Purpose of the Study

A Phase 2 open-label study evaluating the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of AL001 in participants with a Granulin mutation or C9orf72 mutation causative of frontotemporal dementia (FTD).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • At screening, female participants must be nonpregnant and nonlactating
  • In good physical health on the basis of no clinically significant findings from medical history, physical examinations (PEs), laboratory tests, ECGs, and vital signs
  • Participant is a carrier of a loss of function progranulin gene (GRN) mutation or carrier of a hexanucleotide repeat expansion C9orf72 mutation

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known history of severe allergic, anaphylactic, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric, human, or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins
  • History of alcohol abuse or substance abuse
  • Participant resides in a skilled nursing facility, convalescent home, or long term care facility

What to Expect

Testing: Neurological and physical examinations, cognitive testing and neuropsychiatric assessments, telephone calls, blood and urine specimen collection, and vital signs

The Frequency of Visits: Every 4 weeks for up to 96 weeks

Materials Needed Before Evaluation: Genetic testing for a loss of function progranulin gene (GRN) mutation or carrier of a hexanucleotide repeat expansion C9orf72 mutation

Costs: No costs will be charged for any of the study procedures. Parking will be validated at UCSF public garages for all study visits.
