Open-label Extension (OLE) Study of WVE-004 in Patients With C9orf72-associated Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and/or Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD)
Stopped: Despite robust, sustained reductions in poly(GP), no clinical benefit was seen at 24 weeks, and reductions in poly(GP) were not associated with stabilization in functional outcomes. Based on these data, Wave decided to stop development of WVE-004.

Plain-language summary
This is an OLE study conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and clinical effects of WVE-004 in adult patients with ALS, FTD, or mixed ALS/FTD phenotype with a documented mutation in the C9orf72 gene. To participate in the study, patients must have successfully completed Phase 1b/2a WVE-004-001 study.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patient successfully completed the Phase 1b/2a study with WVE-004, WVE-004-001.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patient has a clinically significant medical finding on the physical examination other than C9orf72-associated ALS or FTD that, in the judgment of the Investigator or Sponsor, will make the patient unsuitable for participation in and/or completion of the trial procedures.
* Patient received any other investigational drug, biological agent, or device within 1 month or 5 half-lives of study agent, whichever is longer. Patient received an investigational oligonucleotide within the past 6 months or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever is longer.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
