Fosigotifator is an investigational drug being researched for the treatment of Vanishing White Matter disease in adult, pediatric and infant participants. This is a 201-week, open-label, multiple cohort study enrolling adults, pediatric and infant participants with Vanishing White Matter disease.
Participants will attend regular visits during the course of the study and complete medical assessments, blood tests, questionnaires, and be evaluated for side effects.
39 studies on the registry are indexed under Leukoencephalopathies; 16 are open to participants now.

Inclusion Criteria:
Subject must have VWM disease defined as:
Subjects in Cohorts 1, 1b, 2, and 3 must meet criteria a and at least 1 of the other criteria listed below (b or c):
All age groups:
Inability to walk 10 or more steps with or without light support of 2 hands
- Cognitive criteria as defined below (Note: Subjects are not required to complete testing if they meet the motor criteria or if they are able to provide source documentation of prior cognitive testing performed by a qualified psychologist and meeting eligibility criteria obtained in the past 12 months):
Adults and adolescents ≥16 y of age must have:
A perceptual reasoning index \<50 (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, fourth edition [WAIS-IV])
Adolescents and children ≥6 y and \<16 y of age must have:
A visuospatial reasoning index \<50 (block design, visual puzzles, Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children performance, fifth edition [WISC-V]) AND A fluid reasoning index \<50 (matrix reasoning, figure weights, WISC-V). Note: At the Sponsor's discretion, pediatric subjects \<16 y of age who are unable to complete the subtests for calculating BOTH indices of the WISC-V due to functional impairment (e.g., due to fine motor or visual impairment) may meet inclusion criteria by a score \<50 on either the visuospatial reasoning index OR the fluid reasoning index of the WISC-V.
Pediatric subjects in Cohort 4 must meet both criteria a and b below, or criterion c:
Medical history of at least 1 neurological symptom that is assessed by the investigator as having a reasonable possibility of being related to VWM disease
Motor criteria as defined below:
More than minimal head control as demonstrated by:
While in prone position, the subject can lift his/her head and sustain the position for 10 seconds and bring his/her arms actively to weight bearing in that position Presymptomatic and homozygous for Cree Leukoencephalopathy (EIF2B5 R195H) or other mutation with known imminent risk of significant clinical decline or death (sponsor must be notified and provide approval prior to screening and enrolling a patient that meets eligibility with only this criterion).
An MRI presentation consistent with VWM disease is not required for Cohort 5. Exclusion Criteria
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.
The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.
