About this study

Official title: Clinical Exploration of Clinical Exploration Adeno-associated Virus Vector Expression of Human Coagulation Factor VIII Gene Therapy for Hemophilia A

IHBDH-GTHA-2020 is an open- label, non- randomized study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and kinetics of a single intravenous infusion of GS001 in hemophilia A subjects with <1 IU/dl residual FVIII levels.

Read the detailed description

IHBDH-GTHA-2020 is a open- label, non- randomized study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and kinetics of GS001 in hemophilia A subjects with residual FVIII levels<1 IU/dl. The first patient will receive a single intravenous infusion of GS001 at a dose level of 2 x 10^12 vg/kg body weight. After three weeks of follow-up for the first patient post infusion of GS001, the dose of GS001 can be adjusted for the other two patients based on the activity level of FVIII:C and safety assessment. Following completion of the first 3 patients received GS001 infusion at 2 x 10^12 vg/kg dose level , the following 3 patients will continue to be enrolled to this dose group if there isn't any unexpected safety risk based on the assessments of FVIII expression and safety profile. The safety data and the activity level of FVIII:C from the first 6 subjects at 2 x 10^12 vg/kg dose level will undergo review by an independent DMC prior to dosing the first subject in the next dose level, DMC may recommend dose escalation to 6 x 10^12 vg/kg body weight or other recommended dose levels.

If the DMC recommends dose escalation to 6 x 10 ^12 vg/kg body weight or other recommended doses, at least 10 weeks of safety data and the activity level of FVIII:C post GS001 infusion from the first 3 subjects in this given dose level will undergo review by an independent DMC prior to dosing the following subjects. Based on the data from the first 3 subjects, DMC may recommend the dose adjustments for subsequent enrolled subjects, and expand the number of subject enrolled. Based on the safety, preliminary efficacy and vector kinetics profile of single intravenous infusions of GS001 at different dose levels in severe hemophilia A patients with endogenous factor FVIII activity levels ≤ 1% in this study, and based on the benefit-risk assessment of the subjects, the dose level to be administered for future larger clinical trial in patients with severe hemophilia A will be determined.

After all enrolled subjects have been followed for at least 12 weeks after intravenous infusion GS001, periodic analysis will be performed. Primary analysis of safety and efficacy will be performed 52 (± 2) weeks after intravenous infusion GS001, and all subjects will receive 52 (± 2) weeks of comprehensive safety and efficacy assessments. After completing the 52 (± 2) week visit (end-of-study visit), subjects will continue to be followed in this study for up to an additional 4 years for long-term safety and efficacy assessment to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of GS001 treatment.

A total of 12 to 15 subjects are expected to be enrolled in this study. Subjects will provide informed consent and then undergo screening assessments up to 4-8 weeks prior administration of GS001. All subjects will undergo 260 weeks (5 years) safety observation.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Injection of GS001Genetic

    Patients will be enrolled sequentially every 3 weeks or more between cohorts. Dose escalation may occur after a single patient has been safely dosed if the resulting FVIII activity at Week 3 is < 5 IU/dL.The dose levels are as follows:

    1. 2×10^12 vg/kg
    2. 6×10^12vg/kg or other recommended doses
    3. 2×10^13 vg/kg or other recommended doses

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of treatment- related adverse events

    Number of patients experiencing treatment-related adverse events.

    Measured: From screening through up to the end of study (about 5 years).

  2. Percentage of subjects in each dose group with newly occurred clinically significant abnormalities in physical examination compared to the baseline.

    The number of subjects in each dose group with clinically significant changes in physical examination compared to the baseline.

    Measured: From the start of study treatment (Day 1) through up to the end of study (about 5 years).

  3. Changes of Weighted Mean of vital signs (systolic blood pressure [SBP] and diastolic blood pressure [DBP], pulse rate, temperature, respiratory rate) from baseline at each assessment time point for each dose group

    The vital signs (SBP, DBP, pulse rate, temperature, respiratory rate) of the subjects were measured. The maximum, minimum, and mean observed values of vital signs (SBP, DBP, pulse rate, temperature, respiratory rate) from the dosing (Day 1) to the end of the study were calculated for each subject.

    Measured: From the start of study treatment (Day 1) through up to the end of study (about 5 years).

  4. Changes of Mean Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP), Alanine Amino Transferase (ALT), Aspartate Amio Transferase (AST) from baseline at each assessment time point for each dose group

    Blood samples of subjects were collected for the evaluation of liver function throughout this study. All of these parameters are measured to help assess the condition of the liver. For ALP, AST and ALT, the percentage of subjects with the worst post-treatment results in each dose group will be summarized as follows: > 1.0 x ULN ≤ 1.5x ULN; > 1.5 x ULN ≤ 3.0 x ULN; > 3.0 x ULN ≤ 5.0 x ULN; > 5.0 x ULN

    Measured: From the start of study treatment (Day 1) through up to the end of study (about 5 years).

  5. Immune response to AAV capsid proteins

    Changes in the expression levels of neutralizing and binding antibodies of AAV.

    Measured: From screening period through up to 5 years.

  6. Immune response to FVIII transgene

    The changes of FVIII inhibitor and antibody levels

    Measured: From screening period through up to 5 years.

  7. Viral vector shedding of GS001

    The vector shedding in serum, PMBC, saliva, urine, semen and feces will be monitored

    Measured: From date of infusion until the date of 3 consecutive documented negative results, assessed up to 1 year.

  8. Thrombosis risk assessment

    For any individual who reaches >150% vector-derived FVIII: C activity levels following the infusion of GS001, laboratory parameters of thrombotic potential will be assessed.

    Measured: From the start of study treatment (Day 1) through up to the end of study (about 5 years).

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Vector- derived FVIII:C and FVIII antigen levels

    Vector- derived FVIII:C and FVIII antigen levels will be measured after dosing.

    Measured: From pre-dose phase through up to 1 years post-dose

  2. FVIII usage within 1 year after GS001 infusion

    Number of FVIII replacement therapies and total utilization of exogenous FVIII (IU/kg) replacement therapy.

    Measured: From week 3 to week 52 post GS001 infusion.

  3. Number of bleeding events requiring exogenous FVIII replacement therapy within 1 year after GS001 infusion

    Number of bleeding events (Spontaneous and Traumatic) requiring exogenous FVIII replacement therapy

    Measured: Week 3 to Week 52 post GS001 Infusion

  4. Number of bleeding events within 1 year after GS001 infusion

    Number of bleeding events (spontaneous or traumatic) including untreated bleeding events

    Measured: Week 3 to Week 52 post GS001 infusion
