About this study

Official title: An Exploratory Clinical Study of JV001 in the Treatment of Patients With Heart Failure Due to Dilated Cardiomyopathy (Telomere Recapping to Restore Mitochondrial Biogenesis Study for Dilated Cardiomyopathy)

The aim of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of giving an adeno-associated viral vector expressing a modified telomerase protein (TERT), driven by cardiac troponin T promoter (AAV9-cTnT-modTERT), to 12 dilated cardiomyopathic patients.

Read the detailed description

It is an open-label, 6+6 design study involving two dosages ( 2×10^11vg/kg, and 6×10^11vg/kg) aimed to explore the safety, pharmacokinetics, immunology, and preliminary efficacy of JV001.

What participants receive

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

  • JV001Biological

    JV001 (AAV9/modTERT) will be delivered by a percutaneous method in the catheter laboratory. Dose: 2×10^11vg/kg,or 6×10^11vg/kg.

Study groups in NCT05837143
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Active Comparator: JV001ExperimentalSubjects will receive a single intracoronary infusion of JV001 at a dose of 2×10^11vg/kg, and 6×10^11vg/kg.
Receives: Biological: JV001

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) within 28 days of a single intracoronary infusion of JV001

    To evaluate the DLT occurred within 28 days after JV001 infusion

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Incidence of adverse events and serious adverse events within 1 year of administration

    To evaluate the safety of JV001 treatment

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Left ventricular ejection fraction

    Changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF as percentage) as assessed by echocardiography

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12, Week 26, Week 52

  2. Myocardial remodeling assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Imaging

    Changes in left ventricular mass (absolute (ml) and index (ml/m2). Changes in left ventricular diastolic volume (ml). Changes in right ventricular diastolic volume (ml). Changes in left ventricular stroke volume

    Measured: Baseline, Week 26

  3. Change in N-terminal Prohormone Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP) from baseline to Week 2, 4, 12, 26, 52

    To evaluate the changes in NT-proBNP of subjects at 2, 4, 12, 26, and 52 weeks after medication from baseline. NT-proBNP is a biomarker for heart failure with a higher level indicating increased mortality and cardiovascular hospitalization in patients with heart failure.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12, Week 26, Week 52

  4. Change in 6-minute Walk Test (6MWT) from baseline to Week 12,26,52

    The 6MWT measures the distance walked in meters during a 6-minute test. Lower scores compared to baseline indicate worsening in function, and higher scores compared to baseline indicate improvement in function.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12, Week 26, Week 52

  5. Change in total immunoglobulin and neutralizing antibodies from baseline to Week 2, Week 4, Week 12, Week 26, Week 52

    Evaluate the changes in the formation of Anti-AAV9 antibodies.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12, Week 26, Week 52

  6. Change in vector DNA levels in subjects' biological samples from baseline to Day 1, Day2, Day7, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12, Week 26, Week 52

    To evaluate the changes of AAV viral load in subjects' biological samples from baseline

    Measured: Baseline, Day 1, Day2, Day7, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12, Week 26, Week 52

  7. Change in Minnesota Living With Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) score from baseline to Week 12,26,52

    The MLHFQ is a patient-report questionnaire used to assess the quality of life of heart failure patients. Higher scores indicate a lower quality of life.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12, Week 26, Week 52

  8. Change of New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification from baseline to Week 12,26,52

    The NYHA functional classification is the most commonly used classification system for patients with heart failure. Changes from baseline to a higher class indicate a worsening in symptoms.

    Measured: Baseline, Week 12, Week 26, Week 52

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing JV001 in people with Heart Failure and Dilated Cardiomyopathy, run by Shanghai East Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 6 inclusion and 25 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 16 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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 phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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?

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?

Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) within 28 days of a single intracoronary infusion of JV001 (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05837143, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 16 Jul 2024.
