Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 1 year to 12 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • The participant has a parent, caregiver or legal representative (hereinafter "caregiver") who is reliable, competent and at least 18 years of age. The caregiver is willing and able to accompany the participant to clinic visits and to be available to the Investigational Site by phone or email if needed and who (in the opinion of the Investigator) is and will remain sufficiently knowledgeable of participant's ongoing condition to respond to any inquiries about the participant from personnel from the Study Site.
  • A caregiver must be able to consent for the participant according to International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) and local regulations.
  • Ability to comply with all study requirements.
  • Have adequate supportive psychosocial circumstances.
  • Able to tolerate blood draws.
  • Able to undergo lumbar puncture (LP) and IT injection, under sedation or anesthesia if needed and as determined appropriate by the Investigator.
Show all 21Show fewer
  • Stable medical status for at least 4 weeks prior to Screening and at the time of enrollment.
  • Body weight of ≥ 7 kg
  • Participant must be ≥ 1 to ≤ 12 years of age at the time of signing of the informed consent by the caregiver.
  • Clinical diagnosis of AS confirmed by a molecular diagnosis with genotypic classification of either Ubiquitin-protein ligase E3A (UBE3A) mutation of the maternal allele or deletion on the maternally inherited chromosome 15q11q13 that includes the UBE3A gene and is less than 7 megabyte (Mb) in size.
  • Reproductive Status:
  • Some of the provisions that follow may have limited applicability based on the age range of study participants (i.e., up to the age of 12) and the nature of the disease understudy. These provisions are nonetheless included for purposes of completeness in order:
  • Female Participants
  • A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
  • Women of non-childbearing potential.
  • Women of childbearing potential who agree to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use acceptable contraceptive methods during the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the final dose of RO7248824 (RG6091). The following are acceptable contraceptive methods: bilateral tubal occlusion/ ligation, male sexual partner who is sterilized, established proper use of hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices and copper intrauterine devices, male or female condom with or without spermicide; and cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide.
  • Male Participants
  • During the treatment period and for at least 6 months after the final dose of RO7248824 (RG6091), consent has to be provided to:
  • Remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive measures such as a condom, with a female partner of childbearing potential, or pregnant female partner, to avoid exposing the embryo.
  • The reliability of sexual abstinence for male and/or female enrollment eligibility needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical study and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or post-ovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of preventing drug exposure.
  • Current or prior participations in the LTE part of Study BP41674.

Who cannot join

  • Clinically relevant hematological, hepatic, cardiac or renal disease or event, in the judgement of the Investigator.
  • Any concomitant condition that might interfere with the clinical evaluation of AS and that is not related to AS.

About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Multicenter Study to Investigate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of RO7248824 in Participants With Angelman Syndrome

This is a phase I, multicenter, non-randomized, adaptive, open-label, multiple ascending, intra-participant, dose-escalation study with a long-term extension (LTE) part and an optional open-label extension (OOE) part. The objective of the study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, PK and PD of RO7248824 administered intrathecally (IT) in participants with AS. Two linked sets of dose escalation cohorts are planned based on two different age groups, namely participants with AS aged ≥ 5 to ≤ 12 years in cohorts A1 to A5 (with at least 2 participants ≤ 8 years old in each cohort) and AS participants aged ≥ 1 to ≤ 4 years in cohorts B1 to B5. The two sets of cohorts will be run in parallel, with each cohort A1 to A5 preceding and gating the linked cohort B1 to B5 (e.g., A1 precedes B1).

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • RO7248824Drug

    In the MAD part, RO7248824 will be administered as IT injection of varing dose levels over a period of 8 weeks, with a minimum of approximately 4 weeks between each dose administration. In the LTE part, RO7248824 will be administered as IT injection of varying dose levels over a period of 144 weeks, with a minimum of approximately 16 weeks between each dose administration.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing RO7248824 in people with Angelman Syndrome, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 12 sites in 4 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 21 inclusion and 26 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Aug 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 12 sites in United States, Spain, Italy, Netherlands. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events (AEs) (time frame: Baseline to last visit or early withdrawal). The study lists 11 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04428281, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Aug 2025.
