What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing iluzanebart, a medication given through infusions, in adults with a specific genetic mutation causing ALSP, a rare brain disease. The goal is to see if the medication is safe and can slow down the disease by looking at brain scans and other health markers. Participants will receive the treatment regularly for a year, with an option to continue for additional years.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the study team or your doctor.

What makes the drug VGL101 unique for treating leukoencephalopathy?

There is no specific information available about VGL101 in the provided research articles, so its unique aspects compared to other treatments for leukoencephalopathy are not detailed. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with a specific brain condition called ALSP, confirmed by MRI and genetic testing showing a CSF1R gene mutation. Participants must have someone to report on their health status. Those with other neurological conditions that could confuse study results or pose significant risks are excluded.

Inclusion Criteria

I have a documented CSF1R gene mutation.

Participants must have a study partner willing to provide accurate information about the participant's health and cognitive abilities

I have symptoms and MRI results that match ALSP.

Exclusion Criteria

I have a neurological condition that might be similar to or increase the risk of ALSP.

Participants with conditions that may place them at significant risk or interfere with study participation.
