Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Complete treatment in Study CAEB1102-101A without experiencing any adverse event or other unmanageable drug toxicity that would preclude continued dosing
  2. Confirmation by the Investigator and the Sponsor determine that it is acceptable for the patient to continue dosing with AEB1102
  3. If female and of , has a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before enrollment
  4. If sexually active (male or female), must be surgically sterile, (female), or must agree to use a physician-approved method of during the study and for a minimum of 30 days after the last study drug administration
  5. Patient or legal guardian is able and willing to provide written and where required assent, and to comply with all requirements of study participation (including all study procedures and continuation of prescribed diet without modification), prior to any screening procedures

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

1. concurrent disease, serious intercurrent illness, or other extenuating circumstances

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

  1. Plasma Arginine Levels

    Change in plasma arginine concentrations from study Baseline

    Time frame: From start of study up to 240 weeks

  2. Plasma GC Levels (Argininic Acid)

    Change in plasma argininic acid concentrations from study Baseline

    Time frame: From start of study up to 240 weeks

  3. Plasma GC Levels (Guanidinoacetic Acid)

    Change in plasma guanidinoacetic acid concentrations from study Baseline

    Time frame: From start of study up to 240 weeks

  4. Plasma GC Levels (α-keto-δ-guanidinovaleric Acid)

    Change in plasma α-keto-δ-guanidinovaleric acid concentrations from study Baseline

    Time frame: From start of study up to 240 weeks

  5. Plasma GC Levels (α-N-acetylarginine)

    Change in plasma α-N-acetylarginine concentrations from study Baseline

    Time frame: From start of study up to 240 weeks

  6. Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)

    Change in 6MWT distance from study Baseline

    Time frame: From start of study up to 262 weeks

  7. Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) Part D

    Change from study Baseline. The GMFM-D evaluates the patient's ability to stand via assessment of 13 activities, each of which is scored on a scale of 0 to 3, with a scale range of 0-39 points. An increase in GMFM-D score indicates improvement in standing.

    Time frame: From start of study up to 262 weeks

  8. Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) Part E

    Change from study Baseline. The GMFM-E evaluates a subject's ability to walk, run, and jump via assessment of 24 activities, each of which is scored on a scale of 0 to 3, , with a scale range of 0-72. A higher GMFM-E score indicates greater ability, with increasing scores indicating improvement in walking, running, and jumping.

    Time frame: From start of study up to 262 weeks

  9. Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)

    Spasticity improvement for lower body muscle groups based on MAS from study Baseline. The MAS is used to measure the resistance to passive movement about a joint due to spasticity using a 6-point scoring scale with possible values of 0, 1, 1+ (scored as 1.5), 2, 3, and 4, where 0 is no increase in muscle tone (no spasticity) and 4 is affected part(s) rigid in flexion or extension (total rigidity). Thus, a decrease in MAS score indicates improvement in spasticity.

    Time frame: From start of study up to 262 weeks

  10. Berg Balance Scale (BBS)

    Change from study Baseline. The BBS, a measure of balance, utilizes a 5-point scoring scale of 0 (indicating the lowest level of function) to 4 (indicating the highest level of function) for 14 tasks, giving a scale range of 0-56, with a higher score representing better balance.

    Time frame: From start of study up to 262 weeks

  11. Purdue Pegboard Test (Dominant Hand)

    Change from study Baseline. The Purdue Pegboard Test evaluates manipulative dexterity and bimanual coordination, measuring performance speed in a fine motor task via gross movements of the arms, hands, and fingers, as well as fine motor extremity dexterity. A higher Purdue Pegboard Test score indicates better dexterity and coordination. Scores were compared to normative data, compiled from healthy individuals, to produce a Z-score (0 being population mean). A positive Z-score indicates the raw score is higher than the mean average; a negative Z-score indicates the raw score is below the mean average.

    Time frame: From start of study up to 262 weeks

  12. Purdue Pegboard Test (Non-dominant Hand)

    Change from study Baseline. The Purdue Pegboard Test evaluates manipulative dexterity and bimanual coordination, measuring performance speed in a fine motor task via gross movements of the arms, hands, and fingers, as well as fine motor extremity dexterity. A higher Purdue Pegboard Test score indicates better dexterity and coordination. Scores were compared to normative data, compiled from healthy individuals, to produce a Z-score (0 being population mean). A positive Z-score indicates the raw score is higher than the mean average; a negative Z-score indicates the raw score is below the mean average.

    Time frame: From start of study up to 262 weeks

  13. Number of Participants With Hyperammonemic Episodes

    Hyperammonemic episodes" are defined as either an AE for which an Investigator observed symptoms considered to be consistent with a "hyperammonemic episode", or an AE in a patient meeting all 3 of the following criteria: 1. Confirmed ammonia level ≥100 μM, 2. One or more symptoms related to hyperammonemia, 3. Requiring hospitalization or emergency room management.

    Time frame: From study start up to 262 weeks

  14. Number of Participants With Seizures

    Time frame: From study start up to 262 weeks

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 24, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
