About this study

Official title: Phase 1/2a First-in-human Trial Evaluating Autologous Gene-edited Muscle Stem Cells in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophies (GenPHSats-bASKet)

This study is an investigator initiated first-in-human interventional open label phase 1/2a clinical trial investigating an ATMP in the orphan disease LGMD to evaluate safety and efficacy.

Read the detailed description

This trial is directed towards a first-in-human application of GenPHSats; gene edited primary human satellite cell derived muscle stem cells as a new Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP) in a phase 1/2a clinical trial with Gene edited PHSats (GenPHSats) initiating healthy muscle development in patients with LGDM. The trial is set up to verify if GenPHSats can provide an therapy option for LGDM patients as there is currently no therapy available. The GenPHSats are an autologous product comprised of primary human satellite cell derived muscle stem cells obtained from the patient's own muscle tissue and gene edited in vitro prior to transplantation.

Conditions
LGMD
Being tested
GenPHSat injection (Safety), GenPHSat injection (Efficacy), Muscle Biopsy (Safety)

What participants receive

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

  • GenPHSat injection (Safety)Biological

    Participants receive gene edited primary human muscle stem cells (GenPHsat) injection in the left biceps muscle.

  • GenPHSat injection (Efficacy)Biological

    Participants receive gene edited primary human muscle stem cells (GenPHsat) injection in the right biceps muscle.

  • Muscle Biopsy (Safety)Other

    Participants undergo muscle biopsy 3 month after safety GenPHSat injection.

Study groups in NCT05588401
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
GenPHSat safety injection and GenPHSat efficacy injectionExperimentalInitial intervention with six injections into the left biceps. A second intervention with 36 injections into the right biceps.
Receives: Biological: GenPHSat injection (Safety); Biological: GenPHSat injection (Efficacy); Other: Muscle Biopsy (Safety)

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

    Characterization of type, incidence, severity, duration, reversibility, treatability of adverse events recorded at least at visit 1, 2, 3 and 4 (end of trial).

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of muscle biopsy post-injection structure

    The muscle biopsy taken and stained to visualize muscle biopsy structure after 3 month post injection.

    Measured: 3 month post injection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing GenPHSat injection (Safety), GenPHSat injection (Efficacy) and Muscle Biopsy (Safety) in people with LGMD, run by Simone Spuler, MD.

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 5 inclusion and 11 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Simone Spuler, Prof Dr med (004930450540501, simone.spuler@charite.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 3 Aug 2023.
