Clinical Trial Summary

RGX-121 is a gene therapy which is intended to deliver a functional copy of the iduronate-2-sulfatase gene (IDS) to the central nervous system. This study is a safety and efficacy, dose ranging study to determine whether RGX-121 is safe, effective and well-tolerated by patients with MPS II.

Description:

MPS II (Hunter Syndrome) is a rare X-linked recessive genetic disease caused by mutations in the iduronate-2-sulfatase gene (IDS). Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with recombinant idursulfase (ELAPRASE®) is the only approved product for the treatment of Hunter syndrome, however, ERT as currently administered does not cross the blood brain barrier and is therefore unable to address the unmet need in MPS II patients with central nervous system (CNS) (neurocognition and behavior) involvement. RGX-121 is designed to deliver a functional gene to cells in the CNS. Iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S) may then be secreted by transduced cells, which may then cross-correct non-transduced cells by taking up the functional enzyme.

This is a Phase I/II/III study enrolling in two sequential parts. Part 1 is a Phase I/II, first-in-human, multicenter, open-label, single arm dose escalation study of RGX-121. Three one-time doses of RGX-121 will be studied in up to 16 pediatric subjects who have neuronopathic MPS II. Safety will be the primary focus for the initial 24 weeks after treatment (primary study period) whereupon, subjects will continue to be assessed (safety and efficacy) for up to a total of 104 weeks following treatment with RGX-121. Part 2 is a pivotal expansion, multicenter, open-label, single arm study of RGX-121. A single dose of RGX-121 will be studied in up to 30 pediatric patients who have been diagnosed with neuronopathic MPS II. Subjects will be assessed at various timepoints for 24 months after receiving RGX-121. Subjects will be given the opportunity to enroll in a separate 3-year long-term follow-up study in accordance with the US federal government guidelines for the safety follow-up of patients receiving gene therapy.

Primary	Part 2 Neurodevelopmental parameters	Neurodevelopmental function as measured by the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd Edition (BSID-III) or Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL). The Bayley Scales of Infant Development, or the BSID-III is an individually administered test, designed to evaluate the developmental functioning of infants and small children, between 1 and 42 months of age. The purpose of the test is to identify infants and children with developmental delay. The Mullen Scales of Early Learning (MSEL) is a developmental test to measure cognitive ability, language and motor development. The test has five scales: gross motor, visual reception, fine motor, receptive language, and expressive language. An increase in raw and age equivalent scores indicates neurodevelopmental skill acquisition. Standard scores compare function to age matched normative data.	52 Weeks
