Description

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single intravenous infusion of LION-101 in adults diagnosed with limb girdle muscular dystrophy type 2I/R9 (LGMD2I/R9). Participants will be treated in sequential, dose-level cohorts. (Part 1)

Official Title

A Phase 1/2, Double-blind, Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Dose-escalation Study to Evaluate the Safety of LION-101 Gene Therapy in Adult Subjects (18-65 Years) With Genetic Confirmation of Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2I/R9 (LGMD2I/R9) - Part 1

Keywords

Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2, LGMD2I, Muscular Dystrophy, LGMD2, LGMD, FKRP, FKRP Mutation, Fukutin Related Protein, gene therapy, LGMD2I/R9, gene augmentation therapy, Muscular Dystrophies, Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophies, LION-101 dose level 1, LION-101 dose level 2

Eligibility

You can join if…

Open to people ages 18-65

  1. Male and female subjects between the ages 18 and 65 years with clinical diagnosis of LGMD2I/R9 and confirmation of FKRP gene mutation.
  2. Ability to ascend 4 stairs between 2.5 and 10 seconds.
  3. Ability to walk/run 10 meters in < 30 seconds.
  4. Able to understand and comply with all study procedures.
  5. Sexually active females of childbearing potential and female and male partners of male subjects receiving LION-101 must use a barrier method of contraception for the first 6 months after dosing.

You CAN'T join if...

  1. Significant cardiomyopathy as defined by echocardiogram (left ventricular ejection fraction <40%), evidence of conduction defect (increased PR and RR intervals, left bundle branch block and QTcF >480m/sec), NYHA Class 3 or 4 heart failure, or MRI gadolinium enhancement evidence of clinically important myocardial fibrosis.
  2. Contraindication to MRI or hypersensitivity to contrast dyes, shellfish or iodine.
  3. Implanted spinal rods, cardiac pacemaker or other implantation that would distort cardiac MRI images.
  4. History of chronic liver disease (e.g. hepatitis, HIV, steatosis) or abnormal liver function (abnormal GGT and/or abnormal total/direct bilirubin and/or AST and ALT >2 ULN).
  5. Abnormal renal function (GFR < 60 ml/min, using the MDRD equation).
  6. Any life-threatening disease, including malignant neoplasms and medical history or malignant neoplasms within the past 5 years prior to screening (except basal and squamous cell skin cancer).
  7. In the opinion of the investigator, a pre-existing medical condition that predisposes the subject to risks that outweighs the potential benefits.
  8. Requirement for daytime ventilatory support.
  9. Change in glucocorticosteroid treatment within 3 months prior to baseline visit.

    10. Exposure to another investigational drug within 3 months prior to study treatment or

    any previous treatment with gene therapy.

    11. Ongoing participation in any other therapeutic clinical trial. 12. Neutralizing antibody titer to AAV9 ≥ 1:5. 13. Female subjects who are pregnant, plan to become pregnant in the next 12 months, or

    breastfeeding.
