Individualized Therapeutics in Rare Genetic Disease

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to identify patients with rare genetic disorders that may potentially benefit from an ASO therapeutic based on the characteristics of their genetic disease and the causative genetic alterations and seek the research and development opportunities to have them developed, to have the safety and toxicity studies performed with the ultimate goal of treating the individual in a future N of 1 clinical trial.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Has Mayo Clinic or other medical health system ID, or another unique identifier.
  • Able to provide informed consent.
  • Individual must have evidence of a genetic disorder as determined by a provider or genetic counselor with causative or likely causative genetic variants identified by molecular testing.
  • Genetic variants must be hypothesized to be targetable using antisense oligonucleotide drugs (such as: knockdown gain of function alterations, increase protein production for reduced function alterations, or modulate mRNA splicing to correct abnormal splicing, promote normal splicing, or return reading frame to an out-of-frame transcript to restore function, etc.) based on current acceptable understanding of ASO mechanisms of action and tissue/organ targeting efficiency.
  • Biological family member of an enrolled individual.
  • Would be able to travel to a Mayo Clinic site for ongoing treatment should a therapeutic be developed.
  • Treatment at the individual’s current disease state would likely provide benefit based on current clinical data and understanding of the progression of the disease.

 Exclusion Criteria

  • Individuals who have situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements.
  • Institutionalized (i.e., Federal Medical Prison).
