A Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Initial Efficacy of JWK008 in Patients With Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I

A Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Initial Efficacy of JWK008 Given by a Single Intravenous Infusion in Patients With Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I

This study is a single-center, single-arm, non-randomized, open-label, non controlled, dose-escalation, prospective clinical trial designed to assess the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of JWK008 injection in patients with MPS I.

Study Overview

• Status: Recruiting
• Conditions: Mucopolysaccharidosis Type I
• Intervention / Treatment: Genetic: JWK008 Single intravenous infusion administration

Detailed Description

MPS I is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by deficiency of the α-L-iduronidase (IDUA) gene, which encodes a lysosomal enzyme required for degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).While currently available therapies, enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), provide clinical benefit over untreated disease progression,they still have significant limitations. ERT does not cross the blood-brain barrier and, therefore, does not treat the central nervous system (CNS) effects of the disease. And HSCT, although it can prevent cognitive decline in patients, has a high mortality rate and morbidity. The investigators have designed a novel IDUA fusion protein with the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier through the addition of the brain-targeting peptide Mtfp. On this basis, the investigators constructed an IDUA gene expression cassette for liver-targeted expression, and used a highly efficient liver-specific promoter to make the IDUA gene specifically and efficiently expressed in liver tissue, and the expressed protein can enter the central nervous system to exert therapeutic effects.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: JWK008 injection; The participants will be given 5.0×10^12vg/kg or 2.0×10^13vg/kg body weight of JWK008	Genetic: JWK008 Single intravenous infusion administration; Six participants with MPS I will be enrolled in the study. The participantss will be divided into two different dose groups, and a "3+3" dose escalation design is used. The low dose is 5.0×10^12vg/kg, and the high dose is 2.0×10^13vg/kg. Only one intravenous infusion of JWK008 will be administered to each participant.
