On This Episode We Discuss:
5:40 - What is the frequency range of intrathecal and/or LP administrations? Do the treatments not typically cross the blood brain barrier?
7:06 - How do you administer the ASO to animals - is it according to how you plan to administer to the patient?
7:36 - How do you evaluate the potential on-target toxicity if the nonclinical species does not contain the targeted sequence?
9:35 - How often is safety monitored? Is it only monitored quarterly at the Data/Drug Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) meetings?
11:03 - How long after an ASO is developed for one child, is it offered to other children? Of course, we know that they will have to submit an application.
