Official title
An Open Label, Single Arm, Dose Escalation Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, and Initial Efficacy of GCB-002 in the Treatment of Female Subjects With MECP2 Gene Mutation in Patients With Rett Syndrome
Overview
Study Brief Summary overall design This study explored dose escalation of single-arm, open, single intrathecal injection in female RTT subjects with MECP2 gene mutations. The investigator plans to conduct 2-3 dose groups. It is expected that each dose group will enroll 3 subjects, with a total of 6-9 female RTT subjects aged 2-10 years old due to MECP2 gene mutations. dose escalation 1. For safety reasons, each subject in the first dose group needs to complete a 30-day safety observation. After the researcher determines that it is safe and tolerable, the next subject can be enrolled in the group; 2. The follow-up dose group adopts a sentinel test design, with the first case of each dose group being a sentinel. The first subject needs to complete a 30-day safety observation, and after the researcher determines that it is safe and tolerable, the remaining subjects can be enrolled in the group; 3. If none of the three subjects in a certain dose group developed DLT, the study will proceed to the next higher dose group; 4. If there are no safety issues and no adverse events of dose escalation termination in dose group 2 (see dose termination escalation rules), the researcher and funding unit (Genecombio) will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the safety data and efficacy trends of all subjects in dose group 2 to determine whether to escalate to dose group 3; 5. During the DLT observation period, if the subject does not observe DLT and the researcher believes that continuing treatment can bring clinical benefits to the subject, the subject will continue to receive treatment; During the DLT observation period, if there is no occurrence of DLT or ≥ grade 2 adverse events related to the investigational drug, it will be escalated to the next dose group. If the subject experiences grade ≥ 2 adverse events related to the study drug, the dose group will be expanded to 3 subjects for further observation of drug safety, and a "3+3" rule will be applied from this dose group onwards. Each subject in each dose group will be enrolled on a case by case basis. According to the "Technical Guidelines for Long term Follow up Clinical Research of Gene Therapy Products (Trial)", in clinical studies, subjects can automatically enter the long-term follow-up research stage after the last follow-up (52 weeks after administration), and the follow-up period is 5 years after the initial administration.
Interventions
- Genetic GCB-002
GCB-002 is a self-complementary AAV9 carrying a full length human MECP2 transgenetic product.
Primary outcome measures
- Evaluate the incidence of drug-related adverse events from baseline to 52 weeks after administration [Time frame: 0-52 weeks]
- Evaluate the changes from baseline using the Clinical Global Impression Scale - Overall Improvement (CGI-I) after 52 weeks of administration [Time frame: 0-52 weeks]
- Evaluate the changes in the Patient's Global Impressions of Improvement (PGI-I) scale compared to baseline after 52 weeks of drug administration [Time frame: 0-52 weeks]
- Evaluate the changes in Rett Syndrome Behavior Questionnaire (RSBQ) compared to baseline after 52 weeks of drug administration [Time frame: 0-52 weeks]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria
- Has participated in or is currently participating in other RTT drug clinical trials or other AAV gene therapy clinical studies;
- The subject has a history of head injuries that can cause neurological disorders such as epilepsy, physical disabilities, etc;
