8 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The goal of this long-term extension (LTE) study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of pegtibatinase in patients with classical homocystinuria (HCU). Patients who are active in the Phase 1/2 COMPOSE study or those who complete the 24 weeks of treatment in the Phase 3 HARMONY are eligible to participate. Participants will be in this clinical study for up to about 13 months including: * a treatment period of up to 104 weeks * a 4-week safety follow-up period
The purpose of this study is to measure efficacy and safety of pegtibatinase treatment compared with placebo in participants with classical HCU receiving standard of care who have not achieved tHcy target levels. Study details include: * Total Study duration: up to 38 weeks * Screening: * Initial Screening duration: up to 4 weeks * Pre-treatment Diet Standardization Period duration: up to 6 weeks * Blinded Treatment Duration: 24 weeks * 2-week blinded dose titration period * 22-week blinded assessment period * Safety Follow-Up: 4 weeks after last dose (as applicable for those not enrolling in the long term extension study, ENSEMBLE)
Homocystinuria caused by Cystathionine Beta-Synthase (CBS) Deficiency is a rare autosomal-recessive metabolic condition characterized by an excess of homocysteine (Hcy) in the plasma, tissues and urine. It is due to reduced or absent activity of the CBS enzyme, and is also known as classical homocystinuria. The symptoms associated with homocystinuria are variable in severity and time of onset across patients. Some affected individuals may have mild signs of the disorder; others may have multi-systemic involvement including potentially life-threatening complications. Homocystinuria can affect many different organ systems of the body; the four most commonly involved are the eyes, central nervous system, skeleton, and the vascular system. The current approaches to treatment of homocystinuria patients include a highly restrictive diet and use of dietary supplements. Lifetime compliance with this diet is poor. Pegtibatinase (TVT-058) represents a novel therapeutic approach that incorporates the use of a modified version of the native, human CBS (hCBS) enzyme. The goal of treatment is to introduce the CBS enzyme into circulation, resulting in reduced Hcy levels, increased cystathionine (Cth) and cysteine (Cys) levels.
Cystathionine beta-synthase deficiency is an inherited disease that results in elevation of a substance called homocysteine (Hcy) in blood and urine. Individuals with this disorder have a very high risk for developing blood clots and are at risk for developing eye and bone abnormalities. Current treatments are generally difficult to follow and can fail. Development of additional therapies has been limited by lack of understanding of how the disease works. The purpose of this study is to see if oxidative stress and inflammation are involved in the disease process and if short-term supplementation with taurine is an effective treatment.

The purpose of the study is to characterize the clinical course of homocystinuria in pediatric and adult patients aged 1 to 65 years under current clinical management practices
This is a Phase 1, double-blind (Sponsor-open), placebo-controlled, randomized, dose-escalation, inpatient study using a multiple-ascending dose (MAD) design to assess the safety, tolerability, and PD of SYNB1353 in HVs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of pegtarviliase in approximately 36 subjects with homocystinuria due to CBS deficiency.
Early Check provides voluntary screening of newborns for a selected panel of conditions. The study has three main objectives: 1) develop and implement an approach to identify affected infants, 2) address the impact on infants and families who screen positive, and 3) evaluate the Early Check program. The Early Check screening will lead to earlier identification of newborns with rare health conditions in addition to providing important data on the implementation of this model program. Early diagnosis may result in health and development benefits for the newborns. Infants who have newborn screening in North Carolina will be eligible to participate, equating to over 120,000 eligible infants a year. Over 95% of participants are expected to screen negative. Newborns who screen positive and their parents are invited to additional research activities and services. Parents can enroll eligible newborns on the Early Check electronic Research Portal. Screening tests are conducted on residual blood from existing newborn screening dried blood spots. Confirmatory testing is provided free-of-charge for infants who screen positive, and carrier testing is provided to mothers of infants with fragile X. Affected newborns have a physical and developmental evaluation. Their parents have genetic counseling and are invited to participate in surveys and interviews. Ongoing evaluation of the program includes additional parent interviews.
