简要总结
The proposed clinical trial is a double-blind, randomized controlled study with direct intramuscular injection of rAAVrh.74.MHCK7.DYSF.DV gene vector to the extensor digitorum brevis muscle (EDB). Two cohorts of subjects with dysferlin deficiency, each with proven mutations will undergo gene transfer. A minimum of three subjects will be enrolled into each cohort.
详细描述
This is a phase I safety and tolerability study with a direct intramuscular injection of rAAVrh.74.MHCK7.DYSF.DV transferred to the extensor digitorum brevis muscle (EDB). The study is designed as a randomized, controlled, dose escalation trial with one EDB receiving the rAAVrh.74.MHCK7.DYSF.DV and the other side receiving saline alone. It will follow the previously safe and effective IM gene transfer to EDB for LGMD2D.2, 3 The first cohort, inclusive of three Dysferlinopathy subjects, will receive a gene transfer total dose of 2 x 10^12 vector genomes. Muscle biopsies will be performed at Day 45 (two subjects) and Day 90 (one subject). If there are no safety concerns, three additional subjects will be enrolled and receive an escalated dose at 6 X 10^12 vg (total dose). Muscle biopsies in the second cohort will be performed at Day 90 (one subject) and Day 180 (two subjects). This protocol design gives us a maximum period of observation ranging from 6 weeks to 6 months to capture both transient and delayed gene expression, and to recognize sustained expression.

入选标准
- •Must be Non-ambulant (cannot walk 10 meters in ≤ 30 sec) and age 18 years or older
- •Established mutations of the dysferlin gene on both alleles
- •Impaired muscle function but with sufficient muscle preservation to ensure muscle transfection based on magnetic resonance image of the EDB showing sufficient muscle preservation to permit transfection
- •Willingness of sexually active subjects with reproductive capacity to practice reliable method of contraception (If appropriate), during the first six months after gene transfer (females) or until two negative sperm samples are obtained post gene transfer (males).
排除标准
- •Active viral infection based on clinical observations or serological evidence of HIV, or Hepatitis A, B or C infection
- •The presence of a Dysferlin mutations without weakness or loss of function
- •Symptoms or signs of cardiomyopathy, including:
- •Dyspnea on exertion, pedal edema, shortness of breath upon lying flat, or rales at the base of the lungs
- •Echocardiogram with ejection fraction below 40%
- •Diagnosis of (or ongoing treatment for) an autoimmune disease
- •Persistent leukopenia or leukocytosis (WBC ≤ 3.5 K/µL or ≥ 20.0 K/µL) or an absolute neutrophil count < 1.5K/µL
- •Concomitant illness or requirement for chronic drug treatment that in the opinion of the PI creates unnecessary risks for gene transfer
- •Pregnancy
