Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of RTX-134 in adult patients with PKU.

Description:

This is a Phase 1b first-in-human trial in adult subjects with PKU. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of RTX-134 following intravenous administration of a single dose. RTX-134 consists of allogeneic human red cells expressing the AvPAL (Anabaena variabilis phenylalanine ammonia lyase) gene inside the cell. The trial is designed to determine a preliminary dose and inform a dosing schedule that is deemed safe, tolerable, and potentially effective. Four dose levels are planned, additional dose levels may be explored. Following administration, subjects will be monitored until 28 days after last detection of RTX-134. Detection of RTX-134 will be evaluated using multiple pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) assessments including measurement of trans-cinnamic acid (tCA).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	To evaluate the safety and tolerability of RTX-134 as measured by frequency of treatment emergent adverse events		Baseline to 28 days after last detection of RTX-134
Primary	To correlate dose with percent reduction in serum phenylalanine levels relative to baseline		Baseline to 28 days after last detection of RTX-134
Primary	To determine a preliminary dose to achieve serum phenylalanine levels < 600 µmol/L		Baseline to 28 days after last detection of RTX-134
Primary	To determine a preliminary dose to achieve serum phenylalanine levels < 360 µmol/L		Baseline to 28 days after last detection of RTX-134
Primary	To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of RTX-134 as measured by presence of AvPal expressing red cells, AvPAL protein in red cells and serum, and AvPAL enzymatic activity.		Baseline to 28 days after last detection of RTX-134
