Safety Dose Finding Study of ADVM-043 Gene Therapy to Treat Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (A1AT) Deficiency — ADVANCE  

Alpha 1-Antitrypsin Deficiency Clinical Trial

Official title: Phase 1/2 Study of Intravenous or Intrapleural Administration of a Serotype rh.10 Replication Deficient Adeno-associated Virus Gene Transfer Vector Expressing the Human Alpha-1 Antitrypsin cDNA to Individuals With Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The ADVANCE study is being conducted by Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. as an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study in order to assess the safety and protein expression of ADVM-043 following a single intravenous or intrapleural administration.

Clinical Trial Description

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin (A1AT) is a major inhibitor of serine proteases and plays an important role in the lung as an inhibitor of neutrophil elastase. A1AT deficiency is associated with decreases in plasma A1AT levels and is associated with an increased risk for developing asthma, emphysema/COPD, and bronchiectasis. Much of the lung damage is thought to be caused by proteolytic damage from neutrophil elastase and other proteases.

ADVM-043 is an investigational gene therapy product (serotype AAVrh.10 vector) expressing human A1AT that is intended to deliver a functional gene to the liver of patients with A1AT deficiency. Study ADVM-043-01 will study up to 4 dose levels in up to 20 patients and assess the hypothesis that a single administration of an AAV vector expressing the human M-type A1AT (i.e., ADVM-043) to patients with A1AT deficiency is safe and results in persistent therapeutic levels of A1AT in blood and alveolar epithelial lining fluid (epithelial lining fluid is only to be collected in subjects who are dosed intrapleurally). The primary endpoint is safety, and changes in plasma A1AT levels at multiple time points up to 52 weeks after dosing. A prophylactic tapering corticosteroid regimen will be used to protect against potential vector induced transaminitis. Subjects will be followed for up to 52 weeks after dosing. Safety and efficacy data from the IV cohorts will be considered when determining whether to proceed to intrapleural administration. After completion of this study, subjects will be asked to enroll in a Long Term Follow Up study. ;
