About this study
Official title: A Phase 1/2 Open-Label, Randomized, Concurrently-Controlled, Dose Escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of HMI-102 in Adult PKU Subjects With PAH Deficiency
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, randomized, concurrently-controlled, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of HMI-102 in adult PKU subjects with PAH deficiency. Participants will receive a single administration of HMI-102 and will be followed for safety and efficacy for 1 year.
Read the detailed description
Part 1 of this study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of HMI-102 gene therapy in adult subjects with PKU due to PAH deficiency. Subjects will receive a single dose of HMI-102 administered intravenously. Up to 3 dose levels of HMI-102 may be investigated in this study. At a given dose level, a minimum of 2 subjects will be enrolled and dosed. Dosing of the first two subjects will be staggered. Following evaluation of data from the first 2 subjects in a cohort, a decision can be made to either escalate to the next dose level or expand the cohort at the selected dose level. Additional doses may be added by HMI to investigate intermediate or higher doses.
In Part 2 dose expansion, evaluation of up to 2 dose levels is planned. Subjects will be randomized to receive HMI-102 or a concurrent delayed treatment control arm. Subjects in the delayed treatment control will be eligible to receive HMI-102 after 28 weeks.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
HMI-102Genetic
HMI-102 is an AAVHSC15 vector containing a functional copy of the human PAH gene
HMI-102Genetic
Control subjects will generally have the same assessments as treated subjects.
Control subjects will undergo pre-baseline procedures to confirm that they are eligible to receive treatment with HMI-102. Once eligible control subjects are dosed with HMI-102, they will initiate the same post-dose procedures as subjects who received HMI-102.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing HMI-102 in people with Phenylketonurias and PAH Deficiency, run by Homology Medicines, Inc at 13 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 13 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was stopped early (reason given: Homology Medicines has discontinued the development of this program.). Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) (Dose Escalation Phase) (time frame: Baseline to Week 52). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Aug 2023.
