Inclusion criteria

  • Provide written before any assessment is performed.
  • Be male or female and 18 to 60 (inclusive) years of age at the time of screening.
  • Participant must have a clinical diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 1A (CMT1A) including verified documentation of genetic testing showing duplication of the PMP22 gene by an accredited/certified laboratory (according to local regulations)
  • Have detectable upper extremity nerve conduction velocities (sensory and/or motor) in at least one extremity at screening.
  • CMTNSv2R score >2 and ≤20 in at least one assessment, confirmed either at the baseline visit or documented in the medical record within the 6 months prior to baseline.
  • Muscle weakness evidenced by foot dorsiflexion MRC grade \<5 in at least one limb, confirmed either at screening assessment or documented in the medical record within the 6 months prior to screening.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria

  • Unable to communicate well with the investigator, to understand and comply with the visits and procedures of the study.
  • History of cardiac, renal, liver, hematological, immune system disorders.
  • Pregnant/nursing female participants. Women of , defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using highly effective methods of during dosing and for the duration of the follow-up period. Sexually active males unless they use a condom during intercourse.
  • Inability or unwillingness to provide serial skin samples.
  • Inability or unwillingness to undergo repeated venipuncture or in the opinion of the investigator, participant would be at an increased risk for adverse events related to these procedures.
  • Use of any drug intended to modify the course of CMT1A within 6 months from screening, including but not limited to: PTX-3003 (baclofen, sorbitol, and naltrexone in combination).
  • History of compression neuropathy within the last 6 months from screening and/or other conditions that can cause peripheral neuropathy, including but not limited to diabetes, chronic alcoholism, exposure to neurotoxic medications, exposure to environmental neurotoxins, traumatic nerve injury, thyroid disease, or infections.

Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

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.

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.

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.

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.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Incidence of AEs and SAEs by treatment group, including changes in vital signs, laboratory measures, neurological examinations and electrophysiology measures qualifying and reported as AEs.

    Time frame: From baseline up to day 140

Secondary outcomes

  1. EDK060 Plasma PK parameters - Cmax

    The maximum (peak) observed EDK060 plasma concentration after single dose administration (mass x volume-1)

    Time frame: From baseline up to day 140

  2. EDK060 Plasma PK parameters - Tmax

    The time to reach maximum (peak) plasma, EDK060 concentration after single dose administration (time)

    Time frame: From baseline up to day 140

  3. EDK060 Plasma PK parameters - AUClast

    The area under the concentration-time curve of EDK060 from time zero to the last measurable concentration sampling time (tlast) (mass x time x volume-1)

    Time frame: From baseline up to day 140

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 Jul 29, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
