A Phase 1/2 Study of NRTX-1001 Neuronal Cell Therapy in Drug-Resistant Bilateral Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (MTLE)
Neurona Therapeutics
Summary
This is a multicenter, single arm, open label clinical trial that is designed to test the safety and preliminary efficacy of single administration inhibitory nerve cells called interneurons (NRTX-1001), into both temporal lobes of subjects with drug-resistant bilateral mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.
Description
This is a multicenter, single arm, open-label study of NRTX-1001 in subjects with drug-resistant bilateral MTLE, with the objective of evaluating safety and preliminary efficacy in reducing seizure frequency. The subjects will undergo a single stereotactic CT or MRI-guided intracerebral administration of human interneurons into both temporal lobe regions of the brain. NRTX-1001 secretes the inhibitory neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is intended to suppress the onset and spread of the seizures. Safety, tolerability, and effects on epilepsy disease symptoms will be assesse…
