocol Compliance: Any other disease, condition, or behavioral factor that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could compromise the patient's safety, preclude adherence to the protocol schedule, or interfere with the study conduct and endpoint assessments. Age: 14 years and older

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
