Study Overview

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about a study drug that may affect patients with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3). This type of drug is called an antisense oligonucleotide. Eligible participants in this study will have the study drug injected into the fluid surrounding their spinal cord and brain through a fine needle placed in the spinal canal in the lower back.
