Wilson's Disease
Conditions
Brief summary
The objectives of this clinical trial are to assess, for up to 5 years, the safety, tolerability and pharmacological activity of a single ascending doses of VTX-801, a gene therapy, administered intravenously (IV) to adult patients with Wilson's Disease prior to and following background WD therapy withdrawal.
Interventions
The investigational medicinal product (VTX-801) is a replication-deficient recombinant adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV) consisting of an AAV liver tropic capsid containing a single-stranded DNA genome carrying a shortened version of the ATP7B gene (ATP7B-minigene). After reconstitution VTX-801 will be administered as a single dose intravenous (IV) administration per patient, at up to 3 different dose levels.

|---|---|---|
| Safety and Tolerability Profile (Including Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE)) - Number of Participants | through primary completion visit, an average of 1 year | AEs will be summarized based on the date of onset for the event. Number of treatment-emergent AEs will be provided by SOC and PT, by dose cohort and overall. |

|---|---|---|
| Free Serum Cu | through primary completion visit, an average of 1 year | Free serum Cu will be summarized descriptively for all patients by dose cohort and planned visit, for absolute values and changes from baseline. |
| Total Serum Cu | through primary completion visit, an average of 1 year | Total serum Cu will be summarized descriptively for all patients by dose cohort and planned visit, for absolute values and changes from baseline. |
| 24-hour Urinary Cu | through primary completion visit, an average of 1 year | 24-hour urinary Cu will be summarized descriptively for all patients by dose cohort and planned visit, for absolute values and changes from baseline. |
| Serum Ceruloplasmin Activity (Enzymatic Assay) | through primary completion visit, an average of 1 year | Serum ceruloplasmin will be summarized descriptively for all patients by dose cohort and planned visit, for absolute values and changes from baseline. |
| VTX-801 Responder Status | At Week 12 and Week 36 | The number of Responders and Insufficient-Responders will be summarized by dose cohort and planned visit, with response to treatment. Responder status was assessed using radiocopper blood PK results and other cold copper parameters if needed. |

Pre-assignment details
The study was prematurely terminated by the Sponsor for futility reasons, after insufficient pharmacodynamic response in cohorts 1 and 2. No further patient enrollment occurred after this date. The 4 treated patients entered the long-term follow-up (LTFU) up to 5 years post injection, thus 2 sites remain active. An abbreviated CSR was issued including all data until early termination (an average of 1 year). The LTFU results will be provided in a separate addendum at the end of 2029.
