Brief summary

This is an open-label, single-dose, multi-center, multinational trial to demonstrate the efficacy of AMT-061 and to further describe its safety profile. The study drug is identified as AAV5-hFIXco-Padua (AMT- 061). AMT-061 is a recombinant adeno-associated viral vector of serotype 5 (AAV5) containing the Padua variant of a codon-optimized human FIX complementary deoxyribonucleic acid (cDNA) under the control of a liver-specific promoter. The pharmaceutical form of AMT-061 is a solution for intravenous infusion administered at a dose of 2 x 10\^13 gc/kg.

Interventions

Single intravenous infusion of AAV5-hFIXco-Padua (AMT-061)

BIOLOGICALFactor IX (FIX)

During the lead-in phase, which lasted for a minimum of 26 weeks (i.e., ≥6 months), subjects recorded their use of FIX replacement therapy and bleeding episodes in their dedicated e-diary.

Annualized Bleeding Rate (ABR) for All Bleeding Episodes

ABR was calculated as the ratio of the number of bleeds to the number of days in the time interval multiplied by 365.25.

Time frame: Lead-in period and months 7-18 post-treatment of AMT-061

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) included all subjects who were enrolled, entered the lead-in phase, were dosed with AMT-061, and provided at least 1 efficacy endpoint assessment for any efficacy endpoint subsequent to AMT-061 dosing. Subjects who were Lead-in Discontinuers were not included in the FAS.
