Detailed Description

RP-A501-0123 is a Phase 2 global, multi-center, single arm, open-label, single dose trial in males with Danon disease. The study is designed to assess the efficacy and safety of a single intravenous dose of RP-A501 in treating the cardiomyopathy associated with Danon disease.

RP-A501-0123 will enroll subjects ≥ 8 years of age with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic LAMP2 variant. The trial will include a total of 5 years of follow-up after administration of RP-A501.

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.

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: RP-A501

A single intravenous infusion of RP-A501 in cohorts of subjects with a confirmed diagnosis of Danon disease.
Genetic: RP-A501

RP-A501 is a gene therapy product consisting of an rAAV9 capsid containing the human LAMP2B transgene which will be administered as a single IV infusion.

Dose of RP-A501: Cohorts 1, 2 & 3 = 6.7 x10^13 genome copies (GC)/kg; Cohort 4 = 3.8 x10^13 GC/kg.

An immunomodulation regimen is initiated before RP-A501 administration to reduce the risk of gene therapy-related complications. The regimen includes rituximab or a biosimilar, administered in two doses for Cohorts 1-3 and three doses for Cohort 4, along with sirolimus and corticosteroids. Pegcetacoplan was incorporated into the immunomodulation regimen for Cohort 3 but excluded in Cohort 4.

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.
