A phase I/II trial investigating a gene therapy (AAV-hFIX) for the first time in humans, in adult patients with severe or moderately severe haemophilia B, to firstly evaluate its safety and identify side effects, and secondly evaluate if it is effective

A phase I/II, open-label, uncontrolled, single-dose, dose-ascending, multi-centre trial investigating an adeno-associated viral vector containing a codon-optimized human factor IX gene (AAV5-hFIX) administered to adult patients with severe or moderately severe haemophilia B - Phase I/II trial of AAV5-hFIX in severe or moderately severe haemophilia B

Positive HIV serological test at Screening, not controlled with anti-viral therapy as shown by CD4+ counts = 200 per µL or by a viral load of >200 copies per mL (measured by the central laboratory) 6. Active infection with Hepatitis B or C virus as reflected by Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg), Hepatitis B extracellular Antigen (HBeAg), Hepatitis B Virus DeoxyriboNucleic Acid (HBV DNA) or Hepatitis C Virus RiboNucleic Acid (HCV RNA) positivity, respectively, at Visit 1Screening (measured by the central laboratory). 7.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To investigate the safety of systemic administration of AAV5-hFIX, an adeno-associated viral vector containing a codon-optimized hFIX gene, to adult patients with severe or moderately severe haemophilia B.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives will be addressing the efficacy and safety of systemic administration of AAV5-hFIX to adult patients with severe or moderately severe haemophilia B: Efficacy Objectives - To investigate the effect of AAV5-hFIX on FIX activity level - To investigate the effect of AAV5-hFIX on the use of FIX replacement therapy - To investigate the effect of AAV5-hFIX on bleeding episodes - To investigate the effect of AAV5-hFIX on quality of life parameters Safety Objectives - To monitor shedding of the vector in various body matrices (i.e. fluids/excretions) - To monitor the immune responses against AAV5 capsid proteins in response to AAV5-hFIX - To monitor for immune responses against FIX protein after administration of AAV5-hFIX - To investigate the effect of AAV5-hFIX on inflammatory markers;Primary end point(s): Adverse events;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The individual subjects will be followed for five years after administration of IMP.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints will be addressing efficacy and safety: Confirmatory Secondary Efficacy Endpoint - FIX-replacement-therapy-free FIX activity Supportive Efficacy Endpoints - Bleeding rate - Total consumption of FIX replacement therapy - Short Form-36 (SF-36) Quality of Life (QoL) scores Safety Endpoints - Vector DNA in semen, blood, saliva, nasal secretions, urine and faeces - Neutralizing antibodies to AAV5 - Total (IgM and IgG) antibodies to AAV5 - AAV5 capsid-specific T cells - Antibodies to FIX - FIX inhibitors - Inflammatory markers: IL-1ß, IL-2, IL-6, INF?, MCP-1;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The individual subjects will be followed for five years after administration of IMP.
