This is a Phase 2a study to assess the the safety and tolerability of TPN-101 in patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and/or Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) Associated with Hexanucleotide Repeat Expansion in the C9orf72 gene (C9ORF72 ALS/FTD).
This is a Phase 2a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel-group, 2-arm study with a long-term, open-label treatment phase in patients with C9ORF72 ALS and/or FTD. This study includes a 6-week Screening Period, a 24-week Double-blind Treatment Period, a 24-week Open-label Treatment Period, and a Follow-up Visit 4 weeks post-treatment.

Assess the safety and tolerability of TPN-101 in patients with C9ORF72 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)/frontotemporal dementia (FTD)
Incidence and severity of spontaneously reported treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) associated with TPN-101 v. placebo administered for up to 48 weeks in patients with C9ORF72 ALS/FTD
Time frame: 48 weeks
Assess the pharmacokinetics of TPN-101 as measured by concentrations of TPN-101 in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
Time frame: 48 weeks
Assess the pharmacodynamic effect of TPN-101 on neurodegeneration as measured by changes in the levels of CSF and blood neurofilament light (NfL)
Time frame: 48 weeks
Assess the clinical effect of TPN-101 as measured by changes in score on the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale-Revised (ALSFRS-R)
The ALSFRS-R measures speech, salivation, swallowing, handwriting, cutting food and handling utensils (with or without gastrostomy), dressing and hygiene, turning in bed and adjusting bed clothes, walking, climbing, stairs, and breathing. Scores range from 0 to 40, with higher scores indicating that more function is retained.
Time frame: 48 weeks
