  • Diagnosis of PMD with genetic confirmation of PLP1 gene duplication.
  • Clinical phenotype and brain imaging consistent with a diagnosis of PMD.
  • Male between the ages of 2 and 17 years, inclusive, at the time of informed consent.

  • Any contraindication or unwillingness to undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
  • Treatment with another investigational drug, biological agent, or device within 1 month of Screening, or 5 half-lives of the investigational agent, whichever is longer.
  • Previous treatment with an oligonucleotide (including small interfering ribonucleic acid) within 4 months of Screening if a single dose was received, or within 12 months of Screening if multiple doses were received. This exclusion does not apply to vaccines (both messenger ribonucleic acid \[mRNA\] and viral vector vaccines).
  • History of gene therapy or cell transplantation, or any experimental brain surgery.
  • Current obstructive hydrocephalus.
  • Known brain or spinal disease or previous spinal surgery that would interfere with the lumbar puncture (LP) process, CSF circulation, or safety assessment.
  • Hospitalization for any major medical or surgical procedure involving general anesthesia within 12 weeks prior to Screening or planned during the study.
