A Phase 1/Phase 2 Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of a Single Intravenous Administration of SAR444836 in Adult Participants With Phenylketonuria

Description

This is a single group Phase 1/Phase 2, 1-arm, open-label study with SAR444836, an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated gene transfer of human phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), for the treatment of adult participants with phenylketonuria (PKU) on a chronic, stable diet. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SAR444836 in reducing phenylalanine (Phe) levels and in the elimination of a Phe restricted diet. Participants will receive a one-time intravenous (IV) administration of SAR444836. The study is constituted of 2 separate parts: a dose escalation part, and a dose expansion part where subsequent participants will be administered a safe and effective dose level identified during the dose escalation part. In both study parts, clinical and laboratory assessments will be collected to: a) assess the incidence of adverse events, and b) evaluate the effect of SAR444836 on reductions in blood Phe levels and maintenance of these Phe levels after elimination of a Phe restricted diet. The study duration will be for a minimum duration of 5 years following SAR444836 administration, for each participant and includes a 6-week screening phase, a 96-week treatment follow-up period after SAR444836 administration, followed by an additional 3 years of long-term safety (and efficacy) monitoring. There will be a total of 47 study visits. Many study visits may occur as remote visits and be performed by a qualified in-home service provider. Actual study duration for an individual participant may be longer than 5 years due to the administration of SAR444836 to participants in Stage 1A in a serial fashion, the duration of the screening period, and/or other factors such as delays in scheduling study visits.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Adult males, and females of non-childbearing potential, 18-65 years of age at the time of informed consent.
  • * Participants must have uncontrolled classical PKU due to PAH deficiency (despite Phe-restricted dietary management or Palynziq) in the judgement of the Investigator.
  • * Two historical plasma Phe values ≥ 600 μmol/L in the preceding 12 months while on Phe restricted diet therapy. Two plasma Phe values ≥ 600 μmol/L drawn at least 72 hours apart during the screening period while on Phe restricted diet therapy in the absence of an acute illness.
  • * Participant has the ability and willingness to maintain their present diet for the duration of the Post-treatment Follow-up Phase (through Week 96), unless otherwise directed as per protocol
  • * Body mass index (BMI) ≤ 35 kg/m2
  • * Willingness to use effective methods of contraception.
  • * Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.
  • * Presence of neutralizing antibodies against the AAV SNY001 capsid
  • * Abnormal liver function laboratory testing evidenced by alanine aminotransferase (ALT)\>1.5X upper limit normal (ULN), aspartate transaminase (AST)\>1.5X ULN, alkaline phosphatase \>1.5X ULN, Total and direct bilirubin \>1.5X ULN (bilirubin levels above the laboratory's normal range are acceptable in individuals with a documented history or laboratory evidence of Gilbert's Disease)
  • * Any significant underlying liver disease or any of the following documented diagnoses, indicative of significant underlying liver disease:
  • * Portal hypertension; or
  • * Splenomegaly; or
  • * Hepatic encephalopathy
