Safety and Efficacy of rAAV-hRS1 in Patients With X-linked Retinoschisis (XLRS)

June 8, 2023 updated by: Applied Genetic Technologies Corp

A Multiple-Site, Phase 1/2, Safety and Efficacy Trial of a Recombinant Adeno-associated Virus Vector Expressing Retinoschisin (rAAV2tYF-CB-hRS1) in Patients With X-linked Retinoschisis

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a recombinant adeno-associated virus vector expressing retinoschisin (rAAV2tYF-CB-hRS1) in patients with X-linked retinoschisis. Up to 27 participants will be enrolled and 3 dose levels will be evaluated in a dose escalation format.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This will be a non-randomized, open label, Phase 1/2 dose escalation study.

Up to 27 participants will be enrolled. Each participant will receive the study agent by intravitreal injection in one eye on a single occasion. Enrollment will begin with the lowest dose and will proceed to higher doses only after review of safety data by a Data and Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC). Participants in the dose escalation phase will be ≥ 18 years of age. After the maximum tolerated dose is identified individuals ≥ 6 years of age will be enrolled.

Safety will be measured by the number and proportion of participants experiencing adverse events and immune response to RS1. Efficacy will be measured by evaluation of changes in visual function and schisis cavity size.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

2 years and older (Child, Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria include:

  1. Retinal disease consistent with a diagnosis of XLRS and documented mutations in the RS1 gene
  2. Male individual at least 18 years of age (dose escalation phase) or at least 6 years of age (maximum tolerated dose phase),
  3. Able to perform tests of visual and retinal function,
  4. Visual acuity specified for each group
  5. Not treated with CAIs currently or within 3 months prior to study enrollment,
  6. Have acceptable laboratory parameters.

Exclusion Criteria include:

  1. Prior receipt of any AAV gene therapy product,
  2. Pre-existing eye conditions that would preclude the planned intravitreal injection or interfere with interpretation of study endpoints or complications of vector administration.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events
Time Frame: From Day 0 to Month 12 (12 months)
Number of participants with ocular adverse events, assessed by standard ophthalmic examination, including slit lamp biomicroscopy, tonometry, and indirect ophthalmoscopy.
From Day 0 to Month 12 (12 months)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Best Corrected Visual Acuity (BCVA)
Time Frame: From Day 0 to Month 12 (12 Months)
Change in ETDRS (Early Treatment of Diabetic Retinopathy) Letter Score. Minimum value=0; Maximum value=100. Higher scores indicate better visual acuity. Change = 12 Mo value - Baseline value
From Day 0 to Month 12 (12 Months)
Change From Baseline in Schisis Cavity Size on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Time Frame: From Day 0 to Month 12 (12 months)
Change in cystic cavity volume (mm^3), obtained from spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) of the retina, yielding volumetric measures of schisis cavity size and total cyst cavity. Change = 12 Mo value - Baseline value
