December 2023
Ionis has provided an update on their prion disease clinical trial –
The status of the Ionis Clinical Trial on clinicaltrials.gov is now “Recruiting“.
One site is listed as active and recruiting at this time and that is in the U.S. at the University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center in Ohio.
Key points:
- The clinical trial is for persons in the early stages of active disease.
- Trial sites will be rolled out in phases (not all sites will be live at the same time).
- Ionis does not determine patient eligibility to participate in the clinical trial.
- Refer interested patients to their physician or a clinical trial site to discuss eligibility.
- It will be the determination of the clinical trial sites if they include patients from other countries.
We encourage you to:
- Familiarize yourself with the links within the Community Statement so that you can provide support and information to your patients and families.
- Familiarize yourself with the FAQs included in the Community Statement – we need to provide consistent messaging to our patients and families.
- Share the community statement with your patients and families.
Remember, this is just a first step in a very long process. Research does take time but each step leads us closer to discovery. Regardless of the outcome, this is a positive step for those impacted by prion disease.
The Ionis Clinical Trial is posted on the clinical trials website.
Here is the link: A Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of ION717
The current status is “not yet recruiting”. Even though no sites are open, this is a normal step in the process. You are able to see some of the study criteria and other information.
We will continue to provide you with updates as things progress.
