Conditions

Wilson's Disease

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

GENETICVTX-801

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.

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.
