This Phase 1/2, first-in-human study gives a single intravenous dose of AMT-191 to adult males with classic Fabry disease. Three ascending dose cohorts are enrolled sequentially; all participants receive AMT-191 and there is no placebo. Participants are monitored with site visits, blood tests, imaging, questionnaires, and other assessments.
What it is studying. The study is testing the safety and tolerability of different intravenous dose levels of AMT-191 and how the body processes and responds to the dose (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics). It will also collect exploratory data on effects in Fabry disease and measure vector DNA shedding in samples such as blood, saliva, feces, semen, and urine over time.
What the researchers hope to learn. Scientific goals are to characterize safety and tolerability of AMT-191 at different doses, to describe its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, to measure duration of vector DNA shedding in bodily samples, and to gather exploratory data on effects in Fabry disease.
What this study is about
The study's own summary, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov. Underlined terms have a short explanation.
The main goals of this clinical study are to characterize safety and PK/PD of AMT-191 i.e. if drug doses used in the study are safe and tolerable and to understand how it acts in the body of people with Fabry disease.

Study description and what participation involves
The study's detailed description, as published on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Detailed description from the registry
In Fabry disease, the enzyme α-galactosidase A is deficient. AMT-191 is an investigational gene therapy that encodes a recombinant serotype 5 based adeno-associated viral vector (rAAV5). AMT-191 is designed to target the liver for production of the enzyme α-galactosidase A (αGAL). AMT-191 is delivered via a single (one-time) intravenous (IV) infusion. In this first-in-human study of AMT-191, three dose levels will be tested. All eligible participants will receive AMT-191 at one of the dose levels; there is no placebo in this study. The starting dose level is decided based on accepted rules for dose translation from preclinical (animal) studies to humans. Subsequent dose cohort levels are decided based on the review of safety, tolerability, and PK/PD results by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee and in agreement with the Sponsor. Participants will be monitored through study site visits, blood tests, imaging questionnaires, and other assessments as per the study protocols.

Participants receive a single, one-time intravenous (IV) infusion of the investigational gene therapy AMT-191. They will attend study site visits that include blood tests, imaging, questionnaires, and other assessments described in the protocol. Specimens such as blood, saliva, feces, urine, and semen will be collected over time to characterize vector DNA shedding and pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics. Follow-up and monitoring are planned long-term, with outcome time frames reported in the registry up to 60 months.
How the study is structured. Open-label, non-randomized Phase 1/2 study with three sequential dose cohorts. Each participant receives a single IV infusion of AMT-191 at one dose level; dose escalation between cohorts is decided after review of safety, tolerability, and PK/PD by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee and the Sponsor. There is no placebo group. Participants are followed and monitored with visits and tests (including blood tests, imaging, and questionnaires) with safety and shedding assessments planned over an extended follow-up (study timeframes up to 60 months are specified).
Questions you could ask
These questions are suggestions for a conversation with the study team or your own clinician, not advice.
- This is an early-phase study, mainly about safety and dose. What is already known about this treatment?

Terms used on this page · explanations by MedicalUpdates.ai
- PK
- How the body absorbs, distributes, breaks down and removes a drug. It is studied by measuring drug levels or related substances at set times after a dose.
- eGFR
- A blood-test estimate of how well the kidneys are filtering. Lower numbers mean reduced kidney function; many studies set a minimum value.
- at Screening
- The checks done before enrolment to see whether a person qualifies, such as tests, scans or a review of medical history.
- informed consent
- The process of explaining a study, including its risks and what participation involves, so that a person can decide freely whether to take part. Consent is usually documented in writing, and a participant can choose to leave the study later.
- Adverse Events
- Any unwanted medical problem that happens during a study, whether or not it was caused by the treatment. A 'serious' adverse event is one that meets specific criteria, such as causing death, being life-threatening, requiring or prolonging hospital admission, causing significant disability, or another medically important outcome.
- investigational drug
- A treatment that is being tested and has not been approved for this use. It may be approved for a different condition. Being studied does not mean it works or is available outside the study.
- stable dose
- A dose that has not changed for a defined period before the study starts. Studies may require this so that background treatment is relatively stable when study measurements begin.
- Contraindication
- A reason a particular test or treatment should not be used for a person, for example a metal implant that rules out an MRI scan.
- corticosteroid
- Steroid medicines, such as prednisone, that reduce inflammation. Studies often require a stable dose at entry or measure whether the study treatment allows the dose to be reduced.
- immunosuppressive
- A medicine that reduces the activity of the immune system. Studies of autoimmune conditions often require a stable dose, a prior failure, or a washout of such medicines.
- upper limit of normal
- The highest value of a blood test that a laboratory considers normal. Criteria such as '≤ 3 × ULN' mean the result must be no more than three times that value.
- exclusion criteria
- The conditions that rule a person out even if they meet the inclusion criteria, for example other illnesses, certain medicines or pregnancy.
- Key Inclusion Criteria
- The conditions a person must meet to be considered for the study, for example a confirmed diagnosis, an age range or a test result.
- first-in-human
- The first study in which a treatment is given to people. Safety is the main question and the number of participants is usually small.
- placebo
- A treatment that looks like the study treatment but contains no active ingredient. Some participants receive it instead of the study treatment, usually without knowing which they got.
- cohort
- A group of people who share a characteristic, such as a diagnosis, and are studied together. 'Prospective' means they are followed forward from enrolment; 'retrospective' means existing records are reviewed.
- Sponsor
- The organisation or person that initiates the study and has authority over it. The sponsor may be a company, hospital, university, government agency or individual, and is not necessarily the organisation that funds the study.
