Official title

A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Trial Evaluating an Intravenously Administered Recombinant Adeno-associated Virus Serotype rh.74 (AAVrh.74) Vector Containing the Human BCL2-associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3) Gene Coding Sequence (RP-A701) in Subjects With Dilated Cardiomyopathy Arising From Pathogenic BAG3 Variants (BAG3-DCM)

Overview

This is a Phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation trial to characterize the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of RP-A701 following a single IV administration in high-risk adult patients with BAG3-DCM.

Interventions

  • Genetic RP-A701 is a recombinant viral vector composed of an AAV serotype rh.74 (AAVrh.74) capsid encapsulating the transgene, BCL2-associated Athanogene 3 (BAG3)
    One-time treatment with a single ascending dose

Primary outcome measures

  • Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAE) [Time frame: Baseline up to End of Study (up to 24 months post-infusion)]
  • Incidence of Treatment-emergent Serious Adverse Events (SAE). [Time frame: Baseline up to End of Study (up to 24 months post-infusion)]
  • Incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT). [Time frame: Baseline up to End of Study (up to 24 months post-infusion)]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
  • To assess the impact of RP-A701 on features of cardiovascular function. [Time frame: Baseline up to End of Study (up to 24 months post-infusion)]
  • To assess the impact of RP-A701 on features of cardiovascular function. [Time frame: Baseline up to End of Study (up to 24 months post-infusion)]
  • To assess the impact of RP-A701 on features of cardiovascular function. [Time frame: Baseline up to End of Study (up to 24 months post-infusion)]
  • To assess the extent of RP-A701 transduction and protein expression. [Time frame: Baseline up to End of Study (up to 24 months post-infusion)]
  • To assess the impact of RP-A701 on features of heart failure (HF). [Time frame: Baseline up to End of Study (up to 24 months post-infusion)]
  • To assess the impact of RP-A701 on quality of life. [Time frame: Baseline up to End of Study (up to 24 months post-infusion)]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

Subjects are eligible for inclusion into the study only if all the following criteria apply:

  • Male or female between 18 and 65 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
  • Capable of and willing to provide signed informed consent
  • Clinical diagnosis of DCM defined as and requiring each of the following:
  • Mild to moderate systolic dysfunction (LVEF ≥ 25% and ≤ 45%) by echocardiography or CMR performed within 3 months of enrollment.
  • Absence of severe coronary artery disease (>70% stenosis) or active myocardial ischemia as the etiology of LV systolic dysfunction
  • Absence of uncontrolled hypertension, significant cardiac valve disease (i.e., greater than moderate in severity), infiltrative disorder, or systemic disease known to cause cardiomyopathy.
  • Documentation of a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in BAG3
  • History of ICD implantation ≥ 3 months prior to enrollment
  • NYHA Class II or III HF symptoms with stable HF therapeutic guideline-directed medical regimen for 30 days prior to enrollment

Exclusion criteria

  • CV disease that may be related to a genetic etiology other than a BAG3 pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant.
  • Previous participation in a study of gene transfer or gene editing.
  • I.V. inotropic, vasodilator, or diuretic therapy ≤ 30 days prior to enrollment.
  • History of intracardiac thrombosis or arterial thromboembolic events
  • Severe RV dysfunction assessed by echocardiogram or CMR ≤ 12 months prior to screening
  • LVEF < 25% by echocardiogram or CMR at ≤ 3 months prior to screening
  • NYHA Class I or IV HF

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
