Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of ascending doses of HGT-1110 administered by intrathecal (IT) injection for 38 weeks (20 injections) in children with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD).

Description:

Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an inherited, autosomal recessive disorder of lipid metabolism characterized by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme, arylsulfatase A (ASA). MLD is a rare disease that occurs in most parts of the world. The estimated overall incidence of the disease in the western world is approximately 1 in 100,000 live births that varies by geographic location. There are no approved therapies for MLD.

This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety of up to 3 dose levels (10, 30, or 100 mg) of HGT-1110 administered via an intrathecal drug delivery device (IDDD) every other week (EOW) for a total of 38 weeks (20 injections, Weeks 0 to 38) to children with MLD. The study also includes the assessment of HGT-1110 drug product produced with a revised drug substance manufacturing process (referred to as Process B) in a fourth cohort (Cohort 4). Approximately 24 patients will be enrolled and will receive treatment of HGT-1110. Patients will be sequentially enrolled into 4 dose cohorts, approximately 6 patients each. Patient enrollment will be staggered in this study to facilitate adequate safety monitoring per dose cohort.
