Overview
Brief Summary
It is a single-center, open, single-arm, non-randomized investigator-initiated trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of recombinant adeno-associated virus administration for patients with Menkes syndrome.
Detailed Description
Who can participate? Patients with Menkes syndrome were diagnosed by combining clinical and genetic diagnoses. How to conduct this study? In this study, the constructed recombinant adeno-associated virus preparation will be delivered to patients with Menkes syndrome. After administration, close follow-up will be conducted for at least three months, followed by regular follow-up until at least the 12th month. The efficacy and safety of treatment will be observed and evaluated. After the completion of the study, participants will decide whether to participate in the long-term follow-up program for five years. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? Benefits: This study may prolong the life span and improve the prognosis of Menkes syndrome subjects. The information obtained from this study will help determine what treatment may be safe and effective for other subjects with similar conditions. Risks: Subjects may have adverse reactions to the treatment. These adverse reactions may include abnormal liver injury, fever, thrombocytopenia, thrombotic microangiopathy, and possibly others. Where is the study run? Kunming Hope of Health Hospital.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Monitoring the disease course or vital signs to assess the efficacy of the investigational medical product
Time Frame: Up to the end of life after infusion or 12 months after the age of 3 years
Based on studies of the natural history of Menkes syndrome, which shows that patients have a life span of fewer than three years, this study will evaluate the endpoint of life of patients with the investigational medical product infusion. The endpoint of life is defined as death or the need for ventilatory support (device dependence of at least 16 hours per day for more than 14 days).
Incidence of adverse events(AE) after the investigational medical product infusion
Time Frame: Up to 12 months after the investigational medical product infusion
The frequency, severity, and laboratory findings of all adverse events/serious adverse events are included. Description, time, classification, and outcome of AE events resulted from the investigational medical product, delivery method, or emergency measures will be recorded in the case report form.
Secondary Outcomes
- Weight(At baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after infusion)
- Developmental behavior assessment(At baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after infusion)
- Height(At baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after infusion)
- Head circumference(At baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12 months after infusion)
