Official title
A Phase 1b First-in-Human, Open-Label, Dose-Finding Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of SGT-212 Delivered Via Dual Intradentate Nucleus (IDN) and Intravenous (IV) Administration to Participants With Friedreich's Ataxia (FA)
Overview
This is a phase 1b, first in-human, open-label, dose-finding study investigating the safety and tolerability of SGT-212 in participants with Friedreich's ataxia (FA). It will be delivered via dual intradentate nucleus (IDN) and intravenous (IV) administration to participants with FA. All participants will receive SGT-212 and will be enrolled in the study for approximately 5 years.
Interventions
- Drug SGT-212
Adeno-associated virus serotype AAVhu68 containing a codon-optimized complementary DNA (cDNA)
Primary outcome measures
- Incidence and Severity of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [Time frame: Month 12]
Secondary outcome measures (9)
- Incidence and Severity of TEAEs [Time frame: Months 18 and 60]
- Incidence and Severity of Treatment-emergent Serious adverse events (SAEs) [Time frame: Months 18 and 60]
- Number of Treatment-emergent deaths [Time frame: Months 18 and 60]
- Change from Baseline in Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) [Time frame: Baseline, Months 18 and 60]
- Number of Participants with Change from Baseline in Significant Abnormalities in Laboratory Tests [Time frame: Baseline, Months 18 and 60]
- Number of Participants with Change from Baseline in Significant Abnormalities in Vital Signs [Time frame: Baseline, Months 18 and 60]
- Number of Participants with Change from Baseline in Significant Abnormalities in Physical Examination Findings [Time frame: Baseline, Months 18 and 60]
- Number of Participants with Change from Baseline in Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses [Time frame: Baseline, Months 18 and 60]
- Change from Baseline in Blood Biomarkers Including Inflammatory Markers [Time frame: Baseline, Month 12]
Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria

- Has a staging score of ≥1 but <6 on the Friedreich's Ataxia Rating Scale (FARS) Functional Disability Staging Score
- Is willing to agree to the following rules for use of omaveloxolone (Skyclarys):
- For a candidate who is currently taking omaveloxolone, has been on a stable dose for 12 weeks, expects to continue taking omaveloxolone at that dose throughout the study, and is willing to stop taking omaveloxolone at the direction of the Investigator or Sponsor's Medical Monitor if evidence of transaminitis or synthetic liver dysfunction is detected during the study
- For a candidate who is not actively taking omaveloxolone, at least 12 weeks have passed since the last dose and the candidate agrees not to resume omaveloxolone during the 18-month period after SGT-212 infusion NOTE: The use of any other approved or investigational medicinal product for the treatment of FA should be discussed with the study team.
