Hemophilia B
Conditions
Brief summary
A multicenter, open, non-randomized, phase I/II, two-phase clinical study. The dose exploration phase was phase I, and the dose extension phase was phase II.
Detailed description
Hemophilia B is a genetic bleeding disorder caused by pathogenic variants (eg, mutations, deletion) in the FIX gene. HB patients have frequent and potentially life-threatening bleeding and often develop progressive physical disability and pain from chronic haemarthropathy. Current replacement therapy needs regular treatment in the life-long time, bringing heavy economic and social burdens. VGB-R04 is a novel AAV vector carrying a high specific activity factor IX variant. This study is intended to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a single IV infusion of VGB-R04. All subjects in this study will provide informed consent and then undergo screening assessments up to 6 weeks before administration of VGB-R04. All subjects will undergo 52 weeks of safety observation and will be encouraged to enroll in an Long-term follow-up study to evaluate the long-term safety of VGB-R04 for a total of five years.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence of adverse events | Baseline up to Week 52 | An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical investigation participant administered a product; the event will not need to have a causal relationship with the treatment. |
| Incidence of serious adverse events | Baseline up to Week 52 | A serious adverse event (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence at any dose that resulted in death; life threatening;require inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; result in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; result in congenital anomaly/birth defect |
| FIX:C Antigen Level at Steady State | Baseline up to Week 52 | FIX:C activity antigen levels were characterized by post-treatment population mean. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| FIX:C activity level | Baseline up to Week 52 | FIX:C activity change from baseline during each visit. |
| Annualized FIX consumption changes from baseline | Baseline up to Week 52 | The annualized use of FIX replacement therapy will be calculated. |
| Vector- derived FIX antigen levels | Baseline up to Week 52 | The vector-derived endogenous (not affected by intercurrent FIX product infusions) FIX:C activity antigen levels will be characterized by post-treatment population mean, and its change from baseline during each visit. |
| Annualized bleeding rate changes from baseline | Baseline up to Week 52 | The annualized numberof bleeding episodes. |
