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 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:
